A lot of people I know are going back to school today and I know there are those that enter school as late as September. I go back August 29. So tell me guys...what sort of classes are you taking and is there anything you're looking forward to? Haha...I definitely can't wait to go back to college. Here are the classes I'm taking:

Music Theory III
Ear Training III
Intro to Music Technology
Music Lab (it's just a class where you gotta perform on a stage...like applied music performance. )
Applied Piano
Applied composition
World ensemble
Environmental Biology (darn CORE requirements)

I have to wake up at the good 6 a.m so I can commute to college. That's...the only part I'm not looking forward to. If you guys can't guess my major, then I don't know what to say.

Good luck to those starting school this week and the following weeks. Please...do good in school. lol

oooh...my high school was very similar. I would have 4 periods a day...but the classes would alternate between A day and B day. The crappy part about that schedule is that AP classes are everyday so...you can only take 4 AP classes a year. >.> Which really makes me hate the other school with the 6-8 classes a day schedule because they can take more AP classes. >.> I regret high school, but oh well. College is a heck of a looooot better.

I'm starting school on Wedneday (although it's a late start). I haven't had a full day of school since way back in May, so I'm kind of looking forward to it. Thankfully, I've been able to drop the subjects I don't like for this year. I'll be continuing English (compulsory at my school), Maths, History and Chemistry this year. I'm also starting Economics. My school had eight lessons per day, which are forty minutes long.

[Feld0]

Next year, I'm taking the following:

• Math 11 Online
• Math 12 Honours
• AP Chemistry 11
• AP Physics 11
• AP Computer Science 12 Online
• Biology 12
• English 11
• Senior Concert Band 11/12
• Senior Jazz Band 11/12

Jazz band will happen before and after school, as it is an extracurricular course. At my school, we have eight 80-minute blocks spread out over two days. Two of mine are gonna be spares - I really hope I get both spares in the afternoon, because that means I'll be able to finish school at 12:50.

[Caius Casshern Sins]

Well, i will start college soon. My first quarter classes start is biology and a lab, chemistry with a lab, and pre-calculus.

[Brian6330]

On Thursday is Freshman's day. (New students get to know the school and parrticiapte in events. FYI I was a fresh man last year, so know you know what year I'm in High School now )

School starts on the 29th for me.

Here you don't get to choose your subjects.
Everybody takes the same ones... that is, until you reach your third year of High School.

There you can choose between having a Major in "Buisness" or "Chemistry."

Business= accounting, doing, letters, and all that stuff...
Chemistry= Biology, Physics, Chemistry, and other stuff.

I'll most likely take Chemistry as I'm not sure what I wanna do and it's easier to switch from Chemistry to Buisness than from Buisness to Chemistry


I hope I know what I wanna (at least which direction) throughout the course of next year...

I've been in school for a week, already.
A Schedule:
AP US History
Philosophy
AP Spanish V
Science Fiction

B Schedule:
AP English Composition 11
Algebra II
AP Spanish V
Analytical Physics.

Then there's friday schedule, which is just all the classes.

[Starrgrl24]

Wow, some of you have some pretty interesting classes for high school! When I was in high school we had...pretty much 4 unofficial tracks: fine arts (include music, drama and art), business, honors (the preps), and...well the non-preps. lol I was in the fine arts and honors. xD

Speech on AP Classes (yep)

Good luck to those taking AP classes. Those really are very intensive...but let me tell you something about AP classes: IT IS A WASTE OF TIME. The only thing AP classes are truly good for is making you look good in a college applications. THAT'S IT. Well yeah...people can argue that it'll help you be prepared. I disagree with that completely. I have taken AP English 11 and 12 in hopes of improving my writing by challenging myself. Unfortunately...I didn't learn very much. That is because...AP classes are ONLY for those students who just want to get ahead. Basically...you already have to know the subject beforehand in order to do well in any AP classes or you gotta work your a** off.

Now, I don't want to discourage students from taking AP classes, but if you want college credit, go to a community college. It is EASIER and you will get real credits based on your work and not from a stupid test like the AP exam. Soo...please do not take AP classes because it'll "look good" on your college application. Take classes that is relevant to your major and interest. If your high school offers pre-AP classes...then go for it. (If you wanna be English major for example...then AP English will be relevant)

Even though I go to a community college, my college is just as intensive as a university. When I took English 101 (equivalent to AP English 11) the classes was A LOT easier. That is because, the teachers are more willing to help you out and you have a lot more resource such as tutors. The purpose of EN 101 is to improve your writing, not to get ahead. That is why EN 101 is a lot easier. They're really just trying to help and writing is indeed an important writing skill.

If you want to be an engineer/computer science/pre-med...any of those science fields, do take AP chemistry, physics and/or biology and be sure to be very prepared for those and be ready for the workload...because it's basically a requirement to get into an science department nowadays. xD (Plus it goes back to what I said about taking classes relevant to your interest.)

Well, I'm saying this because I'm sure some of you guys are taking AP classes or planning to. I just want to give you some advice based on first-hand experience.

Good luck!

I don't even know what an AP class is T.T
Though I think I heard my friend talking about something like that, we go to different schools...

Anyway, my classes for next year: (Try to rememberTry to remember >.<)
Entrepreneurship (11?)
Computer Science University 12 (University referring to the difficulty)
Philosophy University 12 (Three years of religion class to get here, it better be good >.>)
Business Leadership (Online course)
Physics University 12
Calculus University 12
Sociology Uni/Col 11 (It's both and neither. At the same time)
English University 12

I kinda think I'm shooting myself in the foot by not giving myself a spare... but whatever. I'll survive.
My school system works in that we take 4 classes in the first semester, and 4 in the second. I can't tell you which are which, all I know is that I have the computer lab for both my first periods in the first semester, which will be epic ^.^

[AMAC]

Well, school starts for me tomorrow. Even though I haven't done very much with my holidays, they seem to have flown by. Especially the last few days.
