My parents just told me that I have to take the stupid Biology class again because they think I cheated in it two years ago.. And that class was the dumbest class ever! It was so incredibly easy. But on the bright side I will not have to do any of the homework.. I still have it all done from last year. lol (because I actually did do it)
It's going to suck being a Senior in a class full of Sophomores... I'll never hear the end of it.. Especially when Victor finds out on Friday... oy vey..

And because of this I am now taking more classes my senior year then I am taking now.. My mom is making me take more math next year even though I have 4 credits more than I need to graduate..
And she's making me take an art class that I really don't want to take. (the class is teaching more of the painting kinda of art and not drawing/sketching, which is what I love) and of course I have absolutely no say in this. Because I can't control any of my own life.. She has to be in control of me.
Heck I asked if I could take a different art class, but she said I had to take that one.. even though it's not the kind of art I liked.. (I explained to her that I don't like that kind and that the other class had the kind that I really liked but she didn't care)

Are you sure this isn't a joke for the biology class? If you did good in it, then leave it at that unless your parents think you can do much better but the reasoning makes no sense.

The only reason I can think of is that by taking more classes, it makes your transcript longer but it's only better if the marks are good, otherwise it works against you. If they're mediocre then it may help. However, one should focus on their senior year because if that year goes down the shitter, even if your previous years were brilliant, it's going to smear your transcript something fierce.

No, this isn't a joke..

Oy vay.. even so, with the art class... she won't let me take to one that I want to take..
and part of the reason I like to draw is that I'm not forced to do it... I think that once I'm being forced to draw all the time I'm not going to enjoy it as much as I do now..

I told my science teacher that my mom wanted me to take Honors Chemistry and he said that it's what you want not what your parents want. so I don't think it's fair that they are making you choose classes that you don't want to take
