I second that moral.

Though being a smartass sometimes is okay, usually not, though, since most can't take a smartass-y comment well.

I guess I never mentioned my schedule.

Chemistry - I'm not a huge fan of science, but the teacher seems cool, so I should enjoy this class.
French III - Ugh. I should've stopped taking French after II (the graduation requirement).
Honors Pre-Calc - Finally, a math teacher that gets it. If you understand the material, you shouldn't have to do the homework.
AP US History - Obviously my hardest class, but it doesn't seem too bad so far.
Marketing II - Easy A, although not quite as easy as Marketing I.
English 10 - I'm usually pretty good with English, so I'm hoping 10th grade won't be any different.

Hm... I'll throw mine in

AP English 11 - my opinion hasn't been formulated for this class yet, but I like English, so I'll probably like this.
AP US History 2 - My hardest class, but it isn't all too difficult yet. I'm sure that'll change, though. The teacher's great, though
Pre-Calc - I hate math, I will hate this, but my teacher's really nice
Chemistry - So far, so dry
Physics - Now, this really interests me. So I feel that I'll find joy in this'n.
Digital Illustration - Drawing I find very fun, so I think I'll like this class, plus the teacher, he cool.
Intro to Guitar - Well, this one should prove to be interesting.

My goal is to make my senior year as easy as possible. Next year, technically, all I have to take is English and gym. Aw yeee

How is that?

And I still loathe English...

The only classes you need to take all four years to graduate are English and gym, in my school at least. Though, I won't be doing so, of course.

Ah, I see, so you're a technical mind.

By the time I reach Senior year, I should have 24.5/26 credits. But, they still make you take every class. Statistics that year would be my 6th math credit!

And yes, no doubt about it. I like things straightforward and to always have a right or wrong answer

Dat sux, my credits should be all set at the end of the year, save for English and gym.

I'm the opposite, I hate when there's only one answer. Probably the reason English is my favorite subject.

Oh, also, I forgot about Italian III which is, by far, my least favorite class. I shouldn't have taken it more than the two years necessary.

Not really. 24.5 would be really good. Most people would have like 20-21 by that point. But you're required four years of science, four years of English, four years of HIGH SCHOOL math (so my two math credits from middle school don't really count), and three years of social studies with a fourth being optional

Oh, I see. Still though, bummer that you have to take everything all four years, except history.

It's not too bad. I planned on taking them all the four years anyways. Looks better for college

That's true.

School's all about getting into a good college, unfortunately...

For some people, but not for everyone. You certainly aren't a failure if you don't get into a "good" college. Sure, Harvard will open doors that a State college can't, but in the big picture of life all college is good college. Just make sure you develop good study habits before you go and graduate. That's it. Success is what you do after college.

I agree wholeheartedly, but I feel that the way that school is structured, what with it garnered to test scores and grades, it's focused on college.

I mean, I'm nothing but a high school student. But with my experiences, along with some books that I've read, namely "Outliers" by Malcolm Gladwell, this seems to be the case.

I don't feel that college is even all that important, unless you're going into a profession, but that's just me.

Seniors are grumpy and don't like talking.

My Spanish teacher hates me.
