I don't know what to do...?

Are you going into Senior year of High school? If not, can't you take Government later on in your high school years. If you're going into Senior Year, than I suggest taking Government. It's only for a semester, and you do need it. Plus you don't have to pay almost $300 for it and skip riding. Also, if you planned on majoring in art in college you'll be taking plenty of art classes, and even if you aren't than you can still take art classes in college. Personally I think it's wise to take the government class during the regular school year.

Senior year scheduling is annoying, for me it was a breeze at first but now I want to drop Spanish and take Physics and I know my Guidance counsler is going to give me the gripes about it. But I need physics for my major, but she was worried because I'm taking 'so many sciences next year' -_-

nope, this'll be my junior year. I could possibly take government my senior year, but I already know that's gonna be jam packed with everything I want to take before I graduate so I dunno if I'll have a semester to stick it in. I'm not majoring in art...which is why I thought it'd be kinda cool to take at least one official art class at some point, ya know?

I talked to my mom, and she agreed that dropping the summer journalism workshop is the best idea. That way, I can take the summer class AND keep riding. It sucks...but it sucks less than my other choices.

Thanks everyone for all the great advice!

I would pick education. However summer courses (at least in my college) crams everything into six or ten weeks. In this case it sounds like everything that would be in a fall or spring term government class would be crammed into three weeks. I would personally drop the MIPA Summer Workshop?

That's the choice I would have made too. I personally wouldn't drop the riding. I know it's important to you and I think you should stick with it while you're young and have the time. Once you're in college and have a job, (and eventually if you decide yo have a family) it'll be much harder for you to find the time (and money) to ride. It's not impossible, but it is much harder.

12 weeks=3months=1/4 of a year. It will fly by!

but that, combined with the break I had to take over the winter, adds up to almost a half a year off. It most definitely doesn't fly by. It more like stumbles drunkenly in the general direction of being over.

I talked to my parents today about not going to MIPA, and they were shocked that I came up with, and chose, that kind of a plan c. When I told them, they both mentioned how excited I had seemed about going....*sigh* Whatever. I guess...depending on how finances are, I might be able to go to the workshop my junior year.
