Also note, incase you're interested, that everything but german and physics were only semester courses.
Schoolwork is never difficult, if you can take an interest in it.

This is a very easy semester for me, I'm between physics classes and I decided that quaternions was going to be the final math course I took at dP.

I'm only clocking in 16 units this quarter... I'm actually doing pretty poorly in Japanese, since there's a lot more focus on kanji (I grew up speaking it, but never learned much writing). Other than that, I should do pretty well. ^^ I've actually got a LOT of reading to do for CR100, and it's really REALLY boring. -_-; CL103 is Decadence in Literature, so I'm liking the readings for that, and I'm thoroughly enjoying LJ20.
...and developing a fully automated fabrication, assembly, and packaging system for 1,200,000 assemblies. We need 5 good assemblies every minute. We're allowed to have 1 person on each shift as a material handler. It's pretty intense but we're getting there. At the end of the semester we have to give a presentation to the instructor in the form of a sales pitch. The theory is that the more interested he is in buying your system, the better the grade.
HS249 - US History (from just before Columbus to Reconstruction)
This is my first telecourse. It's alot more reading and video watching. Generally interesting but not seeing and instructor every week makes it difficult to determine what's on the tests.
When you work for 40-55 hours a week and then try to do homework, it gets a bit messy.
Well Canada works off of % systems, so 80+ = A, 70-80 = B 60-70 = C, etc. Over 80 is Honours, over 90 is Honours with Distinction
IB Physics HL - 96% IB Chemistry - 94% IB Biology HL - 99% IB Calculus HL - 100% IB English HL - 90% (I <b>HATE</b> this course and its teacher) IB European History HL - 95%
Sadly I don't actually have the best marks. This Ukranian girl and this Russian guy both have better. The Russian guy actually finished last year, but everyone still compares their marks to his. Straight 7's on the IB exams and straight 100's on all the Sciences and History (and Calculus).
Oh forgot one: Computer Science 30 AP AB - 100% (This course is a <i>joke</i>. So easy.)
Last year the day before the CS30AP exam, my teacher found me and told me that it was in Java. Which I hadn't touched. Ever. So with 1 whole day of instruction, I managed to get a 5. Easiest. Exam. Ever.
Edit: BTW, the only reason English HL is lower than the rest is because my teacher hates me. My papers, when handed in by anybody else, get 96-100%. When handed in by me, they get 75-85. I've tested it. Hell, I had my cousin who has a degree in English write one and I handed it in and got a 70, because apparently using the word "occasionally" is too "wordy". That was the only reason she gave for docking me 30%, while this girl in my class handed in utter crap 3 weeks late and got 100, then complained about how the teacher hates her. After the urge to throttle her subsided, I looked at her paper and it wasn't even on the right topic.
