at Berkeley High there's 6 smaller schools you choose from:
School For Social Justice and Ecology: The smallest, maybe 50 kids in each year.
Community Partnerships academy: almost as small, the only special thing is you get to do internships your Junior and Senior year instead of taking electives. Basically for kids who just want to graduate.
Communication arts and Sciences: Same as above, with focus on computers and other technology.
aha: stands for art something, same as the two above...
BIHS: Graduating gets you the International Baccalaureate
ac: academic choice, your typical High School, lots of ap classes.

Wow. I wish my HS had cool stuff like that. We had only 2 AP courses even available to us.

You'll find that the people who come from these school systems with the plethora of courses are in much better shape for college. I'd be rolling in internships if my HS had offered an AutoCAD course...

I'm a senior. I fall under the stereotypical, Senior-itis ridden girl who sleeps too little at night and too much in class, applied to 5 colleges but wont get in because she never gave her guidance counselor envelopes to mail them transcripts to in, do everything last minute and then some or dont do it at all etc. Im incredibly lazy. I go out too much. I like to make a fool out of myself in class, and I say whats on my mind all the time. I don't care about the uniform code. I'm however...a nerd. Yes, a nerd. I love computers. I play Magic: The Gathering. I read too many comics. I like deep discussions. I'm also a socialite, though. I drink on occasion. I've smoked quite a lot but stopped. Its something a lot of people on this island do. Almost everyone in this island is a pot-head unless you're in my stupid catholic all girls school, in this case if you smoke you have to keep it taboo or feel the wrath of your sheltered friends. I'm not popular, and I used to get teased a whole lot when I was freshman year. I guess those people realized I'm a whole lot cooler than they thought. Ha! I just do what I want and I love my friends and I love to participate in class if I'm not sleeping, and I like to excel when I'm not being too lazy.

Since everyone is posting their classes, here I go with my overbooked senior schedule

AP Calculus
AP Physics
AP English Literature and Composition
AP Studio Art
Model UN
Women Leaders/Lifestyles
Computer Graphics/Web

And there you have it. I'm also in like 10 clubs that I neglect.

^ And I dont have a lunch period. I just ...don't eat. And spend copious amounts of money on Sushi.

Do none of you guys have block scheduling? We only had 4 classes per semester haha.

Quite a bit of rebel, a bit of artist, some class clown and a hint of teachers pet.

Me and my friends at that time were mostly punkers with some goths and hippie friends although the stereotypes were not really that defined in south Norway ..
