5. Chemistry 1 Pre-AP
6. P.E.
6 (Second Semester). Study Hall (WTF? I didn't sign up for that either. I'm dropping it for another P.E.)

My high school was hard - I had an all AP schedule in addition to three hours of studio art daily (and art teachers that liked to ignore the fact that you weren't there only for art). The added stress of having to re-audition annually didn't make it any more fun either.
College has been far less stressful than high school ever was for me. And this semester I have four day weekends!

When playing basketball, you had to calculate your FG% on the fly. If you couldn't do it fast enough, you'd have a 24 second violation before you even calculated the trajectory on your jump shot. :nerd

If you to go a public school, how many days is your school year? How many days of school does Texas require?
In PA it's 180 days.
Question: What is the education law that states how many days of school students are expected to attend and how many days they can miss before they are held back?
Answer: Texas school districts are required to provide at least 180 days of instruction (Section 25.081, Texas Education Code). However, some districts have a waiver from the Commissioner of Education allowing them to substitute a few of those days for teacher professional development days.
To receive credit for a class, a student is required to attend school for at least 90 percent of the days the class is offered (Section 25.092, Texas Education Code). Students with excessive absences may restore credit as provided by local policy. (04/2002)

The money thing makes sense, but with all of the credits that you've already accumulated, it would seem that you'll be able to graduate college in about 4 semesters. (honestly, with all of those AP classes available, how much longer before someone can completely place out of college altogether with AP exams? I took AP courses in high school and did well on AP exams, but never took the college credits, because I had no desire to speed my way through that part of life -- probably just me, though). That, and the fact that about 95% of the Ivy League student body is substantially relying on finanical aid like grants and scholarships (not just student loans) to fund college. The money they want from you is the money you pay after graduation.
Regardless, the 2nd part of that is rather remarkable to me. I have yet to meet anyone who was hired for a professional position based on how well he or she did as a high school student. But, again, maybe that's just me.

Exactly...people don't give a shit what you did in college once you're applying for jobs, and if you go to an Ivy League school, you will have a guaranteed job/intership before you even graduate. And if you're that smart to dominate HS like that and go Ivy League, something tells me that you will make that money back. Rather quickly.

Not all AP classes go towards degree requirements, transfer, etc. And most schools require some type of "you need 60 + hours here to get a degree here" thing. Four houts with 12 hours is is only 48 hours.

I was being marginally faceitious. I come from the same era as Kori, when AP classes were limited to basic courses (math, science, english, history) and were available only in 11th and 12th grade, so I'm a bit surprised to see how many AP courses are now available.

AP courses are still basically for 11th and 12 grade, but now there are a few new ones.

You know, as I wrote that sentence, I thought about KG and Kobe and Lebron and considered editing the sentence to read something like "a professional, non-athletic position . . . ."
I decided against it because of the slippery slope potential for being called out by someone contending that "porn star" or "lap dancer" is a "professional, non-athletic position," too, or something like that.
I guess if you exhibit great talent or "talent" in high school, college IS a complete waste of time.

Okay...Maybe I wasn't clear, but what I meant by "not wanting to work to hard" is taking less classes each semester. Because of all my AP credits, in truth, i'm able to graduate college in 3 years easily. However, I want to enjoy college life and graduate in the normal timespan of 4 years. In my college, we are required to have 120 hours of credit, so I am able to average about 12 hours per semester.
Yall don't understand what hell I went through in HS. In the middle all those hard academic classes, I had tennis practice and matches everyday. Sometimes when we have a match, I don't get home until 11:00, and with that many AP classes, sleep is almost an after-thought (Our team won 3 state champions by the way, so i'm not doing it just to feel my resume). And if that wasn't enough, I was also concert master of my orchestra and had after school reahersals 3 times a day. Tennis and Orchestra often conflicted too.

