I just gotta brag about my high school schedule.

[raildogg]

Are we bragging about the schedule or the classes themselves?

One advice, try not to lose your language. I took AP French in high school, went to Paris that year, and survived easily with people.

Fast forward 4 years later. Forgot all my french, started taking Italian while abroad in Italy, and remembered bits and pieces of it. Went to Paris and although it took me a few days, basic French came back to me but it wasn't at the level of fluency as I had in high school.

So sad. And now I forgot my Italian too

Non mi piace la lingua italiana

Took 2 years, and for 2 years the italian teacher called me "steve", she KNEW my name was Newsham, not steve, fuck her.

"Cool story, bro" in broken Japanese lol

Solo puoi usare italiano in italia.

Non molto utile.

Also I picked up Italian so easily since I had taken four years of French before so I was always bored in class. I got a bad grade for participation even though I blew away all my tests. Fuck her too.

I had a year of french before I started italian.

I passed the final exam with a 76% (not great but meh), and she force failed me with an E (or an F depending what part of the country you're in)

So I moved on to italian thinking maybe french just wasn't for me, well after 2 years of italian I moved on to chinese, which I enjoy but it is difficult to learn on your own, so I haven't been doing as much with it lately because of work and other obligations.

Maybe some day I will look back into trying to learn a language...

Ho iniziato a studiare cinese come era più globale. (it's been awhile, not sure if that's 100% but you probably get the message)

Si, ho capito. Voglio studiare espagnole perche che sono molto persone che posso parlare con e praticare qui a Los Angeles e in California.

I was thinking about Mandarin too because of that fact but the thought of learning symbols for text sounds hard without taking a structured class.

Lots of AP classes and honors classes?? No adjunct professors among your high school teachers so that you could simply take college classes? We ditched the AP system long ago - adjunct professors to at least 3 different universities. Very rare for credits not to transfer, though I think MIT didn't take a couple of them.

For some classes we can take them at NCSU or wake tech.

If you finish calc 1 and 2, you take 3, obviously. Our school hires a teacher fro, NCSU to come teach calc 3 or the students go to ncsu for the class.

If you're in a program called MBSA, medical bio something something, for your senior year you have to take a pharmacy class at wake tech

Why the hell are you in AP stat if you want to major in industrial design? Sure, some of your local universities have competitive applications, but STRONGLY consider stepping up your college ambitions if you're taking that many AP courses.

 

[Thebobo]

In the 70s we had two alternative periods in my senior year. I took

Kite Flying
Appreaction for the Blues
Gym (skipped)
English (Skipped)
Science (hot teacher had to go)
Shop (went there once and got a C-)
English (skipped)

AP system going on strong here. There's something called middle college in my district but it'sa sseparate school for those who want to get ahead with like 200 students.

I graduated Highschool with a 1.4 and make more money than all but one of my friends. Highschool doesn't matter.

This. Mine was in the mid 2's - High School is a joke. I never did homework. Instead, I focused on the tasks that obtained my career relative to IT. Hell, I make more than pretty much every college grad that I became friends with too.

Looking back, it couldn't have hurt - I probably should have focused more - but if you know where you are going and how to get there it can be done. I guess my point simply being: Congrats OP, you're 5% on your way to successful career!

I got sexually assaulted in high school by a girl.

Quite the oxymoron in the title.

Haha. Our school is full of asian and theyre super competative. Every school has "senior classes". Our schools is AP english 4, AP Stat, AP bio, and then a bunch of honors and AP electives that are known to be easy (aka honors weight lifting, honors history through film, etc). That's how we roll My GPA is rather low, last time I checked I'm around 3.4 unweighted and 4.5 (probably higher) weighted. I'm ranked like 150(I think). That's no good for any high level school, I don't even have a chance of getting into UNC Chapel Hill (not that I want to). Times have changed from when you went to school.

Pshhh. Everyone at my high school is ahead by a long shot. We all took geometry or algebra 2 over the summer and shit like that

very interesting. the weighting system has definitely changed. Apparently it's possible to add more than 1 point for honors classes. I had a similar unweight GPA, and was ranked somewhere around the top 30% in my high school, and still got into every state university I applied to (in engineering.)

Maybe things have changed a lot, but to me it's 1 of 2 things:
1) your school isn't as competitive as you think. State universities will know the top schools in state, and have um... special allowance for lower GPAs due to the competitiveness of the schools.
2) your grades are good enough to get in (assuming you're in the 98-99 percentile nationally on your standardized exams (which you are in math.)) but you don't realize it.

Drafting 2 (honors) with a new teacher but apparently a middle aged black man who is laid back.

Why does it matter that he's black? RACIST!!!!!

Just wanted to post to say I care about your life.... wait no I don't.
