I feel your pain. I have a full schedule, work, PR for two clubs, and supposedly a couple of my professors start loading on the work in these higher level courses.
Though none of my classes are as difficult as Physics. >.> I scored way too low on my math entrance exam, and in addition my majors have nothing to do with math or science... so they stuck me in the lowest math course available. XD Quantitative reasoning.
I can organize and schedule! XD Woo!

Trix....doesn't understand the American system...
I wish I was only doing three subjects - I'm doing 11, with one as sorta 2. gonk And I'm doing science at a faster speed and I'm doing higher level maths (I somehow managed to get into the top group) and I'm doing bloody higher level German cause our school won't let us take the lower level ("you're intelligent - you took a test to get into this school" - yes dumbass, we took a test in English and Maths not in frinkin' German!)

You're in highschool (or the equivalent) though, right? And a private school I would assume since you had to take tests to enter?
At least in the area of California I come from and my public education background, in highschool our max course load was 7 classes plus an optional sport or work experience class. The minimum depended on what year you were in and how many courses you've taken previously.
In college (junior/community, university, etc) you pretty much get to choose your own workload, nothing's really forced on you. I took four classes my first semester, decided I no longer like academics, and took three classes the next semester (make-up, costume, and astronomy online). Now I'm not in school because I'm trying to get accepted to a film/television/fashion make-up school that won't start until next July.
And my friend who's at a state school was kind of forced to not go at all this semester because all of her film classes were booked. So in my personal experience, you're kind of left on your own to make course decision (unless you ask for help) when you're in college out here.

Anetra_Pendragon Were the flowers hardcore, Rae? Totally. domokun I used on entire can of black floral spray paint on the 9 arrangments. xp Trix--sounds like you're in high school, like Mek said. In Iowa, where I went to high school, we had a 7 hour school day with 8 50 minute class periods and 10 minutes in between each to get from one class to the next. Each year, you were required to take a science, a math, a history, and an English course. The other 4 hours were used for things like band, foreign languages, P.E., art, music, etc. But as Mek said, collage is pretty much completly open. You can take a single 1 credit class, or you can take up to 18 credits (most classes being worth 3 or 4 credits) or more with the schools permission. You can take whatever you want, pretty much whenever you want. If you're seeking a degree, there is established criterea, like, you have to take 2 math classes, 2 english classes, an intensive writting class, economics, politics, history, sociology, art appreciation, etc. Then whatever is more specific to your degree. I'm getting a degree in History with minors in Asian Studies and Foreign Languages so I had to take like an additional 10 history classes, 3 years of Japanese and Chinese, Asian culture and literature classes and such. But even then, there is some flexibility. You need a minimum of 120 credits to gradulate, so like 40 of those are electives and you can take pretty much anything the school offers. What country are you from? Tell us about your school. :3 What subjects do you study? Arre there really 11 different subjects to take all in one year? xd ;; How long are you classes?

Wait...so collage isn't just for degrees? I live in England. Yep, 11. Well, nine's the minimum, twelve's the maximum. I take Maths, English, English Literature (you have to take these three), Chemistry, Biology, Physics (you either have to take these as three separate subjects - like I am - or a combined Science course, which is two GCSEs), German (we have to take at least one language), Classical Civilisation, Religious studies, History and Geography. These are my GCSEs - there the first of three (the other two people AS an A levels) very important English exams. There were more subjects last year - still less work though. gonk And yes, I'm in Secondary School - the equivalent of high school, and it's a private school. I went to state Primary schools though. It scares me how...well, over protected alot of the girls at my school are. They don't really understand how life works.

Typically, if you're going to a University/State school/private college, you would be going for a degree.
If you go to a community/junior college you can get an Associates degree, finish your general education (math, science, english, ect) and then transfer to one of the above, or just take classes that you want to take ( an older woman in one of my math classes just wanted to refresh her memory and be able to help her kids learn the subject) orrr, like me, it's a place to flounder while still doing something and figure out what you want to do.
In my highschool, you were only required to take 2 years (20 units) of math, 3 years of social studies (typically Modern Civilization, US History, Economics, and Government), all four years of english (basic English the first three years and senior year you could choose the classes like Legends of King Arthur, Shakespeare, Myth and Folklore, Sci-Fi, Bible as Literature, Film as Literature, etc), 2 years of physical education, 2 years of a foreign language depending on the college you were going to attend, a one semester health/driver's ed course, aaaand electives. I think we had to complete 140 min. units.

My high school was, honestly, pretty "wide open" too. Now that I think about it it had a pretty College-esque setup for grades 10 and 11.
In grade 9, you were required to take set english, math, history, science, phys-ed courses. Option courses were half-credit isntead of full credit, and were every second day each, so that you could 'try out' more things.
In grade 10 it was basically the same except that you had geography instead of history, math branched off into Consumer Math (basic), Pre-Calculus, and Applied Math (w/ a graphing calculator).
Option courses were full credit, and you started having 'spare periods' where you had no class. If you took the full grade 10 workload with normal classes, you'd have 1 spare.
Grade 11 was basically the same as above, with the math still branched off and with the social studies set back to history, except that science branches off here too, so you take either Biology, Chemistry, or Physics.
10, 11, and 12 basically have the same option classes that you can "mix and match" however you please
Grade 12 has english broken off into two subsections (I forget how exactly), math still broken in the three, and no science or social studies requirement.
It was honestly pretty slack. I stacked my 9th and 10th grade years with a bunch of after-school options (Asia Pacific Studies, Japanese Langauge) so by 11 and 12 I had like, all my option credits already, so I only had 2 or 3 classes per semester.
At the moment, I'm in college getting an associate degree, and then I'm going to transfer to a university to get an actual .. you know. Thing.
In Physics. Because that's hardcore.

Physics is totally hardcore! gonk I originally started collage to pursue a degree in Astronomy--which is just physics in space.
Trix--most collage students are pursueing a degree, but most classes are also open to non-degree seeking students. Like my boyfriend. He just takes classes for fun and to learn stuff he's interested in. He got his degree years ago at a different school.
How long is each of your classes? You don't go to school for 11 hours a day, do you? @__@;
