There's homeroom tomorrow...

SunnyDaysDontLie · February 2011

I am really excited for homeroom tomorrow. Not only because my homeroom teacher was my foundations of algebra teacher, and one of my favorite teachers at that school, but because of the classes I get to sign up for next year. I get to take all of the awesome classes that are considered too "adult" for freshmen/sophomores, not to mention the prerequisites. Anyhow, I will probably be taking: Psychology [maybe AP psych] Allied health 1 Foods 2 Honors English III Honors US history Physics and Chemistry [going to double up on science next year] And a math class. Probably statistics or calculus or something algebra-like that I can handle. I'm in algebra 2 now, because I doubled up this year. Senior year I will probably take another math class to give me one more extra class. I'll probably take another science, like anatomy and physiology, if it's offered at my school. Allied health I'm not looking forward to. I do not want to be a nurse. Nursing is too... restricted for my liking. There really isn't any fun in it, other than the fact that you get to work with patients in a hospital. Not to mention we only have one teacher that teaches things like health team relations and allied health and med science, and I cannot stand her. However, if I go through with allied health 1 and get accepted into allied health 2, then I will get my license to practice as a pre-nurse, I believe, and I will be making maybe 10-15 dollars an hour, granted I can get a job at the one hospital downtown, and it will help me pay for some of my books through college, I suppose. Psychology I have been excited for. As in, I've tried to sign up for it two years in a row because I forgot the prerequisites. I've been waiting for this class since 7th grade. x) Foods 2 is going to be amazing. I took foods 1, and besides my geometry teacher from last semester and my foundations teacher from freshman year, I love this teacher. She's just a fun, easy teacher, and if you do what she says, you get free food. :] Honors English III I'm not so sure about. I've proven to myself that for the first time since 5th grade, I can take honors courses and keep up with them. English, however, was a pain in the rear end last semester. I guess it was my teacher, and she gave four papers that had to be due on the same day at one point. x.x US history will be easy, even if it is honors. Other than the paper, which sucks. I can't write a paper to save my life. Well, in English, it saved my grade. xD Physics and chemistry I will double up on. I was told to not take honors chemistry by Sea Oats, and, due to the fact that she showed me some of her homework, I will not be taking an honors chemistry class. Physics is a maybe, I will look into it and see how much math is involved in an honors physics class. I am better at algebra than I am at geometry. Granted, it took me all of 5th grade, middle school, and freshman year to figure it out and make decent grades, I am even better at it this year. I really wanted my geometry teacher for algebra 2, because I am used to her teaching style, and she definitely has a better sense of humor than my current algebra 2 teacher. She's one of those teachers that you hate her when you have her, but as soon as you get a different math teacher, you're begging her to put you into one of her classes. It's either her or my foundations teacher that I will have for that math class, granted the other teachers don't teach whatever math I will be taking next year. Overall, for once, when I planned my classes [this is the first year I've planned my classes and didn't let the school choose for me], I had a better sense of security, and I love my classes this year :] I'm definitely having a better year this year than I did for freshman year. Anyone have any class tips for me? What I should and shouldn't take? What math should I take? What is psychology like? Thanks! -Kaytee

Everyone at my school thought Physics was hard but I had like a 98 in that class. Same with Chemistry, I wind up reteaching half the kids after class usually. If youre good at science it shouldnt be a problem. Anatomy is also very interesting and Id recommend it, but it takes a lot of studying because theres so much you have to know. Id also recommend Biology or Biology 2(not sure if you all do either one of those) I dont know about psych, my teachers wanted me to take AP psych but I didnt even want to take the regular one so I didnt sign up for it xD

I heard it's hard, and chemistry is a lot of math, which I suck at. Big time. If I need help, I'm coming to you xD Anatomy is always interesting. I like the little diagrams and everything they have on the Internet x] I'm in Biology, and there is only one biology. Psych I'm just excited for. I don't know why. I'll probably get into the class and it won't be what I thought it would be, but I just want to take it. o_o It just. Sounds interesting. And I have to take several psych classes throughout college, anyways.

You'll be a junior, yea? Take Advanced Functions and Modeling for math if they offer it. It's pretty much the math you took in 7th grade. Easiest class I've ever taken. As for chem and physics. Don't take honors, which I see you aren't. And keep in mind that both chem and physics both highly involve math, which I know you're not a fan of. If you like biology, I'd say consider taking an AP biology course instead of physics. English III was easy, for us anyway. If the curriculum is the same, all you'll do is read a few books, and if you have the grad project (dunno if you do or not) you'll write a paper for that. Psychology at our school is a joke, so you should do fine in that, especially if it's not an AP. I think you'll enjoy Allied Health. At our school Allied Health II is an intern program you have to interview for, which I got into this year:) So I get to go to the hospital in a month. If that's what you like, I know I enjoy it. A&P is haaard. I'd be cautious. Talk to people that have taken it, because the teacher that teaches it at our school sucks at it and he shouldn't be teaching that class. But what exactly is foods? o.o I don't have to sign up for classes this year, cause I'm done.

I could just cry I'm so ready to be out of high school. Get all your credits in this year so you can slack off next year. My senior schedule has been a joke. Last semester: Honors Eng IV Honors Discrete Math (like pre-algebra) Graphic Design I Marketing And this semester: Photography I Ceramics I Beginning Acoustic Guitar Medical Science II (essentially Allied Health) I so should have graduated early. xD

Howdy, Stranger!

There's homeroom tomorrow...
