My school allows students to take calculus and physics C concurrently, but I know that physics C is already very difficult, even for people who have already take calc. I took physics 1 this year and struggled a bit at the beginning, but improved steadily throughout the year. I’m typically a pretty decent math student and can learn fairly quickly, but even though I’m doing well in math currently, I’m worried that I won’t catch onto calc fast enough for physics C. I really enjoyed physics 1, and I want to take physics C, but I’m just not sure if it’s realistic for me to do well in the class without prior experience with calculus. I’m going to be taking 4 APs next year (gov, art, stat, calc) but if I decide to take physics C then I will drop stat.

I’m coming to the end of my junior year and I’m so burnt out. I had near perfect attendance all year until I got mono in March, and since then it’s been down hill. I’ve been missing school constantly, and I feel so guilty about it. I even got a detention for being late 8 times in 2 weeks. I skipped school today and I genuinely feel so guilty about it. I don’t even have an excuse, I just woke up late to my alarm and decided not to go. I just feel so lazy and like such a failure, and at this point I don’t even know why I’m missing so much. I’ve missed every Monday for the past 3 weeks. It’s actually getting ridiculous, but for some reason I can’t get myself to go on time. I don’t even wake up to my alarms anymore and it’s so frustrating, because it’s literally impossible for me to get there on time when I just physically don’t wake up to my alarm clock. All my friends and teachers probably think I’m so lazy, but I’m genuinely not a lazy person, I’m just so exhausted constantly, and I’m so busy after school all the time, but there’s nothing I can do about it. Please if anyone has advice on how to fix this it would be really helpful.
