It's like the world is exploding! gonk Fireworks are going off everywhere like crazy. Boom boom kapow, will I ever sleep?

I'm really happy. heart I got my acceptance letter for the school I wanted to go to. Just four hours ago, I was pretty certain that I was going to CK, instead of OLY. I got my report card a week, and I saw that I raised my GPA by .5 points. In just a week! I was really proud of myself. But it was still too low to go to OLY. I just got my report card from the other school I go to, for just one class. My GPA at that school is a 3.8 (Out of 4.0). That was never calculated into my GPA from my primary school. D:< But put it all together, and I'm going to the highschool of my dreams. heart
But. Y'know. I'm kinda mad that my school counselor didn't notice that I was only taking five classes there. But whatever, it's obvious the two don't communicate. Ever. </3

But even though I'm going to the school I want, there's already a problem. I can't take any of the art classes I signed up for next year. And if I can't take any next year, I'll never be able to go into AP Art. I must take these certain classes before I can get into AP. If I miss just one, my chances are thrown out the window, since many students apply for AP and only 20 are accepted. I know I have the skill to make it, and I know I'm willing to learn. There's just some technical stuff to get out of the way first.
I found this out from a phonecall from the school's counselor. She'll be gone untill August 14th, so I have a lot of time to get together what I want to ask her. When she called, I was hardly awake, and I didn't have much of a chance to talk to her since she was leaving ('till August!) in just half an hour. Next time we talk, though, I don't want it to be "So... what crap classes have you signed me up for?" like it was last year. stressed It's going to be "Why am I on the bottom of the list? Why are you jeopardizing my future like this? Why am I being forced to take third-pick classes?"
She says the classes are full, and they are probably full of seniors trying to get in their last art credit. Which bugs me, because I know I'm not the only person with the plan to take these classes and get into AP Art. Gah! They need more art teachers.

    You know, you're allowed to kick butt if they keep treating you like a "third-pick" student. And if you make a fuss to enough of the right people, you can get some interesting classes that you've been eyeing. 3nodding
