Reflection: Things I regret about high school

1. Ever, ever even considering taking AP music theory. The biggest mistake I have ever made, extracurricular wise. I didn't know the subject material, I expected more help from the instructor, and i grossly overestimated my own competence in the matter. Furthermore, I ignored the advice of my parents to avoid the class. I passed the class with a B; I failed the AP exam. Live and learn.

2. AP statistics. Not a bad class by definition; simply out of my league. I thought I needed the extra boost in math to increase my chances of getting into a good college, but as it turns out it was totally unnecessary after all. Most of the other people in my class feel the same way. I think that they should require taking Prob Stat before AP stat, so one has at least some idea of what they're getting into, and a basic understanding of the core formulae.

3. Not something I could have changed, but regardless: Kristina Rudolph. You've heard us talk, you know why. The incompetent.

That's it though. A learning experience, and a good one.
