So far for my senior year, I'm taking AP Calculus, AP Physics, and AP English. I love the first two, and am deathly terrified of the third (because of the rumors surrounding the teacher). I chose not to take AP Euro because I already took an AP history class (APUSH) and I did really well in it. In college, I'm gonna be an engineer/pilot, and as such I don't really need a whole heckuva lot of history, and I've got enough AP credit as is to pretty much be done with history my freshman year and probably won't have to take any in college. In addition, due to my obsession with space, my interests in history mainly lie with U.S. history; any secondary history interest comes from Russia (the other space country), and Russian space history is not a big part of European history. I also feel that three APs is enough for me because two was quite a load last year, and with flying, AP work, and regular work, plus all my extracurriculars, I'm gonna be pretty busy. To get to my point, I'm not taking AP Euro for the abovementioned reasons. However, my good friend Chris notes that the seniors (now freshman in college) say that AP Euro is easy/the teacher is nice, that I'm good at history, the summer assignment is easy, I'll get weighted credit, and that I'll avoid all the cp history crap that I don't want to put up with. :::SIGH::: Then he also mentions the possibility of AP Psych.

To finish a long story........any thoughts? Leave 'em on the tag board please.
