Hello again, Blogger.

So for the past few days, I have begun to just feel so tired for some reason. I slept at at 9:15 one day, and I woke up feeling pretty refreshed. That afternoon, all I wanted to do was to nap. And nap. And nap. Our classes have slowed down, and I have been getting progressively less and less homework. Ironically, my non-AP classes have issued more and more homework and projects while my AP classes have started to lull as AP exams draw near...

Random tangent time.

I was on the bus on the way home today, when this sophomore (who was sitting in the very last seat, might I add. Rude. It's common knowledge that juniors/the-single-senior-who-doesn't-have-a-car get the last few rows) was discussing her schedule with her friend. She was telling her how everyone was taking on a large workload junior year so their senior year would be lighter. I silently agreed with this thought process. This girl then proceeded to tell her friend how she didn't agree with this type of schedule and that she would rather take on a more difficult senior year.

Excuse me. What.

Why would you EVER want a tough senior schedule? That literally doesn't make any sense to me. I can't even partially agree with her or even qualify that statement. First of all, have you ever heard of this little thing called senioritis? Yeah. That. Symptoms usually appear either at the start of 2nd semester or the moment one commits to a college. That brings me to my next point. First semester senior year will be filled with college researching, campus visits, college apps, scholarship apps, essays, and your senior year schedule. I personally wouldn't want to handle all of that AND a heavy workload.

The girl's reasons for this though process?
SAT studying
SAT prep classes

As far as I'm concerned, that's pretty much the same thing. And I don't want to speak prematurely, but I think it would be safe to say that college anything (prep, apps, research etc) trumps the SAT time-wise. And  let's be candid here. This might sound extremely stereotypical, but LET'S BE HONEST HERE. Her idea of a "heavy workload" probably consists of an AP. Possibly two. Are you kidding me? I have sophomore friends who are taking two AP's currently and who will be taking around four APs next year along with GT Calc.

Just saying.
