11th grade registration

Only slightly over half way through tenth grade, and they make me register for eleventh. It's frusterating, and stressful, because I still have so many classes I need to take, and so little time. Last year, it wasn't as big of a deal becuase I still had three years. The year before, graduation seemed distant and far off, as I was still in eigth grade. Now suddenly everything seems a lot sooner, a lot closer. I still won't be able to take all the science I want to. Oh well...

FOUR YEAR SCHEDULE:
Freshman year (over):
1. Honors Earth Science
2. Gym
3. Honors math 2
4. Honors English 1
5. Spanish 2
6. Concert Orchestra
7. World cultures

Sophomore year:
1. Calculus
2. Health/gym
3. Honors English 2
4. Chamber Orchestra
5. Honors biology 1
6. Concert Orchestra
7. Music theory

Junior year: (subject to change)
1. Honors English 3
2. Carrol College Calculus
3. Biology 2
4. Chemistry 1
5. American history (AP???)
6. Chamber Orchestra
7. Debate/Family and consumer science 2

Senior year: (subject to change)
1. AP English
2. AP American Government
3. some math at Carroll (engineering calculus?)
4. physics
5. creative writing/computer science
6. Chamber Orchestra
7. (if math doesn't take two hours) Science seminar

Well there you go. Several things are being debated right now... like whether to take AP American History, which is, I hear, one of the hardest classes in the school, and whether to take orchestra next year. I am kicking myself for taking three music classes this year, it was a stupid decision made because laziness seemed enticing. But now, next year, junior year, which everyone says is suicide year anyway, is going to be even harder. Wow I'm the smart one.

I wish we didn't have to take a vocational, home ec next year is definitely NOT going to be lovely. I'm not looking forward to it. When I cook, I tend to light things on fire and set smoke alarms off and melt things etc., and I hate sewing so much from having to do it for years that anything I do is incredibly sloppy. But I really want to take debate first semester next year, and it was the only second semester vocational that wasn't like advanced welding or something. I really hope my debate coach student teaches though. If she doesn't, I won't take debate, because the teacher hates me and I hate the teacher.
College seemed really far off a while ago, but it's getting closer and closer. I'm taking the ACT's in April. That should be interesting.
