My days are pretty busy. It's usually classes or homework until 5pm, then usually at least one event in the evening, and going out on the weekends.

Apologetics? What manner of class is that?

one definition
"The term apologetics comes from the Greek apologia, which means "defense" or "answer." Apologetics is the task of defending a particular idea or belief system and answering its critics. The origin of the concept of apologetics lies in the beginnings of Christianity. Between the second and fourth century, a number of Christian teachers wrote defenses of Christianity against pagan critics."

basicaly making you think about why you beileve what you do and making sure that you can defend it...that the gist anyway

I'll start my senior year this monday, and I'm dead nervous...

My first "real" exams in 8 weeks :eek:

And next year I'll probably have another senior year at a higher level. I'll be a veteran then:D :cool:

I started my junior year of high school three weeks ago. At my school we have block scheduling, with Even days and Odd days, and class starts at 7:55AM.
On odd days (my easier day), I go to first period first (AP Psychology), then AP Latin, then AP American History, followed by Physics Honors.
On even days, I have AP Psychology (again, but it's half as long as the other classes), AP English Language, Dual-Enrollment Pre-calculus, and AP Chemistry.

Next year I'm going to take the second year of AP Latin, AP Government/Economics Honors, AP English Literature, AP Calculus, AP Physics, AP Biology, and AP Statistics.

And I forgot to say in my last post that my school day ends at 2:06 PM. But I do have 3-4 hours of homework per night, which is pretty much what I expected.

Whoa...the format's changed...funky.
Ha, I haven't even started school yet because a bunch of high schoolers work at a nearby theme park so to let them work school doesn't start 'til labor day.

if you have all of that and only 3 to 4 hours of home work life is truly not fair most nights, once school gets with it in the next month iam going to have at the least 5 hours worth a night.:headbang:
but i think its cool that you are takeing most ap classes, i would like to be but when you attend a high school that only has 17 kids in it and most of them dont want to take ap classes it makes it really hard to get even one or two ap classes:( :(

Sometimes it's more than 3-4 hours. It's usually about 5 to 7 hours each on Saturday and Sunday. But the year's just starting, and I'll probably have more later. Plus, I don't have every class every day, so I just do all that I can on the weekends, which is basically what cuts the time down to 3-4 hours.
17 kids? My school has about 2700 in a suburban area, which, coupled with the fact that it's the only "A" school in the county, is probably why we have so many AP courses to choose from. It does get crowded, though.

not having class every day is helpful, some times i think most of my home work is just busy work, its really rather pointless. yep 17 kids, its a small privet school in a smallish town, the senior class has 2girls(my friend and i) and 5 boys. i would love to beable to take most if not all ap classes but i cant, so i do what i can with what i have.

That's good. My graduating class currently consists of 494 people, and I'm currently tied for first in the class. Unfortunately, though, my county doesn't believe in recognizing a valedictorian...I don't know why.

Busy work is definitely no fun. That may be why I have less homework right now. They have to prepare us for the AP exams, so there's no time for it.
