Rage against the Math System

So today my mom and I went to get me registered for high school. Little did we know we would be there for almost four hours, and not even get to the counselor because it was so late. I'm pretty sure we were the only ones prepared with everything... still, it took forever. And right near the end, we were giving class specifications for what's-her-face to put in the system, and after I said that I would prefer french class and art, we also expressed an interest in me being in an AP (advanced placement for those of you who don't know) math class. I've always been a math nerd, it's my best subject in school. I took Algebra 1 in 7th grade and passed with flying colors, took Algebra 2 in 8th grade and the same happened. So I figured I'd be in an AP math class right off the bat. NOPE. EVERY FRESHMAN HAS TO BE IN ALGEBRA 1. That's right; I'm repeating 7th grade math (for me anyways). This is EXTREMELY irritating to me. Not only will I be BORED, but I can do so much more and it just isn't challenging at all!!! Ugh. Oh well, maybe I can just do well enough that they bump me up to a better class. My hope was that I wouldn't have to repeat Algebra 2... I guess I got that wish, in the worst way possible.
