I must honestly agree with you about those AP Classes. I'm in my Junior year now and taking two, and they are going to kill me when I take six of them next year. It certainly will be an interesting year, I do say.
I also concur with your sentiment regarding Robert Jordan. It truly is a shame that he died and had to have Sanderson finish his work, because he was such a fantastic author that I've found myself rereading his works, trying to find wordplay and scripting to learn from and put in my own writing.
Also, scholarships are a pain. Since I'm a Junior, the only major scholarships I can apply to are the national ones, so I don't ever really have any chance at winning many of them. But, I wish you the best of luck in your efforts. You're using a search engine, I presume? There are a few out there on the web.
