I hope this helps somewhat...here are some random thoughts:
1. I don't know what year of Spanish you're in right now, but most colleges like 3 or 4 years of a language. But if you're in 3 this year you can always take 4 senior year.
2. A good rule of thumb is 1 free period per AP class. As an AP course, there's about 5x as much homework as any other class, but the science APs are a lot harder than any other.
3. I agree with the rock doc about needing pre-calc before taking ap physics. A lot of the physics stuff are things that we're doing right now in AP Calculus...they learn it maybe a week before us because they just look at how to do it and we look at why you do it

awesome. That was perfect. I'll probably make my mom read that. And yes, I'm in spanish III this year, and i'm looking at probably 3 APs senior year. It would be Physics, Calc, and either Euro or US. Definately not bio though. And my interests seem to be split between math/science and music, and I do a ton of extracurricular stuff, which cuts down on the best time to do hw, which then cuts into my sleep, and then i go downhill from there...
