<p>^^^ Same. I take some very easy classes, and some moderately difficult classes, but that doesnt matter to me. I take what I wanted. I dont need 234545233886830963 APs. I have a life.</p>
<p>My life isn't actually all that bad...only on weekdays. I spend all of Friday night out and I just wake up early on Sat's (7 AM, I don't know how I do it...I tell my dad to force me out of bed every morning and do all my EC/Studying/Hw till I go out for the rest of the night. So basically I party it up Friday/Saturday night...every weekend. And I kill myself with school-related crap during the rest of the week</p>

</ul>
<p>i get home at 4pm (again...I ride the bus)</p>
<p>I'm beat when I get home so I take an hr nap and then eat dinner...I prolly start my homework at 7-8pm...I have 4 classes per day and I have at least 5+ hours of homework to do...I usually stop around 1am...I end up sleeping around 2am. </p>
<p>However I have to babysit (6pm-1am) sometimes so I don't finish my hw or I sleep really late.</p>
<p>Lets not forget in IB i need 150+ additional hours...aka CAS hours and then I have my ECs:
- NHS
- COTA (club of the arts)
- Manga club
*mostly i go to random clubs doing things for them and teachers if I am needed, my junior year is packed so I just do ECs and aid them when I am needed...except NHS - everything there is mandatory, must attend ALL meetings!!!</p>
<p>Also, now that I am a junior I need to study and test out of two classes which I am taking SL (standard lvl) : Spanish IV and Psychology
In addition, I have to do IAs (internal assessments) most of them are due b4 '07.</p>
<p>next yr my HLs (higher lvls) will be:
- IB chem III

Do you really want the description of HOW I got 3.15 DUE to the first semester of 9th grade? I mean, in details with descriptions/procedures on how to accomplish such? You want some guidance on subject of achieving 3.15 GPA with help of first semester of 9th grade?</p>
<p>It's really pleasing by the way that you actually took time to research my personal post history. I appreciate such attention.</p>
<p>Yes, IB.flip, you do win. How do you live on 2.5 hours of sleep?? I usually get around 5 or 6, and, in order to have enough energy to make it through the day, I have to drink Red Bull like it's my job.</p>
<p>You guys are dorks. You dont determine who is having a harder HS life by comparing high school schedules. WHile this and ECs are a factor, there is also the social aspect. For example, someone who is depressed bc their best friend killed themself and they have all APs and are secretly gay and are contemplating suicide will have the hardest HS life. Or, someone whos girlfriend just left them for, I dunno, their HS enemy and they just failed a test and they are developing a problem with heroin and has all APs would have a hard life, etc....Then again, most CCers dont have social lives so....</p>
<p>There's different kinds of stress, dude, and people react differently to them. You can't compare emotional stress in one person to physical stress in another, for example, because they mean different things to different people.</p>
<p>By the way, I wouldn't say having a suicidal friend or getting dumped or getting into drugs automatically means you have more of a social life than someone who's really involved in his school and community. In fact, wouldn't it be the opposite way around?</p>
<p>IB.flip -- shazbot! 2.5 hours of sleep? I can consider that all-nighter. I think you should work on time management. Like, you could eat dinner while you're working on homework and get sleep in bus, also in that 4-7 PM period.
I'm sleeping 7 hours on usually loaded days (slept 10 today) and I believe it's too few!</p>
<p>Haha, 2.5 an all-nighter? I'd call tonight an all-nighter. Do I hear the sound of hazelnut beans in a coffee pot?! I'm souped.</p>
<p>that wasnt my point...dude. My point is you cant measure how hard your HS life is by classes and ECs alone.</p>
<p>My classmates and I spent a fair amount of time comparing draft lottery numbers and wondering what they would be when we were 19 and the Army was looking forward to giving us an all-expenses-paid trip to Vietnam.</p>

<p>the thing is...I ALWAYS multi-task!!! I time manage everything too!!! it's just I have so much no matter how much I multi-task and time manage, it's not enough.</p>

If I would sleep 2.5 hours a day, I would be able to sleep whenever in whatever circumstances. But this doesn't sound good, maybe you should check with doctor. 2.5 hours and you can't sleep in bus -- that might indicate some serious problems with health.</p>
<p>I am trying to cure cancer; but so far my experiments have proven to be inconclusive. It is annoying the heck out of me and thus my life has been very difficult lately.</p>
