Alright...
3 options for next year...give me your feedback, please. My schedule so far:
1) Journalism
2) AP Spanish
3) Open
4) Lunch
5) P.E.
6) AP Physics C
7) AP English Literature
8) AP Calculus BC
Option A) Keep all that, and use the open to tutor in the Writing Center/hang with Nicole/get an extended lunch/have a 'safety net' for homework I forgot/could not do the night before. The con? It's an open. With the colleges I'm shooting for (Caltech, MIT, Yale, Northwestern, etc.), having an open doesn't seem like a good idea
Option B) Take AP Statistics 6th hour, and take AP Physics as independent study 3rd hour. The con? AP Physics is supposedly the hardest AP class offered at EG, and while I'd have Mr. Frakes doing the independent study and technically have the better teacher for the course...is it worth it?
Option C) Wait for Laura to drop AP Stats 3rd, and take it 3rd. That way, there's no independent study, so I'll be more in-tune to what's going on in all my classes. However, I lose the little flexibility of having an independent study.
Thoughts? And please, don't say "you'll be up until 3AM each night doing homework." But if you do have a realistic idea of how much work I'll be doing on a daily basis, please share. That's my biggest concern; I can't foresee the workload before I make a decision, and by the time I do, it's too late.
