what to do? / Wednesday, August 08, 2007
i'm in a huge dilemma. last week my brother complained t my mom about how junior year i'll be on the normal track of taking pre-cal, instead of themore advanced track of taking ap calculus. so now my family's decision is to skip pre-cal because its not needed as much and take ap calc. this way, senior year, i can take the extended math at usm, giving me confirmed college credit when i pass the course. so yes, its a very good decision to take ap calc junior year. BUT my schedule is already so crammed and inflexible. so what to do?
okay. my current schedule for next year:
blk 1 - apush
2- ap eng
3 - french
4 - physics
5 - ap music theory
6 - pre cal
7 - physics
8 - band
so lets say i put off music theory for senior year and if my bro's right about ap calc being block four, part of me hoping its not true and that calc is in a better block..
1- apush
2 - hopefully physics or chem, preferably physics
3 - french
4 - ap calc
5 - ap english
6 - precal or wind
7 - physics/ some other course
8 - band/chem
maybe this way i can take wind ensemble, finally. well, then i really hope that my schedule works out like so. this is my more preferable schedule though..
1- apush
2 - ap calc
3 - french
4 - physics
5 - ap english
6 - precal/wind (either way, doesnt matter as much
7 - physics
8 - band/other(if i can get into wind)
well, my dilemma is that my infexible schedule WONT WORK OUT. because then senior year, I WILL BE SQUASHED. and my chedule will be more inflexible. because lets say junior i dont take ap calc and i do take ap music theory and lets say i take physics. i dont know how my schedule will look, but heres the courses i will be taking
1. ap world hist
2-3. ap physics (sciences take up 1 & 1/2 blocks)
4-5. chem
6. ap eng
7. ap calc
8. band
9. human anatomy.
i would most likely be unable to take human anatomy unless they can squeeze those four blocks of sciences into 3 blocks, which didnt manage t work for me junior year. and if they do manage t squeeze, then out of ten days, i only have one day of study hall. instead of the usual 3/10 days. and the chances of that being so, considering it didnt happen for me this year, i dont know, but i think somewhat low. and so yeah, i just hope that everything works out for my inflexible schedule. i really expected the school or the guidance department to have done a better job at putting the schedule together and making it more flexible for everyone. and last year, i finally understood why guidance counselors, ARE NO HELP AT ALL. as mr skeff said, they have hundreds of students and cant remember them all. which part of me understands but most of me cant. in life you meet HUNDREDS of people. and hundreds become you friends. so what are but just a few hundred more friends?
oh please just let everything work out right..
cheerio.
