It means that I work hard, get shit done, and can still say that I love a particular ideology that most people associate with laziness.

I try to plan ahead and get stuff done....but I'm me, so I forget a lot. I think my memory is getting worse.

I would work ahead, but when I would be working ahead I'm busy doing other stuff that I have to have done. It's an endless cycle.

I've taken this whole year off. Lit required only reading and FOCUS UMA during essays. Gov was mostly book.
So, yeah, juniors: your class is the last easy senior year. after that 24 credits are required instead of 22. LIVE IT UP! TAKE AS FEW CLASSES THAT COUNT AS POSSIBLE! I will always be thankful I decided against a math course this year.
Its funny to sit in study hall and watch a lot of other kids studying (cramming/worrying) for AP calculus and AP Biology (which is a bastard of a class; don't take it) and I have nothing because I was smart.
Sorry, TOBY.

I would take AP biology just for fun.
But planet watching sounds fun too.

Tyler, did you even have a science class?
And I would have taken only AP Lit and Gov/Econ with band and three art, but my mom said that was too much fun.....so I replaced an art with AP Stat.

This thread started with a situation from which I made a lucky escape. In this case, I am absolutely fucked. Even if it doesn't happen tonight, it's unavoidable.

lol. The only difference in my schedule from Tyler's is that I still have a math class. But considering I have Dr. Vermilya, it's really not that bad.
Senior year whoo!

In fact, no explosion occurred and no punitive measures have been taken so far. I attribute this to the fact that it was already 11:30 when my dad saw my progress report. Even so, I'm still probably screwed. |

Dr Vermilya was awesome.
And to nicole: no, I have no science course this year. I don't need it, Physics was the third and last required class. Algebra III was the last require math. SO I SAID FUCK THESE CLASSES, TOOK TWO BAND CLASSES, A COMPUTER CLASS, AND PSYCHOLOGY/SOCIOLOGY

Darn....I wish I could have dropped math....but Stats is all calculators, and I like to play with them, so I should at least be somewhat entertained. WHY COULDN'T I GET DR. VERMILYA AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, wait....he doesn't do AP. Guess I get Mrs. Paine again.

lol I had Mrs. Payne freshman year. And yeah, having no science this year was cool. Though, I have had cool science teachers these last couple of years ( Mr. Murnan and Derrick's mom)

I've gotten so good at it, it's actually made me better at doing math, too. |

I really wanted to take AP Physics this year, because I was trying to find the perfect classes to complement my desire to be an Electronic Engineer.
MY CHOICES WERE:
AP Calculus
AP Physics
AP Computer Science
Engineering Drafting and Design
WELL, calculus was a must, so I took that. I'M A SUCKER FOR TEH MATHS. Engineering D/D was also must because it was perfect for the whole practical experience. Then I was down to choosing between CS and Physics...Being an EE requires both programming and physics experiences, but I thought to myself that in case I ever decided to branch away from engineering into a similar field (which very well may happen) the Computer Science experience might be more relevant. So, I chose APCS and have enjoyed it thoroughly.
ANYWAY, I type all that to say: KIDS (i.e. non-seniors), choose classes that may complement your career path and allow you to get a taste of what you plan to spend the next 50 years of life doing for a living. WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU TAKE AP STATS if you had no desire to be either a statistician or professional gambler? I mean really, AP Stats is already useless to people who actually like math, so what sense does it make for someone in a field completely unrelated to math to take the class?
Senior year isn't about the challenge. Out of 400 seniors, I'm sure everyone but 1 or 2 Asians will agree with me. Senior year is about having fun and easing your way into the real world. NEXT TIME A PARENT TELLS YOU TO DO SOMETHING THAT WILL BENEFIT YOU IN NO WAY WHATSOEVER, CALL ME AND I WILL HAVE HIM/HER EXPORTED TO ASIA WITH THE REST OF THOSE OVERACHIEVERS.
