AP English  
AP United States History  
Global History  
Geometry  
Chemistry  
Spanish II (might be Art I or Publications I)  
Computer Applications II (might be Publications I or Art I)

I wish I had more AP classes.

What’s your schedule?

Senior is college, taking the following courses:

Human Physiological Systems  
Biomechanics  
Commercializing Biotechnology  
Biomedical Engineering Lab  
Intro. to Finite Systems

Think you can guess my major?

(Of course, all this is in addition to my undergraduate research in a lab, my editorship in a school publication, Vice President of my fraternity, acting in the theatre group…oh man, what a packed semester this will be.)

College Senior

Spanish 1B  
Fantasy and Sci Fi in Literature  
Ethnic Literature  
Literature for young adults  
Literature and self-reflection

Much of the classes I’ve took for the past year have been Literature survey classes. Its kind of nice, school is more of a continuous ‘book club’ type arrangement than conventional lectures, labs, notes, etc.

I’ve been going easy on myself and let myself slack off in school. Last years grades were very disappointing for me and it is the reason I want to repeat Spanish. Can I get straight A’s? Hell yes, but I have to think about my goal and work toward it every minute of every day this semester.

Hey, I’m gonna be a junior in high school, too.

However, I don’t have my schedule yet–we get them on the first day. If all goes well, they won’t have screwed it up, but as it is, I will probably have to have a fight with the counsellors to fix it.

Gonna be a senior in HS. Was just up at the school today bitching them out, because they screwed my schedule up big-time. It should be:

Theory of Knowledge (actually before school. Grrrr.)  
Guidance aide  
Math SL IB  
English HL IB  
PE/Health  
Spanish SL IB (this was down on my schedule as 11th grade HL French. Uh…good try, I guess…)  
History HL IB  
Bio SL IB (2 periods! Every day! Aack!)

When do you all start classes again? We start Sept. 4. I’m definitely ready for school to start again (summer’s boring by now), but I’m _so_ not looking forward to a 7 AM class every morning. Gonna be a rough change, going from getting up at 10 AM to at about 5 AM…

TeenSthrnAccent is a Junior in high school. His schedule is

Swimming  
US Hist AP  
PreCalc H  
Swimming  
Desktop Publ  
English III  
Market Yourself  
Physics H  
Spanish III

He’s quite irritated over the class called Market Yourself because it wasn’t something he picked. I read the course description and really it sounds like a useful course for fall semester of junior year. It’s about filling out applications, making a resume, interviewing, giving oral presentations, how you choose to be who you are and making that something you do aware rather than letting it happen, also it sounds like they spend time working on college essay writing skills. I think it looks like a helpful class to take since he’ll start selecting and applying to colleges after winter break. He’s decided he wants out though.

He’s kinda iffy about the Desktop publishing, but it fulfills his last technology credits and he did list it among his selections for the year.

High school senior.

AP English Literature & Composition  
AP Spanish  
AP Statistics  
Philosophy/American Government (I wanted AP US History, but it wouldn’t fit in my schedule)  
AP Physics  
Gym/physics lab/study hall  
Wind Ensemble (aka band)

It’s okay… I wish I got the history I wanted, though. I’m going to be so bad at Philosophy.

College Junior, just transferred to English from Journalism.

Though I’ll probably be dropping that first course for something different. It’s my first semester as an English major and I don’t want to overload myself.

The high school junior in our house started school today. Her schedule looks like this:

College Algebra/Trig  
Spanish IV  
Physics H  
History and Thought of Western Man  
(two year combined English and History, Honors)  
Psychology  
AP American Studies (two hour class, English and History)  
She wanted to wait and take Physics next year, so this year wouldn’t be so overwhelming, but there wasn’t anything else she could fit in there that would really be worth the time. Add three varsity sports to that and it could be a long year.
