How much work is this for the next school year?

[AgaBoogaBoo]

First, I'm looking for an estimate of how much time per day of studying I will have...

Here is my list of courses for next year in High School as a sophomore:

Computer Science AP A
Algebra II Honors
Chemistry Honors - Very hard course I hear
English
Spanish III
Gym
Ceramics
SRT - Like a Study hall for the most part, but some convos are held during that time

We are on a block schedule and so we have 4 of the 8 classes each day, and it switches off everyday. Here is last years schedule in which I got a 3.5 average for the year and a 3.8 for the second semester GPA for comparison:

Honors Geometry
English
Regular Biology - Not the Honors...
Spanish II
Gym/Health - Gym half the year, health half the year - Blowoff
World History - lots of reading
SRT - like a study hall to do work or get help from teachers
Intro to Business - Blowoff and ended as like the top 1 or 2 scorers in the class and led the stock market simulation almost everyday in terms of value of stocks

So next year, Gym will obviously be a blowoff, so will Ceramics but that can take time, SRT as usual, and Comp. Sci. AP is what I've heard so far but this year it is changing to java from C. I'm really hoping I don't get Spanish III, Honors Chemistry, and Honors Algebra II on the same day for block scheduling... that would be a PITA, if it is, I may consider dropping Honors chemistry and going for the regular chemistry since earth Space science is supposed to be the easiest of the three but chemistry will look better on a college application...

Algebra 2 is cake.. I took it in 8th grade.
Honors chem isn't too hard, varies by teacher.. usually not a lot of homework you can have for it though.
English.. yeah.
Spanish 3, same old sh!t.. just more spanish, all the time.
Gym.. don't drop the soap.
Ceramics.. are you going to that new high school in new york for all gays?
SRT.. not a class.

What the heck, you guys get CS as a class in HS?

We never got that....

A) No one can tell you the work load of your school's curriculum other than someone from your school.
B) No one cares.
C) If you took the time to write such a post, I'm sure you're capable of figuring out your own workload.
D) (edit) - Evidentally someone cares, but nonetheless I feel better for having used caustic remarks.

I took 2 years of CS in high school. That's where I learned pascal and c++.

A) Ok, thanks
B) STFU
C) I agree, I am capable, but I like to get opinions, so again, STFU

hehe, j/k with the STFU's :beer:

Was it hard, easy, how was it? I'm pretty sure that must be all in class stuff because not everyone has a computer...

It's high school. It's ridicuously easy. It doesn't get hard until your sophomore year of college.

 

[Gunslinger08]

Yeah, you can't have programming homework. Might have some gay stuff where you have to write about CS theories and other crap like that.

neither does mine...

Freshman year is such a joke...you don't do much of anything, sophomore year you think it sucks, but you realize it was cake compared to junior year (at least when you have an insane ap us history teacher), and senior year is just trying to take the minimum amount of classes to not do much work.

It's hard to determine the workload since I didn't go to the same school..

From my experience at my high school, Algebra II was cake. Honors Chem was easier than regular chem (from what I've heard from regular chem students). Regular english is cake (AP isn't). I hated Spanish. Gym/PE is easy. Ceramics, never took, but considered an easy class. Didn't have an AP CS class here either.

Dude, it's high school. It doesn't matter.
