[QUOTE=Taepodong-2;44050486]You all probably remember me as a total social retard and some whiny cunt going like "wah wah why dont girls like me" just a couple months ago. Well that changes because today I asked a girl if she wanted to go for coffee and she said yes.[/QUOTE]

Well we set a time to go for coffee. Now what do I do when we actually do go for coffee?

Exigent, take my advice - Don't take all those high level courses. Keep one AP class and one honors class. You'll have less stress, less work, and you'll better be able to put effort into all your classes.

[Gnomerz]

From the workload that the teachers had told me about, the only one I feel I'll have to put a bit more effort into is the AP Physics, due to it being demanding. All of the other teachers explained the classes don't have much of a workload.

[IlluminatiRex]

Trust me, they say that and then you get bogged down.

I'd know because it's the crisis I'm in the middle of right now.

[Deadman123]

I'm taking 3 AP classes next year. AP USH, AP Stats, and AP english.

I'm gonna die arent I.

[zenby]

My top choice for ditching here would be that AP English. AP English classes suck big time and usually have a lotta work (in my experience, at least)

[IlluminatiRex]

Yeah they do. This year (my senior year). I took AP European History, AP Senior English, AP Physics, Honors Greek 4, Pre-Calc and Stats, and Modern History for full year classes. I also took Classical Mythology, but that was a stress free half a year college class. And its over. Now during my free period I volunteer at my school's museum.

Dropped AP Physics about 2 months in because it was too much, I'm in regular physics now. Even then I still have too much fucking work.

[Gnomerz]

Maybe I'll drop the English courses then. It's probably least important to an IT college. I think I'll stick with Honors USHII though, because I love history, and I think I could handle that. AP Physics is a must for me, due to the fact I'd like to be in AP Physics II senior year.

[editline]26th February 2014[/editline]

So maybe:

English III
Honors US History II
Pre-Calc
AP Physics I
AP Computer Science III
Honors Cyber Security
Intro Web Desing

[IlluminatiRex]

Kk good luck

[Gnomerz]

Also, the AP Computer Science III and Honors Cyber Security are the only classes available in that area, so I can't drop those, due to the fact I'm in my schools IT academy.

My merge :(

Thanks, and you too.

It just depends on the type of person, I took 1-4-4 ap classes 10th,11th,12th grade respectively but I did fine in all of them and procrastinated so god damn much. I slept late doing hw because I started it too late, but 1-3 hours of homework isn't that much if you spread it across the day. If you're aiming to be competitive, then take a lot of ap's, but there is nothing wrong with taking regular classes.

[Gnomerz]

Well my main problem is, a lot of the colleges I'd like to go to have an average GPA a whole point higher than the one I have now.

[redBadger]

[QUOTE=HighdefGE;44053287]I know it was kind of asshole-ish of me not to call back but my point was she's done the same thing several times, which led me to believe she lost interest.. until she calls me again days later. What I'll do is actually call her later today in between classes and make an excuse.

[editline]26th February 2014[/editline]

My other problem lies here. I don't know whether I should be the one initiating for us to meet up again. I've tried before twice over a course of two weeks; the first time was actually genuine, second time not sure. Third time she invited me to go skiing but said she was unsure if she would go or not and would get back to me. She never did.

And that's why I'm debating with myself if should even continue talking to her, knowing there's a chance she'll make yet another excuse. The way I want to go about it is have [i]her invite me[/i] somewhere because I know if she does, then she's still interested. Any of you guys have better ideas?[/QUOTE]

I want to know what happens next!

[Mr. Bleak]

Honestly, unless the degree you're going for requires the course in college, don't take an AP class for it. I took AP Statistics in high school, and since it's not required for my Psych degree there is absolutely no point to having a credit for it, and all I gained from taking it was a tougher workload.

That was the only AP class I decided to take, and while AP English would've been a good idea, I don't feel any worse for not taking more. I maintained a 4.3 with honors classes in high school, and I have a 4.0 in college so it's not like I'm stupid or lazy, just practical. Good luck getting your grades up and all that.

Make sure you're taking the equivalent of AP physics B (non calculus based physics). C has calculus as a prerequisite, and is also considered one of the hardest, if not the hardest AP class. If you try to take it without calculus, you're going to have a tough time.

[Gnomerz]

I'm assuming that's what I'm taking, but I'll make sure just in case. My Guidance Counselor knows my grade, and classes, so I doubt she'd let me get myself into a situation like that.

