How should I prepare for my sophomore year?

Question

I'm signed up for AP world history(yikes!), geometry, college bound english(wasn't recommended for pre-AP which is more advanced, but I might switch into it later), advanced science(which I plan to make my favorite class this year b/c my career will probably be focused around it), gym/health(XP), french(which i know NOTHING about), and drivers ed. Yes, detailed. I went to look for the supply list for my school but they didn't have anything. So what should I get?

Oh and girl question: flip-flops or sneakers? =)

Answer 1

I'll be a sophomore too.  And I am taking some of the same classes your taking.  AP US history, Advanced Science, college bound English, Algebra 2 instead of geometry, gym/art, and spanish 3 honors instead of french.

Basically for school supplies I would suggest that you buy the basics now, before they run out of everything and then on the first day of school bring a notebook and write down the specific supplies that each teacher wants you to have.  All of my teachers from last year just gave us a syllabus with the supplies listed on that, so you might not even need to write them down.  Just bring a folder and a notebook.  

So this year, I am planning on buying this for school supplies before the first day...

-lots of loose leaf paper

-binders for every major class

-notebooks (like the 10 for $1 thing at Target, just incase I need them even though I like binders and note paper better)

-page divider things (to put in binders)

-a year's supply of pencils

-a year's supply of pens

-highlighters

-pencil case

And that's about it.

Personaly, I prefer sneakers.  But that's just because flip flops hurt my feet and I hate having to pain my toenails all the time.  But, it's really a personal preference.  

Good luck.  Go class of 2011!!!

Answer 3

Flip Flops =]

and go to school the first day with a notebook to write everything down and a folder =] works best for me every first day i've ever had! then go out after the first day and buy all your things.

good luck with soph year! it's loooong and boring =D

Answer 4
