zero period - Religion (mandatory at my school super easy and idiotic class) 1 - AP Lit and Comp (I have A's in all prior honors English classes) 2 - AP Lang and Comp 3 - Calc BC (Solid A in Honors Pre-Calc) 4 - AP Gov/Econ (Each is a semester, I know a lot about government and economics from personal interest) 5 - AP Latin - Vergil (Latin is the easiest class for me, every year over 100%) 6 - AP Chem (Got an A+ in reg chem, A+ in Bio) My schedule is split so I go to zero period every day and three other classes every other day so mon - 0123 tues - 0456 et cetera My current cumulative GPA is 4.25 or so unweighted it is a 4.00 GPA this year is 4.71 I am taking three APs this year - Euro (95%), Enviro Sci(101%), and World His(108%) the rest of my classes are honors I want to take AP Studio Art - Drawing independently I looked at the Collegeboard example portfolios and I feel I am good enough for a 6 The reason my schedule looks like this is because I want to graduate in three instead of four years Thoughts :) Oh thanks, I forgot to add: I tutor ESL kids at the public library every week My extra curricular activities: Young Artist Symphony, cello (8 yrs.), piano (5 yrs.), kendo
Answer: LOL! Wtf-over 100% in AP classes...wow, my school is definetely different: none of my teachers even give out extra credit. Since we share a decent amount of classes I'll offer my thoughts: I'm a junior and right now I'm taking AP Language (decently tough- have a 91.2-but not a heavy workload at all) and am taking AP Lit next year (heard it's easier than AP Lang, but again idk how diff than your school). Taking Calc BC nest year and I also got an A in HPC but I have to say (@ least at my school) there is a heavy disparity of difficulty between HPC and BC...most of the ppl who got A's in my class are taking Calc AB. Also taking AP Gov/Econ next year...heard it's a tough class but if you got solid A's in your previous AP history classes you should probably be fine (not a heavy workload, esp for the econ part). Ap Latin-know nothing about. AP Chem is legitly hard: I'm not great at science and I put in a decent amount of effort and managed to scrape out an A-idk, you seem to be better at science than me). So overall, I like your schedula because you're taking a lot of AP classes that may be hard but don;t have a huge work load. And sick cum GPA! Is this through frosh, soph, and junior? Mine's a 4.23 ;) (But I should get a 4.67 this semester to bring it up)

2. Do you think people who tries to study martial arts are d0uchb4gs?
I've seen commented and actually know some... What is your thoughts? Seems to me like they only study it for the hate not the opposite... Im not saying all, coz i met some which are really out going and nice too. Just curious to know. :) Yes that is kind of my point Fool Mgee, they seem to harm people instead of protecting them.... Guys, we dont need more hate in this world that is my point...
Answer: i am a practicing budo student. and most of the students and sensai's (teachers) are humble and state they only learn and or teach for self protection. if you know or see people using martial arts as a reason to intimidate or initiate confrentations are not students.

3. Women: Does it matter to you if your boyfriend can fight?
Why or why not? It matters to me that not only can he fight, but he has the courage to when necessary. Im not saying he has to be super tough or some martial arts expert, just rough enough to protect himself and me, if necessary. Also guys do you care if your girlfriend can fight or not?
Answer: Its not a dealbreaker or anything, but I dont like scary girls who are too pacifist because im the type to fight if necessary and I dont need her telling me violence is not the answer and crap like that, I need her to have my back. That being said, I dont like girls who are all loud and talk tough but dont back it up either. I dont like punks. I would prefer to have a woman whos brave enough to fight (only when necessary) , she cant be going around trying to fight everyone though. edit- @PEANUT GALLERY- you keep saying you have a CCW, what are you going to shoot everyone who wants to pick a fight? if so, you will be going to jail buddy

5. Do you need to go to college to be a wildlife photographer?
I am an amateur photographer, and I would like to try and get more "professional". I graduated high school last year, and am just currently working at Michaels Arts and Crafts store; and am not going to college or anything...So I am curious do I need to sign up for photography classes or can I swing it without?
Answer: I went to College for photography and I really feel that after that experience I could of learned anything that I wanted through the internet. Anything you want is on the net these days. College is expensive!! I'm not saying it's a bad thing and I love where I'm at right now with the skills that I learned. But now that I look back on it I could of really Googled any techniques I wanted to learn. But that comes down to will power. Would I have spent the same amount of time researching as I did when I was in school? Probably not. The good thing about college is that its compressed and your working with experts. But all you have to do is find some experienced photographer friends and learn off each other. And don't forget to google....ALL TECHNIQUES are online. The school of GOOGLE is in full effect these days. I do most of my learning straight off the internet. All books and info is published on the ONLINE Library. The good thing about College though is that it does pressure you to work harder then you normally would at your own pace. So if you want some pressure and spend some money to make sure you get the work done...College is for you...If you want to take things at your own pace maybe just try online information and tutorials. You can't teach creativity and thats what it comes down too. Many many great artists have never gone to school and yet they are still great.