Physics B was split into 1 and 2, so you're fine.

[Rhenae]

[QUOTE=redBadger;44060573]AP classes weigh higher than regular classes therefore with AP classes you can get a 4.5 GPA I believe. At least that's how it worked when I was in high school[/QUOTE]

They were never weighted in my school, and also were significantly harder so usually it ended up pulling down your GPA from what it could be.

[QUOTE=Exigent;44060519]I don't know if this counts as a social question, more scholarly than anything.

Basically, I'm a sophomore in High School. I've recently found out I have an 80% GPA or 2.7 depending on what you prefer. I'm wondering how high I could possibly bring that up within the next 2 and a quarter years in high school?

Freshman year, I did 100% shit in school. I was failing biology, and algebra, and was just doing horrible. This year I've been maintaining high 70s, and low to mid 80s grades. I've been slowly getting them up more and more.

Also, I don't know if this matters, but my schedule for next year is:

AP Physics I
AP English III
Honors US History II
Pre-calculus
AP Computer Science III
Honors Cyber security
Intro to Web Design I

Do you think the AP/Honors classes will aid in bringing up my GPA if I give it my all? I'm talking going all out studying, getting every piece of homework done, and all of that jazz.

I'm aiming to get my GPA to a 90, or 3.7. If this is possible, it'd would make my life. I'm pissed I hadn't taken school seriously earlier.[/QUOTE]

Correct me if i'm wrong but Sohpmore is grade 10 right? So this is your plan for 11?
Theres no way in hell you can cram in that many AP courses. AP courses require you to do both 11 and 12 of the course first, a few of those wont necessarily have a pre-requisite but check out what you will need to get into them too. I know at least for my school it is like that and it would have been impossible to get that many ap courses.

[Gnomerz]

no, that's the definitely the schedule i have. me and the guidance counselor talked it our for about a good hour before she finalized things.

[ROFLBURGER]

Honors Cyber Security

Dude that's badass

[WastedJamacan]

I took 3 AP courses Junior year while taking 3 other advanced courses at a private school, it's not necessarily all that bad.

And you'd have to discuss how grades are weighted at your school. At mine, you got .02 added to your GPA for every semester you took an advanced class. Some schools grade on a 5.0 scale for advanced classes. It all depends.

Also, in my experience colleges care less about your GPA and more about ACT/SAT

Should be mandatory these days

[Gnomerz]

yeah, my school offers different academies (IT, Engineering, Drama, etc.) and it's just a great academy, and the teachers are awesome. especially the cyber security teacher

[Heigou]

Dayum, wish I had an education that was worth half an ass too. The Quebec school system is fucking worthless in every aspects and now I'm doing a 2 years technical in IT that I'm about to finish, I'm hoping it'll land me something decent at least, maybe once I get the money I'll be able to go to university when I'm like 40 years old.

[Tin Can™]

Went to a dorm party at my college for the second time last night, everyone knows everyone and everyone is drunk off their ass and just having an awesome time.

Through the party a couple of overly hot women were getting all horny and physical with me, two I was just introduced to and then one of my classmates.

I felt mighty as hell throughout that, and it really boosts my confidence levels 300 times knowing that even how I'm 115kgs with a nice face I actually felt desired/wanted/you name it. :v:

Ok I really need advice because I'm clueless of what I'm supposed to do. Short story: girl I like at work spends a lot of time with me at work on her breaks and stuff. Was going to ask her out today but out of the blue the seniors at work told me that going for her wasn't a good idea since she's... scared of relationships or something. She distances herself, like she did with me about 2 months back. Could be a sign she likes me because it was unwarranted.

Now I might be closing in on my last day at work (only got tomorrow and monday left as far as I'm concerned) and I'm absolutely clueless of what I'm supposed to do. Really, I've been sitting all day thinking about it and I can't come up with anything. Ask her out? Confront her of my feelings? Get over her (fucking easy..)? Help!!

Just ask her out. Even if she is 'scared of relationships' I highly doubt she'll suddenly hate you or something because you asked her out.

I've not really been a fan of internet dating websites, but it's not like a go out and I work all week so...

Bit the bullet and signed up to Plenty of Fish.

Found a really nice girl, same age and same city. Meeting up with her in two weeks for a coffee and such when she finishes Uni.

My first 'date'. pro
