This year is passing by QUICK. Entering my 5th week on Monday.

This school year is going to kill me

The kids, the workload, the hours<<<<

I'm getting much more homework than I've gotten in the past. Add that to college applications and stuff...UGH.

And I ****ing bombed (64%) my AP Psychology test because I didn't study because I was doing AP Biology homework. All my AP's are manageable, it's just trying to manage those with college stuff is hard. I can't wait for the end of October, by then I should be done with everything college related except scholarships. Scholarships won't be hard to manage with school work.

I don't hate this school year yet. All my classes are small and I have friends in every class. Seniors get out 2 hours early. Not too bad so far.

I just hate getting up early. Ugh.

Can't believe High School was 2 years ago! Class of 2011!

Almost one more day until the start of my junior year

Enjoy high school kids, even if you hate it. Trust me, you'll miss it.*



*some elements

National Merit Scholar Semifinalist results are arriving around the country, qualifying seniors will be announced the 11th. Did you gerls make it?

Changed my schedule today.

Instead of taking AP Physics, I will be replacing that with AP Chemistry and taking just regular Physics on the side. My counselor recommended me do this, because he said AP Physics in my school can get really challenging.

AP Chem in my school is two years, and I take the exam my senior year.

Having early flight is awful

I screamed

Are AP classes worth taking?

Oooo at my school its a double period everyday instead

ALL MY FRIENDS ARE IN A DIFFERENT LUNCH PERIOD THAN ME!

It depends on which ones you take. Some classes like AP Chemistry, AP United States History, AP Calculus can be useful for college credit. Others like AP Human Geography are very useless and many schools don't give you credit for those.

The tests range in difficulty, once again it depends on which one you take. The actual course work depends on the teacher. My AP United States History teacher didn't give us too much work, but this other AP US History teacher my friend had gave out a LOT of work and we both ended up getting a 4 (could have gotten a 5 if I spent more than an hour studying for the exam).

Your school has lunch periods? We just all have lunch at the same time.

I could not deal with that

I have alternating double/single period for both Physics and AP Chem

Depends. They give you college credit but like said above, they can be difficult and a lot of work since they pretty much are college classes.

Yes they are. By the time I finish senior year I think I'll have taken like 14 of them. While I'm not using them to get credits for college, they look extremely positive for you college application if you pass the tests plus my school doesn't give final exams for AP's so its helps with your grades as well.
