I'm done with school, my next term schedule includes:
- study for GRE - study for LSAT (grr) - find a job (hopefully) - apply to PhD/JD/MA programs - get short stories and/or poems and/or a research paper published
I'd like to have something more concrete to do that isn't totally based on my own motivation, I.E, "oh crap I have a test next week and X amount of material to go through" rather than "well, I should probably write something and send off manuscripts to places at some point soon" ... it's so much harder this way GRRRRRRRRRR!

I think the best part about brag blogs is seeing people like you two whine about it. OneOther was so incensed he actually had to post twice to complain! The horror! A high school kid with an ego! It's a good thing we have such experienced, worldly people here to advise our young friend of the vagaries of his unbelievable teenage beliefs.
In fact, I believe OneOther graduated from high school LAST YEAR. He is already a mature, cynical human being with no time for the starry eyes of youth. Life ain't fair, OP, and life is pain, and these motherfuckers are here to make sure you fuckin know that, kid. Don't worry, in a few years you too can rest your world-weary eyes in resignation on the foolishness of TL youth.

Do all parents become psychopathic freaks obsessed with their child's academic accomplishments not because they want him/her to succeed in life and be happy, but rather because they want the disillusioned self gratification that in a way they accomplished as well?
I'm asking because my main goal in life is to become a parent and a good one at that.

I took AP Calc last year and thought it was alright, but that's cuz I'm asian. So it depends on how proficient you are at math really.
I have an easy schedule for this year.
HS Senior English 4 H AP Physics Japanese Art (UC required >.>) Econ/Civics (graduation requirement XD) *insert college math course*
*edit: hmm i noticed that this is sorta a brag blog for OP so: My schedule last year: AP Lang AP US AP Calc AP Japanese AP chem physics honors
AP's really are typical fare if you're a competitive student aiming for "top" colleges. So, not really a great reason to brag imo. They're always looking for extra-curriculars, and this sorta stuff barely sets you apart from the pack.

taking 6 AP tests in the spring after I get into college isn't going to be fun
Let's see... if you're planning on going somewhere Ivy-level and all, English doesn't count. Japanese will 'count' if you plan to continue in terms of placement tests. Comp Sci probably won't count unless you do the AB test and ace it. Econ will probably count (5s). Stats/Econ's pretty easy / straightforward. Comp Sci is pretty easy too.
You should be okay, oni =p.
OP... bragging's cool. My schedule last last year (08-09) as a graduating junior: AP Bio AP US History AP English Lang AP Economics AP Calculus AB ('self-studied' BC) AP Physics B Band (Honors, but Band was inherently honors at my school) Pre-AP English Lit (needed an extra English to graduate ^^) (2nd semester, everything else full year) Gym night class (8hrs total)
AP Calc > Adv Calc AP Physics > AP French We all know AP CompSci's a joke ^^
Public school in MA, etc. Pretty lucky that my school had all these AP's considering the students there.
Don't slack off senior year if you're not going to graduate+go to college after junior year. College admissions is too iffy for that =p. Go get an internship or a job or something and be cool.

Calc's easy, don't worry.

OP: Someone once told me that success is determined by 3 factors: intelligence, hard work, and knowing people to be able to find opportunities. While I'm sure that you score pretty high in the first 2 categories, you'll definitely need to work on your social skills and awareness to be able master the 3rd. It's okay though, you're still young and have time to improve. You'll realize this in college, but just be prepared to completely re-evaluate your thought process. Also, there are a ton of great schools between University of Washington and HYPSM, so there's no need to aim for both extremes.
And here's my junior schedule because I'm really bored at work:
15-415: Database Applications 15-437: Web Application Development 15-440: Distributed Systems 70-101: Intro to Business Management
No class on Fridays ftw.

Ahh networking. As somebody who just finished their second year of college I've grown to realize how much it actually matters. It was kind of depressing for me to see one of my smartest friends struggle to get second round interviews for internships while a friend I don't find particularly bright got multiple internship offers due to networking... But that's life and you just gotta learn how to play the game I guess.
