This summer will mark the end of my boring intro classes. hehe.

* Sidoh gasps!
Visual Basic ... .NET?! LoRd, you'd better drop out. I don't know if you can handle it.
That's good. I hate requirements. :(
Eric:
mhm. Prerequisites are evil especially when you know more than your teacher does.
Krazed:
Hmm. Senior year.
Taking like 5 classes in my school, taking auto mechanics at a tech school, and then taking 4 classes in night school. (I'll have 12 credits at the end of this year, I need to get about 12 more to graduate next year, in one year.

If not, then your school is encouraging too many people to join AP classes, a clear indication that tey are not up to par with the level that should be expected of a college course.
..
Do you understand why I am telling you that it's not a good idea to take so many AP classes? Or even advanced classes that are easy?

There are no non-AP/non-CP classes for calculus, statistics, 4th year Spanish, English/History (Senior year there are honors classes! hooray!), biology (1st year college prep/remedial or 2nd year AP), chemistry I am in honors but the AP class = 2nd year, physics is honors I think but requires the completion of calculus, and Art History is AP or college prep. And if there aren't enough kids for the AP Art History, everyone gets put in the college prep one.
I know why you're telling me not to take all these AP classes, but you have to realize that the AP classes are really just slightly-above-honors level. :/
Towelie -- I may drop biology, but I'd rather take only 5 classes my senior year.

AP has a government mandated ciriculum. Honors classes are organized by a local school board (or in most cases, the person who's teaching the class). I'm in "Honors Physics," which I personally feel is a lot more thorough than AP Physics (from what I've heard of the class, anyway). We're using college books (which isn't all that impressive, but it's better than books that contain nothing but Newtonian Physics) that are really awesome.
