I am never doing calculus. Mark my words. I am never doing calculus.
I've already done three years of high school Math and three years of high school Science, but whatever. What math and science courses do you suggest I take?
Well, I hate to tell you, but if you want any sort of reputable degree in computer science degree you're going to have to take calculus. Universities typically require chemistry and/or physics, so I'd suggest you gain some familiarity with the topics on the AP Chem and AP Physics (not necessarily Physics C, but at my undergrad a 5 on Physics C would get you out of 2 science classes... )
There's no real reason to do any science classes other than that unless you think you could be interested in doing something in a medical field, then maybe biology could help you? There's a lot of crossover with CS and med/bio these days. I was just at a talk that mentioned machine learning in clinical trials, so the opportunities are endless. Of course, if you really want to understand ML you should have a pretty strong mathematical background
But then again, maybe you just want an associates and then be a web dev. I don't particularly know your goals.
Oh dear. So far in high school I've taken Biology, Biotechnology, and Earth Science. And for Math, all I've really taken is Algebra and Geometry. The Math course I'm doing this year is Financial Literacy, and it supposedly counts.
I want to get into a good college and get a college degree, probably in Computer Science. But like, chemistry, physics, and calculus seem unfathomable to me. None of those things even have anything to do with CS, or anything I'm interested in about CS.

Well, all advanced courses require some work to understand. You can't necessarily expect to "get" everything right off the bat. Some of the stuff I do took years for me to really understand halfway decently. What do you see yourself doing with CS?
Alive??? They're not doing they're job properly; students are supposed to be forced into a trance-like state of living death
Well, the past week has felt like that. Just had 2 big homeworks and an exam due in a 15 hour period, and before that I had a weekend-long course on Python... and before that a final presentation for a half-semester course. But now things are reasonable... for now.
Oof. Thankfully I have yet to be subjected to the living-death trance, but I dare say it will come sooner or later.

Goodbye LMBs...
