Let's all have an excuse to subtly brag and one-up each other about all the AP classes we're taking!

[–]Sunshine__x18 17 points18 points ago

Only thing you're missing out on is stress, loss of sleep and social life. Count yourself lucky.

[–]NoSarcasmHere17 6 points7 points ago

My school must be doing it wrong, or right. I blew through AP Chem like a boss and got a 4 on the test.

[–]Sunshine__x18 0 points1 point ago

I'd like to say right, but I truly enjoy everything I've learned and the push to be better... so better for some :)

Those beautiful credits...

[–]exp0wnster16 1 point2 points ago

Or its just like a regular class

[–]Sunshine__x18 4 points5 points ago

AP is nothing like a regular class. The material is extremely challenging, the homework is long, hard, and in large quantities. I spend on average over three hours a night on homework with only three AP classes.

Plus they count for a college credit.

[–]exp0wnster16 4 points5 points ago

Which AP classes? I took the AP comp sci test w/o the class, and i earned a 4. It was stupid easy.

[–]Sunshine__x18 1 point2 points ago

English, History, and Algebra.

Congrats on getting the four, all my friends who took that class said it was easy, so its probably just the core classes they make hard, and some electives. :)

Either way, I pray for summer every single year.

[–]exp0wnster16 0 points1 point ago

I've taken Euro history as well ( 4 also). I'm taking BC Calc, Physics, and U.S. History this year.

Three hours a night is forever, how to they assign that much stuff for you? AP classes are a little advanced compared to other stuff, but they aren't full on college courses, at least at my school. AP classes are standardized right?

[–]Sunshine__x18 1 point2 points ago

In my school they give you a college credit for AP classes you take in addition to high school credit, we even go down to the college and take the final exams there.

It takes forever, I swear they were trying to kill us. Typical homework night for me would be my regular honors classes homework first. In science generally just a lab sheet or some vocab words or notebook upkeep for a text or check. I'm also in JROTC and we were assigned a huge essay per nine weeks(every nine weeks) that's a lot of our grade so I always spent at least thirty minuets a night every night working on that so it didn't come down to last min. Then the AP stuff when my brain was warmed up. Generally we'd do two pages of take home problems a night in Alg. that had to have the work shown and then checked back through. Those were some long nights. English was unpredictable but my teacher loved essays and vocab, so we'd always have a page or two of vocab or an essay or a book to read and a section do the next day with our annotations. And history was fun, once again we had a project due at the end of every nine weeks that counts for a lot so I'd spend thirty minuets on that a night plus whatever else was assigned, he was random with his assignments and very creative :) Plus studying like crazy for our weekly tests and mid week quizzes and trying to do the best work possible so you can use them as references on college apps, and get maximum points.

...I'm a very thorough worker.

[–]exp0wnster16 0 points1 point ago

30 minutes a day for a nine week project seems like overkill. You should be done in two weeks if you do that much productive work each day

[–]lancerevo98 0 points1 point ago

HA! 3 hours with AP? My school is 3 hours regular classes!

[–]Sunshine__x18 0 points1 point ago

I pity you then!

[–]nicki5115 0 points1 point ago

My school has the cambridge program instead of AP. I can't one up anyone. FWP

[–]throesofdespair16 0 points1 point ago

I think you just did.

[–]nicki5115 0 points1 point ago

AP is much tougher from what I've heard

[–]throesofdespair16 0 points1 point ago

Just don't tell people that (;

[–]guardgirlx315 -2 points-1 points ago

We work our asses off all year without saying much, let us have this one thing.

[–]throesofdespair16 2 points3 points ago

Hardly. AP students are always,"OMG I HAVE ALLLLL THIS WORK TO DO." which is true, but nevertheless.

[–]Thehealeroftri17 13 points14 points ago

Personally, I'd prefer schedule posts over the "feel bad for me" posts.

[–]doubledklondike 10 points11 points ago

It's better than seeing other boring bullshit on facebook.

[–]lingeringthoughts 12 points13 points ago

Gasp. You don't enjoy Josie's quotes on life?

Bullshit.

[–]sani579 2 points3 points ago

I think Wiz Khalifa and Drake are quite the philosophers, actually!

[–]Benlarge116 0 points1 point ago

I've been doing the 'Context Bot' thing from XKCD and it's been really fun so far, plus people flip shit when you comment on those things outside of the circlejerk

[–]Dragonfire32112315 5 points6 points ago

I don't get my schedule until the first day of school =(

[–]guardgirlx315 0 points1 point ago

That sucks! I feel bad for completely new kids, because they won't even know what's going on...

[–]Dragonfire32112315 0 points1 point ago

Well freshmen get to go to freshmen oriantation, where they get their schedule and get to take a tour of the school and find where their classes are. Upperclassmen get mailed their home room number and get their schedule the first day of school in home room.

