I am actually looking forward to doing IB... I mean, I have no life so I might as well study and all. And I will get into a good college (re:FAR AWAY FROM HERE)

Like I said, IB is...well...not fun...but a wonderful and rewarding experience. And it looks FABULOUS when applying for college. (I love that because of my HL credits, I get to graduate a semester earlier than my peers because I've gotten first year uni credit!)

NICE. I want to graduate early. And life is already not fun, why not make it productive?

The thing about it, though, is that I really, really want to take a pyschology course but I can't because I need to take HL history and pysch is SL.

so you won't have room? cant you take psyc as an elective?

[insomniak]

Is there ROOM for an elective with IB? I need three HL courses, and playing to my strenghts means art, english and history. No pysch.

"Highschoolers should be banned from reading aloud in class. The motony just about murdered me. Even in honors it's bad. "

I just had the exact same experience with the same play! Worst of all, we just read in a circle so the guys had to play girls saying things like.
"the wond, it is cold"
"I die, i die"
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THE PAIN

Hmm...I'm pretty sure there's a way you can do 4 HL. I had a friend who took Art, English, History and Theatre HL, as well as her required SL courses...

Strange, i was just talking about this on the last page. It must be the lunar eclipse. What happened Ebonic?

No, Tiff, my problem is that if I take pysch, like I want, I'll only have two HL courses and I need three.

No fetishes.

oh i see, you mean psyc isn't an HL course?

then umm...art is right? So you take HL Engl, His and Art. Or am I confused?

It's my 401st Post YAY!!! Okay, it looks shabby compared to others, but I'm proud of the time I've spent procrastinating here!

If I take the HL history course, I can meet my quota that I need, but then I can't take pysch because that's SL.

Posted: 10/27/04 at 11:23pm

okay wait. but you're doing diploma, right?

[insomniak]

Posted: 10/27/04 at 11:24pm

Right. I need to take HL history to get it, but I would rather have the SL course because it's more interesting.

[Type_A_Tiff]

Posted: 10/27/04 at 11:32pm

oh i see. no, take hl. it's better. really. i think you learn everything in sl and then more (esp latin america).

[insomniak]

Posted: 10/27/04 at 11:36pm

I don't know a thing about pyschology and I've always wanted to take it. We've been doing world history since... sixth grade?

Posted: 10/27/04 at 11:38pm

okay wait. i'm just trying to think of what my HL/SL layout was like.

HL - Eng, Hist, Theatre
SL - Math, Bio, French

Do you only need 3 of each?

[insomniak]

Posted: 10/27/04 at 11:44pm

You need three HL to get the diploma. But I suck at math and science so I can't substitue them in for history.

[Type_A_Tiff]

Posted: 10/27/04 at 11:46pm

i would definitely not recommend an HL science. i had really smart friends who did HL Chemistry and nearly died.

do you guys not have theatre?

[insomniak]

Posted: 10/27/04 at 11:47pm

I think that qualifies as art, which I'm already doing. And I can't act anyway; I'm a techie.

[Type_A_Tiff]

Posted: 10/27/04 at 11:52pm

theatre arts is actually less about acting than it is about the theories and histories. i just happened to get first year acting credits from it. it's very interesting, and part of your final project can be able any aspect of a show, and most people choose techie aspects.
