Okay, so this is how it's going down. I'm going to be a Senior in High School next year, only I hate my school. Yeah, yeah, that's a typical teenager response. I mean c'mon we all hated or hate our high schools, right? Well I don't give a s**t. People are just bugging me, and the people are the most immature little brats that I've ever laid eyes on. So I took it upon myself to sign up for dual enrollment. My principal gave me permission to take all but 1 credit at any college that offers dual enrollment. I got everything signed, my application passed, and now they tell me that dual enrolled students can only take a maximum of 7 credit hours. ********' great! To graduate with my class I need 5 more credits, each college class I take is only worth 1/2 a credit at High School. Basically, I can only take two classes a semester, which gives me 3 credits and I'm short 2. So I was thinking I could suck it up and take AP Biology at my school, yeah great, that leaves me with another credit. Let me make this painfully clear. I live in the middle of nowhere, my High School has the crappiest selection of classes on the face of the earth, and there's no more classes that I really want to or need to take. So, I'm thinking about signing up for Machine Tech II. It's a 2 credit class, but it's two hours. My first college class starts at 9:00 and at my High School my second hour ends at 9:30. So I'm thinking that because the teacher is so desperate to have me in the class, maybe he won't mind letting me go 1/2 hour early. I know that might be pushing my luck, but I think that's what I'm going to try.
