-English 11AT
-US History AP
-Pre-Calc AT
-Physics AT
-Phys Ed./Physics Lab
-Computer Graphics
-Free Period, but I might become a student aid.

Oh, and I have my SATs this year or something, plus two NY State Regent Exams, and two advanced placement tests. Fun. :evil:

I know what classes I'm taking due to a major goof two weeks after school was out and summer school began. I won't know what order I'll have them in until tomorrow when I will register.
*EDIT* Got my classes, just updating them in their order.
Classes:
Period 1 (7:00am class) : Open
Period 2 (the 8:00am class) : Geometry B(second out of third semester in this Geometry course)
Period 3 : Modern Civ A (first semester out of the two)
Period 4 : Am Sign Lng II A (first semester out of the two)
Period 5 : H English 10A (H = Honors, 10 = 10th grade, first semester of the two)
Period 6 : Team Sports A (basically PE - I pick which sport when I get there)
Period 7 : AP Biology A (AP = Advance Placement @_@, first semester our of the two)

Of course I wanted to take an extra class, but they wouldn't let me because the school is still overcrowded even though we just got two more high schools to open up down here. >< I wanted to take Drama too. :cry:

Though this year I will end up taking the $80 AP Bio test in May, my Exit Exam in the spring, but God knows I'm just trying to prepare myself for the first week. No doubt will I be given an exam, an essay, and a project for When Christ and His Saints Slept in English. And I'll have to ask some of my friends how AP Bio was the first week.

Well, all those numbers next to the courses mean nothing to me, and none of you will probably know what the numbers next to my courses mean, but whatever. I don't have the schedule yet, but these are the classes I'll be taking next year (only a few of them are chosen, most of them are required):

-English 5 (English is learned as a 2nd language over here, so for me it's easy as heck. 5 is the highest level.)
-Mathematics 5 (God I hate Trigonometry... Geometry and Calculus are so easy, and Algebra's okay, but Trigo... >_<)
-Literature 2 (Why oh why is this a required class...)
-Bible 2 (It's not a religious thing - it works more like a history class.)
-History 2 (The Nazis and the Holocaust this year, woo-hoo!)
-P.E. Swimming (We have a choice between ball games, aerobics, athletics, swimming or self-defense. While self-defense really interested me, I took swimming eventually.)
Computer Science 5 (Programming and stuff... pretty simple. I'm starting this course this year.)
-Mass Media
-Film-making
-Film Class
(All three of those are part of a Communications course (level 5)... and I can't wait!)

I'll be starting the 11th grade this year. Doesn't look like it'll be too hard.

I finished school last year, but I studied sociology, geography and business.

It was rubbish. I now have a decent job and my qualifications didn't really help me get it. But things work differently over here.

Try hard and you'll do well.

Honestly, I won't know my schedule until I get it... oO;

I don't have to take physics since I took three science courses already. I dropped Spanish (boring) and choir and signed up for a bunch of computer classes. I'm also taking pre-cal and speech.

Whoops! Almost forgot about US history. ^^;;

I start the 16th.

Actually, I have almost completed my educational years, though one never ceases to learn.

Achilles: It helps when both years you have the Best. Teacher. EVAR.

My first year we had this weird 30-odd blonde woman who pretty much stopped teaching us midway through the year because we had thought that Latin would get axed after that year (It wasn't axed altogether, they just got rid of Latin I so no one else could take Latin). From there, we just watched movies every day and played games and talked. Fun. And she quit at the end of the year to move back to Oklahoma or wherever she said she was going.

Second year the school brought in a retired man to teach us, and he let us do whatever we wanted (play on the computer, listen to music, talk, etc.) as long as we did our work (which wasn't too much).

And both years I passed easily. :)
