My Schedule

Today is the first day of the spring semester, my last as a high school student (sob). In my opinion, this semester's schedule is more demanding than in the fall, but we'll see. It should be fun. This is what I have for the second semester:

Monday - Friday
07:48-07:53 Homeroom
07:57-09:17 (1) Independent Study Physics II
09:21-10:41 (2) Independent Study AP Calculus BC
10:45-11:13 Tutorial Period
11:17-11:57 (3A) Concert Band
11:59-12:29 (3B) Lunch
12:31-13:11 (3C) Concert Choir
13:15-14:35 (4) AP Government & Politics: United States

Classes run through 08 June. The third quarter ends on 03 April.

Probably the most difficult part of this schedule for me will be the back-to-back independent studies in the morning. My schedule was such a mess back in August that this was the only way we could get it to work. For Physics II, the actual class meets during module 3, so on days when they do group labs, I'll have to skip out of band and choir to do them (don't worry, I've already run this by the directors). As for AP Calculus BC, the highest math class they offer at my school is really AP Calculus AB, which I took last year. So my independent study is during module 2, which is when the AB class meets anyways. It's going to be an interesting semester.

In the fall, I mentioned having 1.85 new teachers (see the post for an explanation if you really want one). Well, this semester I have none. I had the Physics II and AP Calculus BC teachers last spring for Physics I and AP Calculus AB, respectively (although technically since Physics II has a student teacher, you could consider her new). The band and choir are still under the same directors as before. And strangely enough, AP Government is going to be taught by my seventh grade World Cultures teacher! My brother had him last year, and it doesn't seem like he's changed much, but we'll see this afternoon.

Meanwhile, I'm gearing up for District Chorus next week. I'll have more posts later.