[–]Sunshine__x18 2 points3 points ago

Ned!! But yeah, Its my senior year, we're talking senior pictures, prom pictures, schedule's, the works :P

*For those that dont know, this is Game of Thrones Ned Stark. Watch the show. It is amazing. *

[–]w0nder_wall16[S] 1 point2 points ago

such an amazing show...

[–]Sunshine__x18 2 points3 points ago

The books too. They're holding me over for the YEAR wait ;-;

[–]classy_stegasaurus14 1 point2 points ago

Read the books first. Makes things way less confusing, and you'll actually know who Rickon is!

[–]Sunshine__x18 1 point2 points ago

Seriously, i was so confused as to who he was until I put two and two together and figured out there was another kid. I find Rickon adorable now that I'm reading them :)

[–]classy_stegasaurus14 1 point2 points ago

I love Rickon, but Arya is best POV character

[–]Sunshine__x18 1 point2 points ago

I KNOW! I hate Catelyn, she makes me furious. Second favorite is Bran though, his chapters about dreaming are so freaking magic :)

[–]classy_stegasaurus14 1 point2 points ago

Catelyn sucks. She was whiny like Sansa at first, except her character never got developed out of it.

[–]Sunshine__x18 1 point2 points ago

Exactly, Sansa grew out of it, and Sansa had the excuse of being eleven

ಠ_ಠ at Catelyn

[–]classy_stegasaurus14 1 point2 points ago

You would think that Catelyn and Cersi would be friends because they both suck

[–]Sunshine__x18 1 point2 points ago

Exactly. But there is that whole thing with Cersi being the spawn of evil. xD

[–]classy_stegasaurus14 0 points1 point ago

And thus making Joff the grandson of evil. Makes perfect sense

[–]nicki5115 0 points1 point ago

I get mine friday! I'm so excited and I'm starting tenth grade on the eighth :)

[–]whatsernameisfine16 0 points1 point ago

I hate my schedule, I got put into IB courses that I didn't even sign up for. The worst part is that I can't change my schedule.

[–]neilthecoder16 0 points1 point ago

Pre IB or full?

[–]whatsernameisfine16 0 points1 point ago

Actual IB courses, but I'm not in the full program.

[–]neilthecoder16 0 points1 point ago

Which ones?

I'm in full IB, and I finished Pre-IB last year.

[–]whatsernameisfine16 0 points1 point ago

Physics, econ and government. I think there was one more but I can't remember.

[–]neilthecoder16 0 points1 point ago

Oh, I've got physics, Chem HL, English HL, European History HL, Math and Spanish.

Good luck.

[–]whatsernameisfine16 -1 points0 points ago

Holy crap you must be really smart. And thanks for the good luck. :D

[–]neilthecoder16 0 points1 point ago

More like I'm a huge dumbass for taking full IB. :P

[–]DoctorSchwartz16 0 points1 point ago

Can you take IB courses without being in the full program? My school doesn't allow anyone outside of IB to take an actual IB course.

[–]whatsernameisfine16 0 points1 point ago

I'm not in the full program, they have me in IB physics, IB economics, and IB government.

[–]sammus14 0 points1 point ago

Dude, my senior year is gonna be so awesome. My ONLY hard classes are AP Lit and APUSH. But other than that I'm taking 4 music classes, and then a pesky mandatory gym credit.

I can't wait for people to be like, OMG we have THIS together!!!!

[–]Benlarge116 0 points1 point ago

APUSH was a bitch on the exam, make sure you know 1850-1950s, that's what it focused on

[–]NorthByNorthwest 0 points1 point ago

When you think about it, it IS the middle of US History

[–]sammus14 0 points1 point ago

Awesome, thanks for the heads up! Our teacher for APUSH is the coolest teacher in the school and widely regarded by our school as one of the coolest people in the world, but also that she is the hardest teacher they've ever had! So I know that it is going to be my hardest class!

[–]saddammit 0 points1 point ago

They change it every year

[–]spyfer15 0 points1 point ago

I say the only AP class that I ever considered epic was my English class. Of course my teacher wasn't stupid, and was a nerd like me so it helped.

[–]dja079418 0 points1 point ago

Heading into my first year at a university and I never have to be in class before 10 a.m. I am a schedule artist.

[–]coppeis 0 points1 point ago

They already came :(

[–]DauntlesstheDrab 0 points1 point ago

NO LALALA CAN'T HEAR YOU. I do not wish to THINK about school for as long as possible.

[–]ashfork 0 points1 point ago

This makes me happy I'm not in school anymore! Woo hoo! :)

[–]brandonlieng 1 point2 points ago

Too bad my school gives out schedules around September. D:

[–]StandardKangaroo15 0 points1 point ago

Canadian. Won't be getting mine for a while still.

[–]polkadotpanda16 0 points1 point ago

I saw this yesterday, I nodded, and today I check my facebook and it's flooded with Schedule posts. w0nder_wall can tell the future...
