<p>I am a junior right now, and was wondering what to take over the summer. My problem is that last fall I started late at my school due to a sickness and couldn't get into my Chem. I class. Because of this, I took it this spring. I still want to take Chem. II, but am not sure whether to take it over the summer or in the fall. If I didn't take it over the summer, I would instead be taking Multivariable Calculus. Which one seems more feasible for a summer course assuming I apply EA to schools in the fall?</p>
<p>^ During the summer? HELL yes. Work hard during school, play hard during the summer. Getting into a particular college is NOT going to define your entire life.</p>
<p>Get a job, do an internship, go to a camp for a week or two-</p>
<p>But why the hell are you trying to turn summer vacation into school? That's just a stupid idea. </p>
<p>It's like training to run the marathon- you practice and train hard on some days, and rest and recuperate on others. Would it make sense to run 10 miles when you're suppose to be resting?</p>
<p>Why does everyone have to try to "get ahead of the game" or whatever? You are all gifted students, you are all going to good colleges, so why don't you just live your life? If Alessandro wants to go to summer school because he/she has a sincere, genuine love of Chem II, then by all means go ahead. But it seems like he/she is just trying to add another activity to a transcript.</p>
<p>You have another 60 years of your life to "rest and recuperate." But why do so on such an important summer? (using your marathon analogy) You're at the last leg of the race, and you can almost see the finish line. Does it make sense to rest now? </p>
<p>Genuine love? If everyone simply did what they "genuinely loved," how many people do you think would be going to high school? Why bother taking rigorous courses when you can kick back and relax? Isn't this all just so what we can get a good education, go to a good college, and live a good life?</p>
<p>Sup, I'll bet you will be working hard in college to get into a good grad school (maybe), working hard in grad school to get a good job, working probably far too much during your job to make a ton of money, and before you know it you're a 55 year old multimillionaire. What then? Are you going to call up some friends to call up some friends to go gorge jumping or go on road trips? Think about it.</p>
<p>...What are you saying? People who work hard to get into a good college don't have friends? Hahaha so getting into an Ivy condemns you for life? Would you rather be a 55 year old multimillionaire or a 55 year old gardener? Think about it. Don't stereotype hard workers by associating them with lonely men who don't have friends.</p>
<p>lol I appreciate your help. It isn't really a question of taking classes or not, but rather "which" class to take. I would like to hang out in the summer, but it's an important time for college admissions and I don't mind taking two classes.</p>
<p>I'm not looking to transfer it. Just to take it and self-study a little (the things I don't get in class) so in the future I can maybe pass a placement exam into the next class.</p>
<p>MVC isn't hard if you keep on doing the problems. Just know when to use sphereical coordinates and when to use cylindrical coordinates.
The Stewart book is awful though at explaining though.</p>
