Dropping honours bio was definitely a really good thing for me. My schedule was only changed a little bit, so now I have gym and tech. ed. for 12th (last) period instead of first period (yay!). I'm taking regular science in place of that sucky class, and I actually have one of my two life-long friends in it! (My other life-long friend is homeschooled, along with her younger brother.)
I am so happy that I dropped. It's made things a LOT easier for me to handle, though everything is still a bit much.
My updates will still be very slow, but I haven't forgotten about this, so don't worry.
