This is exciting.
I've already gone and done the whole thing where I post my schedule on Facebook and see who I have classes with ahead of time, so I already know that I won't be without friends in my classes. >.<
I am pretty... satisfied with my schedule, other than eighth period.
I chose Songwriting because my interest in music piqued a lot by the end of freshman year. I had just finished off the school year, and I decided that I wanted to be a musician.
Now... I'm not so sure.
So either way, it appears that I'm stuck with Songwriting. I'm really afraid of that class. In it, we write songs and then we have to perform them in front of everyone else. There are two people who teach that class. One of them is the same person who taught my Beginner Electric Guitar class last year, who is one of my favorite teachers ever. The other is the same person who taught my Music Production class last year, who is one of the worst teachers that I've ever dealt with. The class and my feelings towards it are pretty much going to be decided by which teacher I get, and it doesn't say which teacher I got on my schedule.
Photo Imaging is a throwaway class. Originally, I was going to take Creative Writing, but then I learned from friends who had already taken the class that the teacher who teaches that course (there's only one teacher for it) is one of the biggest goosedowns in the school and should be avoided at all costs. Seems like a dodged bullet.
So now there's two options I have for that slot. I can either take Photo Imaging (which is a simple class on photography and Photoshop) and get the credit for it, or I can replace it with a half-year study hall. The study hall won't earn me any credits, but it might help me deal with the burden of work that I'll be getting between Biology, Pre-Calc, Humanities, and the rest of my classes. This is where I would like advice from some people on Sals. Should I take the Photo Imaging class, or take a study hall?
As for my academic classes... boy are they daunting. I have heard many nightmarish things regarding Biology, and I doubt that Pre-Calculus is much better. I'm not afraid of the Humanities classes, though. Humanities English 9 and History were my favorite classes last year, and they cater to my academic... style? much better than their Honors counterparts.
It's shaping up to be a pretty exciting school year. Luckily, I still have a couple weeks of safe haven. School doesn't start until September sixth, so I can still squander my life away until then.
Let's hope that the year goes well!
