Perhaps you were witty enough to have noticed the ironic title. Perhaps you snorted back a laugh. Perhaps you didn't notice until just now. Perhaps I should stop saying "perhaps."
Regardless, let me delve straight into the heart of the matter; I am currently writing this post when I should be studying my butt off for AP Biology (which explains the shortness of the post). I have upwards of 90 vocabulary terms related to genetics to memorize by 4th period tomorrow or suffer yet another sub-par grade. It's becoming borderline ridiculous; AP Biology is a serious AP class, furthermore, it should be taught as such and given a proper class length of 2 hours (as it is in college). Our labs take 30 minutes to set up, usually, and then we have dozens of measurements to make which lead us well into lunch before we can take apart the lab and clean up. Our tests take inordinate amounts of time too- given even just 30 more minutes, I would have a chance to thoroughly check my answers and perhaps get better grades.
The homework is a monstrosity in its own rights. Though we are generally given ample amount of heads up on the due dates, the load itself is obscene and it is very difficult to pull ahead and do assignments in advance while doing the homework for other classes. What a nightmare.
What did I sign myself up for?

PS- I still don't regret not taking AP Chem though; at least I'll pass my exam!

Cole's older brother, Sean, took AP Chem, slept through the class, and got a 5 on the exam.
Last year's exam was a fluke and very few passed it nationally.
Cole will rape it.
I'll fail, but whatever.
Your post is why I'm not taking AP Bio next year.
