Not bad.

I started off Junior terrified of how difficult it would be. I had heard a lot of awful things about if being the hardest year of high school. You suddenly have a bunch of really hard AP classes and you're an upperclassman, so no funny business. To my surprise, it really hasn't been that bad. I've had a really good year and a lot of fun. I don't know whether it really isn't as bad as everyone says or if my situation just made it better for me specifically. I didn't have Mrs. Dewees, so that was a huge workload off of my back, and AP Calculus 2 was a dream of a class. Another thing that hits most people hard is going from one or two AP classes to three or four. Most Academy kids only had AP World last year, and this year most were upped to four. Personally, I took three AP classes last year and three this year. Because of that I was probably way more acclimated to the workload this year. I have hardly stressed all year and my grades have been as good as always. It's surprising to me.
