Apr. 5th, 2006 03:57 pmFirst, please give me suggestions of pictures to take for the photo meme. So far I have two things to take pictures of (3 if you include
violetmist2003's face, which I'm not) and I would like to take loads of pictures. So please, tell me what to take pictures of!
Yesterday we got our teachers to sign recommendations for the classes we want to take next year. Right now, I'm signed up for AP English 4, AP Calculus BC, AP French, AP Political Science/AP Economics (each is a semester course), AP Chemistry, and Wind Ensemble. I was planning on taking Poli Sci and Econ over the summer at Irvine Valley College, but it turns out that there's only one Poli Sci course and it starts in late May and it has some mandatory meeting when I'm in school, so it doesn't look like that's going to work out. So I guess I'll try to take it at summer school at my high school. Only problem is that everyone wants to take it over the summer, so they do this lottery thing where they randomly draw who gets in. I hope I do because I really want to take AP Physics, and I really don't like economics. AP Poli Sci would actually be fine with me if I didn't want to take AP Physics since political science is one of the areas I'm thinking about going into in college, but I don't really want to take AP Econ. Oh well.
One of the reasons I was more worried about taking Physics anyways was that my chemistry teacher was talking this morning (as were all the science teachers. My friends' bio teacher was telling them about it a lot too) that colleges really like seeing 1 year of bio, 1 of chem, and 1 of physics, and we get a year of bio through our Coordinated Science 1 and 2 classes (mandatory freshman and sophomore year), and I'm in chem now, so it's better to take physics next year than AP Chem. But I really love chemistry so I want to take it more than physics, and in any case that whole one year of each thing is more for UCs, and I'm only applying to one UC probably, and also pretty much only if you plan to be a science major. And even though I don't know what I want to do yet, I definitely am not going to major in science. And most of the schools I apply to be will be smaller liberal arts colleges anyways, and that shouldn't matter as much to them.

Date: 2006-04-05 11:42 pm (UTC)Wow, that's a lot of AP classes. I would die. I'm taking only one now (it's called "college level" though and I don't have to take the AP test at the end) and it's hard enough. I've never heard that thing about colleges wanting Physics before, I always hear that they want Biology and Chemistry and at least three years of science, unless you want to major in science. The UCs might want that, but if you would rather go to a small liberal arts school, they'll just love the fact that you took four years of science at all, and that it was AP. Or, at least, that's been my experience with them. *shrug*
