In no particular order, here are the classes I should have next year. Take note, I'm going into 10th grade. :P
Honors Humanities English 2
AP World History (apparently, this is the hardest class I'll ever take.)
Pre-Calculus (College Prep T_T) (I won't be with my classmates anymore, just with the fucking dumbasses.)
Spanish 5C
Chemistry 1H (The teacher even recommended I took it, even though I have a C in her class. She rocks++. I wish she taught chemistry next year. I'll end up missing how leniant she was with me and my citizenship grade :(.)
Weight Training (woo!)
Backup choices:
1. Technical Fundamentals (easy A+)
2. Digital Arts
3. Auto Tech (bleh)
I'm trying to get pre-calc/spanish bumped into honors, and I need to get my final math grade at a B or better (not hard, we're on an easy chapter, plus I'll ace finals) in order to qualify. All I need is a teacher recommendation or a parent to come in and request honors spanish, but I can barely tolerate the stupid shit we do in 3C, 5H would just be more stupid shit.
But having all honors classes would motivate the fuck out of me.
If my schedule turns out like this though, I'll be able to balance the 7 hours a week of just AP World History homework with the extremely small shitty amount of homework in the college prep classes.
Apparently, an A in weight training is benching 120% of your body weight. Sounds simple enough! :P
Discuss!
If you don't get any C's, you'll be on the track to a good college.
Take note: If I do get AP World History, I'll have so much homework a night I won't be around as often as I am. Oh well! :P
Ok Im taking
Pre-Calc H
Honors english (:-o)
AP European history
Chemistry H
Spanish 5H
Choir H :-D (you know thats sexy)
How the hell do you get Spanish 5 ?!!?
Honors 12#??? English
Honors History 101 (European, eww)
Government 111?
Geology ###
Pride 172 (Marching band)
Yay college!
It goes like this, Spanis 1C for first semister then 2c for 2nd, then 3c 4c, so next year im ttaking 5h 6h. And its cool because ill be a sophomore taking those clases
Indeed.
IIRC, spanish 1 - 4? Where the hell did spanish 5 come from :p
OK FIRST YEAR OF SPANISH = 1c 2c
SECOND YEAR= 3c-4c
THIRD- 5h-6h
ETC.
WTF? Newby's a freshman? EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
Anyways:
Advanced Computer Science
Physics
Calculus
Linear Algebra
Irish Lit
<Other English (I forget)>
Greek Civilization
Religions & Mythology
Metalsmithing
PE (all kinds of different stuff)
That's my lineup for next year. Unfortunately we have only classes, no Honors/AP or anything, but my school is college level 9th grade+ anyways so it doesn't matter.
Sophomore you mean?
I'm gonna be a freshmen in the fall (again)! yay NMSU
Not sure since I plan on getting out of IB. We have an extra class added on (giving us 8) so I'm gonna retake some stuff probably. Something along the lines of:
World History 1 (I never took it because I took AP Government in ninth grade, this is a ninth grade course I'm required to take if I get out of IB)
Math Analysis
British Literature
Chemistry (Just for 1st semester, I want to bring my grade up.)
Latin 1 (maybe German)
French (either 3 if I fail this year (probably) or 4)
If I stay in IB (I probably won't be allowed to anyway, due to my French grade) I'd have:
Math Analysis
IB History of the Americas
IB Thoery of Knowledge
IB Philosophy
IB British Literature
AP Biology
Chemistry (1st semester)
Maybe some other things
*shrug*
#1) Is IB like honors?
#2) WTF is math analysis?
#3) WTF is Theory of Knowledge?
#4) Does history of the Americas include ALL of the Americas (i.e. North America)? And if so, why does it include the US, do they not have a American history class?
I seriously recommend not taking Latin.

IB is more advanced than AP, I assume you know what AP is.
Math Analysis is Pre-Calculus with limits
Theory of Knowledge is sorta like philosophy, it's an IB only class.
Yes. The non-IB equivilant is AP US History, but that's only US.
IB = Acronym for WHAT?!
International Baccalaureate (I think I spelled it right!)
next year I'll be taking:
Honors English 9 (2)
Honors Geometry (2)
Honors Alg 2 (2)
Honors Social Studies (2)
Honors Science (2)
Spanish 2 (2)
Spanish 3 (2)
Physical Education (1)
Electronics Intro (1)
The number to the right is the number of credits terms.
@Newby: Weight Training is hard as hell, unless they make you just lift and not condition.
@R.a.B.B.i.T: My school doesn't have Comp Science. :'(
Since AP classes can count towards college, do IB classes count EVENMOE towards college credits?

