Because of budget cuts, during the next school year there will be a total of 7 periods, not 8, at my high school.

Same as mine :/

I am undecided on whether I should take AP Calculus (AB) or AP Spanish (Lang) as my final class. (For the curious, in college I intend to major in some sort of Biology -- likely Biomedical Engineering -- and minor in Spanish). Here are the arguments for both:



Regardless of which choice I make, I'll almost certainly resume taking Calculus/Spanish my freshman year of college. Which choice do you think I should make?

You seem to have a strong grounding in Spanish already, and it seems that you need to take calculus more, since you will be majoring in biology. I think it would be better if you chose calculus and you have a support group in Spanish.

That's an argument I've heard a lot, and it does make a lot of sense. AP Calculus is what's 'in' the schedule right now, but our sign-up system is all online and I could go change it right now if I wanted to.  

Incidentally (and just out of curiosity, since you seem to have roughly the same plans as I do), what science courses have you taken in high school?

So far I've taken ag science, earth space, bio (they wouldn't put me in ap bio for some reason), next year I'm taking ap environmental, honors anatomy, and ap chemistry. Ag tech 2 if that counts. I'm debating whether or not to take out anatomy because the teacher there sounds oddly like the anatomy teacher here.
