Scheduling (say it 3x)

Scheduling, scheduling, scheduling. Any readers out there who interact with me on a daily basis know that this is something that I talk about incessantly. It's on my mind all the time. When I talk about schedules I'm really talking about the coursework that I'll be taking for the next two years. In which case I might as well be saying IB, IB, IB (International Baccalaureate) since those are the only classes I will be taking. But I'm completely OK with that and I'm really excited. No joke, I have been working on my IB schedule since the 7th grade!!! That's partly because the private school I went to in the DR for the 7th grade was an IB school (the only one in the Caribbean!) Regardless though I have written and erased and rewritten and rearranged that dang schedule more times than I can count. 4 years of planing into something that last two years...sounds reasonable to me!

But I'm done. I few nights ago I sat down for the final time and said to myself, "this is it, there's no going back". and I wrote my final schedule for the final time. Here it is!

Junior Year                                                     Senior Year

IB English I                                                    IB English II (HL Exam)
IB History of the Americas                            IB 20th Century Topics (HL Exam)
IB Physics I                                                    IB Chemistry II* (SL Exam)
IB Mathematics I                                            IB Mathematics II (SL Exam)
IB French I                                                     IB French II (HL)
IB Psychology (SL Exam)                             Senior Science Investigations*
Theory of Knowledge                                    Advanced Composition 2
Free Block                                                      Free Block

SL = Standard Level
HL = Higher Level
*Sr. Sci. Investigations: Basically another block for you to do the labs of whatever science you are taking, in this case, Chemistry. So not looking forward to that.
*IB Chemistry II: This is the only thing subject to change because since I haven't taken physics I don't know which science I'll like better. I definitely like Chemistry a lot more than Biology though!

So here's a public announcement about how I will not under any circumstances change my schedule again! Ms. Pizzazz you will never hear me deliberating about my schedule during class time again I promise!

Before I go to bed though I just wanted to say how much I have loved redoing my schedule though, it's so fun! And I also love doing other people's schedules! I have done more than 5 people's already and they always walk away just as satisfied as I am happy. I don't think I would ever become a counselor (hey, let's face it, not everyone is as motivated as I am) but maybe a college sounselor/admissions person would be a fun job for a while. I know for a fact that I want to study the college admissions process before I die, that's on my brand new bucketlist that I just started thinking about right now. Maybe I'll make that public some day. For now though, I'm off to bed where I will schedule tomorrow's activities! (I never said anything about not being able to schedule my day!)
