<p>Hey,
I got senioritus...that's b/c I got into Caltech and MIT ED and now hanging waiting to hear from Stanford.</p>
<p>My parents think I'm a slug and threaten to send me to my financial safety rather than pay the big bucks at MIT or Caltech b/c they swear my slug-ness will spill over to my freshman year. They even suggested I get professional help-- said I have depression. I'm just bored and prefer to play video games and relax until I start college...what is wrong with that???</p>
<p>I'm pulling Bs now..and I even failed PE second quarter...HA HA HA...but thankfully it averages in and I will not need to repeat / make up the quarter...Guess I'll put on my shorts for now on...get a C then...</p>
<p>Seriously--- any advice...should it matter if I get good grades? Should I try to get rid of my affliction!<br>
I had straight As first quarter when ED mattered...straight Bs (except Calc-- A+) in second quarter ...and hope to pull off Bs for the year so I don't risk being rescinded.....no Cs yet...but it is TEMPTING to do nothing. None of these schools are going to give me AP credit anyways-- so that's pointless too...I enjoy my AP classes...the other classes required to graduate are painfull.... I still have my ECs...but once home...I have no interest is stupid HS homework and assignments.</p>
<p>So for those of you at MIT, Caltech, and the like....did you have senioritus and are now fine as a freshman?</p>
<p>How did you get your parents to back off...</p>
<p>If you have this attitude now, are you sure you’re going to be able to turn yourself completely around by September, when you will have to be managing an MIT/Caltech workload?</p>
<p>You got into both Caltech and MIT. It’s ok to have seniritus. I dont know what’s wrong with your parents. Maybe to ease their worry, just pretend to work?</p>

B/c I still read lots in the areas of interest…I enjoy learning math and science and keep busy with MIT Shareware… I just really have motivational issues doing mindless busy work in high school humanities classes…I have to draw and color posters for my book reports and history timelines ! Good Grief!</p>
<p>Cool dude, you’re in the exact same position as myself. I also got accepted into my top choice school and like you, I couldn’t care less for humanities. Thank god someone else feels the same way about “busy work in humanities classes.” Phew. Even worse are those mindless projects. Good grief. Make it end.</p>
<p>Hahaha, senioritus, in that case, don’t worry…all that stupid stuff will end soon. Glad to hear that you’re spending your free time learning via MIT courses.</p>
<p>There’s no AP credit given at Caltech…so I wouldn’t actually screw up the exam…not sure I am going to even bother to take it if that’s where I decide to attend.</p>
