I dislike my school. They make these really dumb changes all the time that are meant to better the situation but never do. Firstly, they altered our schedule last year that affected the schedule this year that almost no one favours. They even made a poll to get our general liking or disliking of the schedule. The results were almost entirely negative & against it, yet they changed it anyways. They made a new one again this year, but I hold no hopes for it. 

Anyways, this rant is because of our classes for next year. My brother got his high school class registration a while back, so I decided I'd skim the book so I knew what I could potentially sign up for myself. Firstly, they completely jumbled up the entire art department. There are now really awkward classes on this flow chart thing that basically says anything that I did in Art I & Art II (HALF OF THE YEARS IN THIS SCHOOL) was basically pointless & that I need to now start at what would be a sophomore class because I don't have the proper credentials. Not only that, but you have to choose specific topics in which you'd like to better yourself in. Problem being that I like drawing, painting, and would be interested in digital arts (seeing that is what most of the stuff on this account is); however, now drawing is a separate class, painting is a separate class, and so is digital arts. I can understand digital arts being separate, I suppose, but they didn't make any class in between so you could do both. I'd basically need to fill two different 50 minute periods with the classes, meaning I'd have no study hall. Great. If I had to choose one, I think I'd prefer going through the drawing classes purely because I can most likely find more information on digital art techniques and such via YouTube & Google in general. Likewise, I've always preferred drawing over painting anyways. 
Luckily, they haven't altered anything in the means of yearbook, which I am 99.99% sure that I am joining (FLI AGAIN! YES!); but this can change if no one joins with me. I'm sure I'd enjoy the club/class 200x better if :iconprussianwaffles: &/or :iconrussianreptiles: join, both of which told me they plan to or interested.
The other thing they changed that bugs me is in the science department. Freshman year I had honors bio, and this year I am taking honors chem. My plan, which we have been told time and time again since 8th grade to make, was to do H.Bio > H.Chem > H.Physics > AP.Bio. It'd give me all the fundamental things from all of the science classes & I could then spend my senior year with more biology again, my favourite of the three; however, as you may have guessed, they changed this specially for us. Next year, there will not be an honors physics class. For whatever goddamn stupid reason. Instead, there will be only Physics or AP Physics. Quite a big jump, if you ask me. I'm very torn as to what I'm going to do about that now, so I'm resulting to asking what my other friends will be doing / considering. 

*exasperated sigh* The system they had before was working fine... If you go to my school & managed to push through that rant, maybe you could write what you're going to do / think of the new class thing in the comments so I could get some ideas. I'm genuinely not sure what I will be doing for math, science, art, and whether or not I'll have a study hall.