I feel you. I had an academic schedule that rivaled yours; if a course that I took had an AP or Honors section, I was in it. I also played varsity football for two years and varsity baseball for two years and participated in a number of other on-campus and off-campus organizations and honor societies. When you're in that environment, it's not easy; you're right about that. Of the people who formed the core of my high school peer group, there are now at least 5 attorneys, 4 surgeons, 2 non-surgeon doctors, 4 engineers, and at least 2 exremely successful entrepreneurs. It was a pretty significant feat to remain academically competitive in that group, and as the only varsity athlete in that group, my ability to accomplish that feat was burdened by the extra pressures brought on by daily practice schedules and games. As a baseball player, I can assure you that 11 p.m. was frequently long gone when I got home from games. As a football player, I had at least 3 occasions when weeknight road games meant that I wasn't in bed until 3 or 4 a.m. With that resume, I'm sure that I can completely sympathize with your plight.
But, since you've sought advice elsewhere about college, I'll offer some admittedly unsolicited advice here: I think you sell yourself short if you think that you've somehow earned the right to take it easy after doing that -- even if you're only talking about taking reduced hours in each semester of your collegiate career.
In the first place, and very much in my own way, I think that clepping hours through AP credits is a pretty significant disservice to academic advancement, because while you've certainly demonstrated some degree of academic prowess, you've done it in a fairly contained and controlled environment. You've also done it under the tutelage of high school teachers, rather than collegiate professors. I understand that you've passed AP exams and that isn't an insignificant accomplishment. But, I think you should understand that what you'll learn in college is mostly about reshaping your thinking and expanding your ability to apply critical thinking to solve problems. There is some percentage of that process that occurs by starting at the fundamental level in the collegiate environment and moving forward from that point. Obviously, my view of the value of AP credit and the wisdom of eschewing low-level collegiate course work is very much the minority view of such things. But I'm absolutely convinced that my achievement through college and graduate school was fueled, at least in part, by the fact that I had to go back to basics in my first year of college and start an entirely new learning process.
That issue aside, I recall that some of my friends who chose the path that you've chosen (limited hours each semester at a large state university), found out too late that they had relaxed too much and struggled to recover from that mistake. Again, my unsolicited advice to you is to work as hard as you can and to push yourself as much as you can. Success in college, academically, can frequently be as much about mentality as it is about ability. If you're convinced that you don't have to work as hard as others because you're taking fewer hours, you'll likely find that soem of the others have passed you by because the limitations on their time cause them to be more focused. Late in my collegiate career, I had semesters where I took 18 upper-division hours and worked Monday through Friday, 20-25 hours per week. In those semesters, my GPA was significantly higher than it had been in semesters in which I had 12 hours or 15 hours and wasn't burdened with a job. Many of my friends had similar or identical experiences.
I don't know you at all. For all I know, you are the most self-motivating student in the history of academics. I hope for your sake that you are.
Your path is entirely your own. I chose a post-high school route that was very different than the path that you've chosen. I don't regret my choices, though they brought about great challenges and required hard work; I hope that you won't ever regret yours. From those experiences, though, I fear that you might if you don't maintain the same attitude and drive that apparently served you so well in high school. On that count, I hope that I'm wrong.

Wow, very nicely written. Thanks.
But to answer your question, yes I am a very self-motivated person. I always strive to be the best, whether its academics or sports, and by not doing so, it will annoying me. However, although I am taking very few hours my freshman year, I will and must (Honors requirements)take about 18 hours each semester after my first.
I really need the break, or I'll drive myself crazy. I am naturally a nervous person, so having a difficult 1st year would be devastading. Also, by graduating in 4 years rather in 3 will help as well. Once I hit dental school, however, most of my attention will be focused in school, similarly to high school.
The reason I worked so hard in high school was for the scholarships. Now that i'm pretty much getting paid to school, I don't have to worry about rushing threw college. I want to have fun for once, unlike HS where I had no time at all to socialize.

