Ah, and I am surprised your settling for your 'boring' goal. You seem to be the kind of person that would pursue what they love intensely. Like really really intensely.

Ah, well, I can't sing for my life... and I discovered I had no talent for music. As for writing (there is nothing wrong with that,mannequin...

I *hate* journalism (as I discovered this year after taking Journalism)... so that threw the chance of a journalism career out.

And law, because I *love* the law. I love debating... and I love research and everything about it.

I plan on going into family law... not like corp or anything.

I do want to write on the side though... about sociology or something.


And also, yeah... I definitely can't get into Princeton with grades and SAT scores alone. They take two from my school every year, and about 5 people apply... and all have near perfect scores on the SAT and perfect 4.0 GPAs.

But, I won't be too upset if I didn't get into Princeton. It's way too close to home. I would cry buckets for U of Chicago though...

And AP classes a waste? I agree. But, honestly-- it has the credit points of an Honors class... with little work. I do agree taking the AP class is stupid because it's either you know it or you don't for the test.

However, I totally disagree that taking the AP exams are worthless. It's only worthless if you don't 4 or 5 them. And, I plan on getting a 5 on ALL the exams I am taking, which include: World History, US History, European History, Biology, U.S. Government & Politics, Comp Government & Politics, English Literature, English Language, Psychology, Statistics, and Calculus BC.

If I can cut down on courses... I'll do it. It will save me money in the end.


pablita, amen on sleeping! I actually tried that out last night... and i feel great.

oh AP classes are good. but you haven't mentioned IB so i guess you don't do it, and IB is the waste of time.

I'm in High School right now. I go to a school of 500 and all it is silly drama. I prefer to meet other people my age on myspace because most people at my school suck. But then there are the people who you do love to see everyday, and there are the subjects you sometimes like to learn about regardless if you'll ever use it, and there is the satisfaction of saying you know what I finished it.
I'm a junior btw.

Nah, I don't do that.

Shredded Valentines- I totally feel you on that.