No. I think they get waited .06 instead of .03 like with AP classes. The main benefit is that it really really prepares you for college-style work, and it's considered to be the hardest curriculum by colleges. However, it hurts most peoples GPAs and only a few people got into their first choice colleges. Most of the kids are going to local colleges that aren't as good as what they should be going to, though most likely they got free rides. It's pretty much understood that William and Mary doesn't turn down Granby IB kids, but this year..none got in. The seniors are like the slackest IB class ever though for us, though. One kid got into Stanford/MIT/Princeton, etc. but most people really aren't going anywhere respectable. There's some good perks to being in IB, like being able to skip class and not get in trouble...permission to do this or that, slack senior year, etc. but really in the long run I don't see it paying off for me, or most kids.
80% of senior year at my school is spent wandering around Philly (usually to the Gallery or Liberty Place) looking for something to do. There's an awesome stand in the Gallery with one of them controller-console things you plugin to a TV. I went there on a free last week and played Super Mario Bros. for 2 hours :D (I had no class, so it was perfectly legitimate too, so HAH!) The stand is right outside a Borders, Gamestop, and Sam Goody too!
English
Computer Science
Computer Engineering
Business
Pre-Calc
History
Science (Was going to take physics but nobody was interested in the course so they cancelled it this year)
Civics & some other thing (Half a credit each)
Sounds like an interesting homework filled year.
English Computation 1/2
Calculus
Physics
Computer Graphics/Art History
Tech Aide
Survival Skills(eww.)
[something else I can't remember right now].
Calculus, Physics and Comp 1/2 are going to SUCK. Calculus is taught by my favorite teacher though. :)
I have to take US History over the summer (ewww). I might try to take my CCNA exam sometime over the summer too.
@everyone taking computer classes:
I can't... I hate you all. Each and every one of you. My school offers only THESE [100% easy excluding Comp Graphics] computer classes:
Intro to web design
Advanced Web Design
PC Comp Troubleshooting & Repair (Taking this 10th grade, woots for A+ certification so people don't scream "omgwtf who taught you computers you moron" when I'm fixing their computers, which I already do now for my friends)
Comp Graphics
Advanced Computer graphics
So to everyone taking Computer Science and Computer Programming...
[raises digital middle finger]
Advanced web design?
All we have is basic. :(
All there is is basic.
Maybe in basic they teach your html then in advanced they teach you xhtml? I agree with Rabbit, two years of web design courses is pretty...uh interesting.
Wow....that would be massively retarded, and similar to this:
Quote from: Web Design 1 TeacherOkay, remember to make all tags and members upper-case, always.
Quote from: Web Design 2 Teacher.......................make them lower-case.
2nd teacher is correct! According to the XHTML w3c standards.
That's seriously the only difference I've found so far.
And that you have to open and close tags in the reverse order of what you put them in as, even though the browser doesn't care.
That's not the point. It's too much work for browsers to do to determine where the tags
should be. If the HTML were XHTML, it wouldn't have to decide. :)
You forgot to mention that XHTML requires ALL tags to be closed, even if the regular HTML equivilant doesn't have a closing tag (ie <br> becomes <br />, <img ...> becomes <img ... />).
Actually, the thing says this:
[Advanced Web Design]
Learn javascript (oooh, pheer), more HTML
Ooh, leet.
That's really sad. That literally is the most basic web design there is. :(
My classes:
OS/2 (Unix)
Networking 3
Windows Project Management
Network Security
Hardware troubleshooting (need it to finish my A+)
Network OS 1
thats all i can remember right now.
That's cause you're in college.
This year my most fun class was Electronics, mostly because I got to build and program a ROBOT!!! (OMG it was leet with a one, two threes, and a seven. I wish I could take it again :'(
I'm doing sofware engineering when I'm in college. :)

The techhead club I'm in (netbytes) sponsors shit like that, LAN parties, hardware crap, they had a robot building competition a couple weeks ago, afterwards they wreaked hell on each other (one of those battle bot type things)
I'd make a walking bomb. ^_^

Where'd you get ahold of my schematic?
I gave them to him. They are, however, the old ones you spilled the guacamole on and threw out, so I didn't get a good price for them :\

Damn! I knew I should have put that through my matter->energy converter! :(
But, you forgot about my transmobudiscombobulatorbithermalradiator that will let me change it back from energy to matter, and then remove said guacamole stain!
mwahahahahaha.

It scans the air for the energy particles that were made from converting the blueprint to energy. That being said, I should reverse time with timereversopneumatichomosymphonius time capsule and relive 1940, being Hitler's right-man on the left-side, I will stab him. Thus saving Quik's family, I will be the new king of Israel where I will launch a nuke at Massachusetts to prevent John kerry from ever running for president.
lol
energy particles, huh? :\

I live like 2 miles from MIT. Pretty cool place.
Minnesota Institute of Technology exists as well. #2 in the country, I thinks.

It's not a very close second if I've never heard of it. :\
I've heard of lots of tech-related schools too, mind you. :)
Well, it's not called "MIT." I just thrwe in the M for fun.

UC Berkley and University of Illinois are good tech schools. :p

I've heard of both of those, though I'm not going to go to either of them. If I'm going to pay out of state tuition, it's gotta be a REALLY good school. :)
Didn't they create a BSD at Berkley?
Found it in the sexy book iago gave me.
QuoteThe Berkeley campus of the University of California emerged early as the single most important academic hot-spot in Unix development. Unix research had begun there in 1974, and was given a substantial impetus when Ken Thompson taught at the University during a 1975-76 sabbatical. The first BSD release had been in 1977 from a lab run by a then-unknown grad student named Bill Joy. By 1980 Berkeley was the hub of a sub-network of universities actively contributing to their variant of Unix. Ideas and code from Berkeley Unix (including the vi(1) editor) were feeding back from Berkeley to Bell Labs.
I feel like going to Berkeley just because they're such *nix advocates. :(

I will be entering College as a Sophmore. gg?
I did last year (sophomore year) as well. Dual enrollment isn't that big a deal (at least from what I've experienced).
I've met freshmen in Calculus III.

If I'd have been schooled in India for math, I'd be done with Calculus next year because India is very math-advanced compared to America. I should have been finishing Geometry/Algebra II this year, though. Algebra I = WAY TOO EASY and slow.

These weren't Indans. The one I'm thinking of is from Colorado Springs, CO. He has to take it online.
