You... haven't taken algebra 2..? Honestly, neither is that applicable to programming. I hear people complain about college chem, so the AP credit would be nice. But if you did physics c there's more college credit to be gained... but idk if you want the math in physics.
Unfortunately I have not. My school recommended an easier math course for 11th grade, and I took their recommendation.
I'll probably take AP Chemistry. Sad how my Computer Science future depends on subjects that have no practical application to CS. Although, I could see Physics being applicable to making game engines and simulations and stuff like that.
I'm sorry for all the questions, but do you recommend any other AP classes, like for English, Social Studies, and Electives? I'm thinking of taking AP Lit, AP US Government, and AP Psychology.
benboy advice: never take the easy way out
You might want to consider doing something over the summer to catch up, perhaps.
That's frankly the situation for most majors. I mean yeah, I guess if you want to make a video game engine you would need some physics and a LOT of math background.
AP courses are useful. Take as many as you can. If you have some universities in mind that you want to apply to, I'd recommend you see what AP courses /scores they accept so you can plan accordingly. Of course, it's not necessary, I went into university with no credits and I still graduated early. However, it's useful to get the elective credits out of the way, if possible.
I never once had this experience in undergrad. Am I missing out on the college experience? Actually, I think the closest I came to this was the summer I took courses at the community college. Go figure.
Like most of the professors I've had don't do that, but there's times when they either refuse to remind you or in the midst of college chaos people just totally forget my ex walked into our history class this morning, stopped dead and went " wait we have an exAM"
but yes, you absolutely are. You need to go back to school and receive the full experience.
Perplexing. I just do nerd things and avoid these situations. And I'm in grad school now, I'm certainly not going back to undergrad
Actually I think I do want to know before it keeps me up at night
Which coin do you want to buy? Do you collect everything, or just quarters? I started with pennies, but have books for everything. I'm not a huge fan of the novelty coins though, I did get a couple dollar coins back in the day, but it's not like those actually circulate. My parents picked up a few silver quarters over the years when working in retail, I have a few myself. Do you have any of those? Do you collect both mints of the national parks? Out east it's a bit difficult to find all the denver mint ones, though I have most of the philly mint coinage. I just got the coin machine in the lobby of my apartment to give me some quarters for the laundry, so I'll have to rummage through there and see if there's anything interesting. I THINK I saw a quarter I don't recognize having. Which one don't you have? Also I found a W mint quarter the other month and it was the coolest thing that had happened to me in a while.
XD I started by finding someone else's post, then I looked at the surrounding posts to see if there were any replies to it I didn't see from his post history. All I found was you mentioning coin collecting. (and the reason I was looking at this guy's post was for reference for my story )
So apparently they used to make a lot of commemorative half dollars in the early 1900s, and one design was Stone Mountain. As I'm from GA and used to go there a lot, I think that'd be cool.
I collect everything that is not generic American currency. Which ones are the novelty coins? I'd probably like those too.
Yes, I have two silver quarters I got from working, both 1964. I also got I think three silver dimes. There's just something really neat about the silver.
I don't bother with the mints, that'd be too much work.
I'm missing El Yunque. I came to find that the quarters from the early 2010s are less common, but I managed to find all but that one.
Ooh, I've heard about the W mint quarters! I've never knowingly come across one.
Intriguing...
Makes sense. I've never come across any coin with a specific meaning to me, so I don't have anything like that on my radar.
The generic currency is fun... I like finding joy in the mundane. By novelty coins, I meant anything that doesn't really circulate. I have a couple of silver dimes and nickels as well, I do love those things. Worth a pretty penny now, too.
Collecting the mints is very difficult, and I doubt I'll ever achieve it, but it's fun to work towards. How odd, I have that one in both mints and I swear I see it a lot. That's how circulation works, I guess. I remember as a kid it took me ages to get a 2003-D penny and it drove me crazy. Apparently the Ws are worth a couple bucks for the novelty. I think the US Mint is just enjoying easter eggs...
Also, one of my favorite books is my Canadian penny book from the early twentieth century.

except when rank reqs are concerned
Yeah. Summer school is an option.
Fun fact: I probably won't be making a video game engine any time soon.
I can't help but think about AwesomePythor whenever you say "AP".
Oh, I don't know, the Staff Rank is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural
EEEeeeeeee! Yes! A great reference Also seeing your new avatar makes me think about my family members who were in the army and I would like to say thank you for that sobering reminder of those that have been lost in combat. So yeah.... that's all. I'm done blabbering on now
