Honestly speaking, I rather go to school than going to work. To point out the least, students get vacations after a 12 week semester AND can skip class whenever they want (I aint saying you should =P)

Try skip work or ask for a vacation over 15 days... chances are you prolly dun need to go back to work for a while =\
Really, to tell you the truth, i really wouldn't know. Yet, i always hear my dad ranting on wishing that he could go back to school and not have to go to work. I guess i will know about that eventually. Nobody really knows this, but im afraid of getting old. I wanna be young forever.

School isn't that bad, its just some of the stuff that happened has sucked. Like me with pre-cal, i know i could at least have a B in that class, but im making dumb mistakes like not reading the directions or putting a wrong answer when i had the right one. Then again today, I had the right answers in a psychology test today, but i didnt remember anything so i changed my answer even though i had it right so i got a C. I really need to pay more attention this year because i think this is the make or break year for me.

I think AP may count as college credits. I'm not sure though. I've never had an AP or Honors class in my life.

If you pass the AP exam you can get like 3-6 college credits depending on your score, advance classes are just harder for no reason.

AP classes, if you pass the AP test at the end of the course gives you the applicable college credits if your university has a similar class offered. E.G. I took AP Computer Science in my senior year because I needed math credits and even though I hate it, programming is like 2nd nature to me. I passed the test at the end and when I started my freshmen year I already had 3 credits at my university in COMP 112.

Honors classes give you more towards your GPA. It's how some kids can get over a 4.0 GPA.

Yeah, its the same with honors classes. If you take a class that is ahead, you get like an extra point towards your GPA. Like i have a 3.9 GPA unweighted and a 4.6 weighted or something like that. And i think if you pass an AP class you get 2 extra points towards your GPA. Its somewhat confusing.

Oh, high school.

At 21 I'm starting to realize how important education is. While some aspects of school definitely suck (the Calvin-Benson cycle can **** right off, thanks organic chemistry) in the long run it's so worth it. An educated populace is the greatest thing a country can have.

I'm in a pre-pharmacy program in college. Gotta start studying for that PCAT soon. Then try to get into pharmacy school...ah!!

Makes me want to tear my hair out!

But yeah, to everyone who's in high school: enjoy it. Stay out late, drink, smoke, and party while you can.

A in Spanish B in AP Psychology A in English C in Chemistry A in Keyboard A in Beginning Weightraining (If you know me you would know why i'm happy) and finally a B in Pre-Cal Overall, im ok, my worst report card ever, but taking honors chemistry a year early and pre-cal two years early, im ok with it. Gots to do better next time.