I had semesters where I took 18 upper-division hours and worked Monday through Friday, 20-25 hours per week. In those semesters, my GPA was significantly higher than it had been in semesters in which I had 12 hours or 15 hours and wasn't burdened with a job. Many of my friends had similar or identical experiences.
I'm going to have to second this one also. I had a pretty tough little schedule during high school also. Some semesters it wasn't entirely caused by class difficulty but rather by extracurricular activities (of which I had a lot), but either way, I rarely ever had time for things like sleep or even sitting down and enjoying a meal. My first semester I started off with 15 hours in an attempt to choose a minor and after the 2nd or 3rd week decided that I liked one option better than the other, so I dropped a class, putting me back down at 12 hours. Anyway, on paper it looked like a pretty easy schedule from then out, but my GPA doesn't show for it. The following semester I took 17 hours and joined another organization in addition to the couple I was already in, and even though my free time drastically went down, I did a lot better that semester than the first. Granted I've taken only 12 hours every semester since then (although I did take 9 hours my freshman summer which is a lot when you consider that I'd just come off 17) and I've been fine, but I think I did need that one really hard semester to get myself completely focused. With only 12 hours you're going to have more free time than you even know what to do with, and I'm just not sure if thats the best idea for someone coming off of a really busy/tough high school schedule. I'm not against taking more hours now, but I have my reasons for sticking to 12 (1 being that I don't want to graduate any earlier than I am). I also am very actively involved with those organizations I joined freshman year. So maybe extra classes is not the only way to go, but I will suggest that you join at least a couple good organizations (perhaps one related to your major) and get involved in those instead of staying at home and sleeping/playing XBox all day.

But even with that mentality, I still get good grades, well at least in my standards. I don't know how good you did but probably better than me.

For me, college was "easier" than high school- and not because I went the easy route or anything like that. I have a Bachelor's degree in mathematics and am almost half way through my Master's, which I am getting part-time. I just found the schedule so much better if you are a self-motivated person. So much time is wasted in high school classes that college courses don't waste. I found plenty of time to go to school, work part time, and have a life. I did give up my most time-consuming activity from high school, even though someone at my university begged me to be involved in it, but I was ready to move onto the next phase of my life.
As for taking advanced courses in high school- the 29 hours I got credit for saved alot of time and $$$$. I had no problem at all with taking the courses that came next- actually discovering that in many ways I was still ahead. For example, my high school only offered Calculus AB- so when I took the AP test and scored a 5, I got credit for ONE semester of calculus (4 hours). When I went into second semester calculus, I discovered that I had already covered at least half of that semester's material in high school, as well. I got the only "A" in the class. :)

Ah well, I'll buy one next year.
I'm getting ready to start my first semester in college. Majoring in English Writing and Rhetoric with a pre-law course track. Eventually I want to define this even more, and add either an emphasis of presentational speaking to my major, or get a minor in English. My classes (15 hours):
-Intro to Linguistics
-Ideas and Innovations
-Presentational Speaking
-Printed Page and Silver Screen- Honors (the honors program was entirely on accident, but I decided to go with it)
-Rhetoric and Comp
Fortunately, my course track only requires three hours of Math, which basically means taking College Algebra, three hours of Spanish (I tested out of the other half through a combination of lucky guessing and convincing dialogue), six hours of Science, and zero history or other GE courses. Any more in any one of these three areas and I would waive the white flag right now.
I cannot wait until the 28th.

That's one thing that sucks about the first day of school, not being used to going to sleep so damn early.
The past couple of years, I haven't even tried to go to sleep until at least 1 the night before school. I might just try to get drunk this year the night before school so I can pass out, it's not like it matters anyway, the first day of school is always bullshit.

I can't wait to go back to college. Then I'll finally be able to sleep like I WANT to. M-W-F classes start at 10:30, end at 3:30. T-Th classes START at 2:30, end at 6:30.

The fact that NorCal always uses the word ninja and that's a term that white boys use because they are scared to say nigga in front of black people is further proof of NorCal's wigger status.

i have no idead what this thread is about... but the thread makes me want to say my schedule...
MWF: 11-4
TTR: 9:30 - 10:45
sucks because i have 3 classes on MWF and only 1 on TTR... so it's gonna be hard to get motivated to get up @ 9:30 and drive 15 miles for an hour and 15 minutes ... bad scheduling on my part... but it's too late to change now.

Firstly, I'd just like to say I would be in the Same boat as Orion if I could go back to Highschool with what I know now.
I remember the last day of my senior year, I was telling myself "finally, a break!"
I came to miss those Summers off.....
besides that, Id just like to say
Finally, School starts!!
I was getting tired of watching for kids roaming the streets at noon. Do you have any idea how hard it is to drive while juggling two 24oz beers during my job lunch break?
