I will certainly look into getting the drivers ed class changed to out-of-school. Believe me, I wouldn't take it if my parents didn't force it. Also, I've never really 'struggled' in math. I made a 99 on the algebra I final last year, and an A(can't remember the number) in the class. This year...

@Christcorp , I was planning on taking three semesters of a language, and I will find out if that is possible as soon as I can meet with my guidance counselor. It'd be really cool if I could take an independent study class, and then fill my regular block in with a foreign language. When my dad...

When you say 4 semesters of a foreign language, do you mean taking 4 courses? I.E., French I-IV

Let me clear the confusion up, completely.. I take 4 classes(blocks) all day, for the fall semester. Then, I take 4 other classes(blocks) in the spring semester, also all day.

There are four blocks in one day. I am planning on doubling a language next year, and then taking the third year of it, my senior year.

Update: This year has started off great! I am loving my classes, and doing quite well in all of them. I'd like to inform the people who replied to this thread prior, that both math classes were somehow fit into my schedule(I will include my full schedule at the end of my post). This means...

Is it too early for me(rising sophomore) to speak with an ALO?

I've asked my GC about any possible extra classes available before, and she said there were none. I asked about summer classes that would count for a credit, after school, etc.. I'll be sure to look into these other programs though!

Well, I meant why would a school allow you to take 2 math classes in a year, but hesitate on allowing 2 foreign languages?

Will do. One question, what's the difference in taking two math classes, versus two languages?

Point taken. I'll try to find that last class out soon.

I just don't know why they wouldn't let me see it.. I was concerned to know if they had fixed it, and all I got was a 'yes'. Maybe I have trust issues, but this isn't the place for that... As for calling the school, I could. But that makes me question what is the difference in telling the...

I wasn't trying to sound like I'm shutting out taking 3 years of a language, if that's what it sounded like.. I'm all for it, if I can get it changed.That eighth class may have been a foreign language.. Again, they were so scared of letting me see MY schedule, sorry.. Does anyone know a way of...

Are you asking how I view the USAFA? I do see it as one of the most prestigious academies, and I recognize that it is extremely difficult to get into. I've read about the requirements, but wasn't aware that taking 3 foreign languages was what people did. I assume if things work out right, I'd be...

Thanks for the information, I'll be sure to ask about it asap.

I could try to get my schedule changed, but I think it's pretty much set in stone. When making my schedule, I didn't think that 3 years of a foreign language would be of importance, just 2 years. Also, I am not allowed to drop drivers ed, because of my parents. Dropping a band class could be an...

I tried Boy Scouts when I was younger, and maybe it was just my group, but the only thing we did was crossword puzzles. After maybe a month or two, I quit. Is the Civil Air Patrol a good thing, since I wasn't planning on doing rotc or boy scouts?

Marching band is in the fall, and concert bannd is in the spring. I did consider dropping concert band, but that would make me lose seniority, and could possibly give others who take both classes a step up. In other words, yes, it is about how well you can conduct and lead the band, but it is...

Actually, when my brother enlisted into the navy, they managed to get an extra year out of him.. So, I know what you mean about the recruiter. All I wanted was to talk, if he/she had information. Also don't know if this is relevant, but I think I'm taking a trip to the academy to visit next...

While I am not certain about the drum major deal, I have a fairly decent chance. I could go through and tell you all the details, but I'll sum it up. Basically, I do not foresee any current members of the band trying out. That leaves the freshman for assistant DM, and me. The current assistant...
