I was considering going to the college for a bit each day next year so I can continue to take Japanese (my school only goes up to Japanese 4, after that it's independent study) but meh.
I'm 14. I had the opportunity to skip a grade and be a sophomore right now, but I didn't want to. I think it's a good thing I did it. I'm mature [ish
] now, but I don't think I would have been ready for going into 6th grade a year early.

Oh alright. A lot of homeschoolers (or at least the ones I know) start at community colleges around 14 or 15 (sometimes younger). So I didn't think it was weird to start this fall at all.

Ack, I'm off next year, after I graduate.
Don't worry, if you managa your time well (unlike myself) you should have plenty of time.

I don't really have daily homework that is due the following day. Just a few tests to study for and some projects to turn in.
It makes time management a little simpler when you don't have to finish assignments on the same day you get them.

Well, as a senior in high school who is taking courses at the local community college, I can tell you that it's pretty simple.
1. The classes I chose are ridiculously easy.
2. I'm now what we call a "second semester senior" --> senioritis, baby!
3. You make time for PPT. Forgo a few homework assignments here and there (I definitely don't condone this! Take care of what you can), go to bed at 2-3 AM every day.... You get the picture.
Just get your priorities straight and get things out of the way. Then you can spend all your time on PPT. Agh. Addictive stuff, I say.

I'm in college and I still play. I obviously don't have as much time to do so as I used to, but it doesn't mean I've quit.

wait.. you are actually suppose to go to class and buy books while in college. mmmm I may want to try that. Wait I graduate in May, so why change it, if it ain't broke.

You buy books at the school bookstore or other designated stores. They are hella expensive. I spent around $450 USD on books this semester.
If I don't get A's, I'm going to be quite unhappy.

That is a waste. I stopped buying them my freshman year. I still get the same grades then as I do now.

Sadly, I can't do that. My professors assign a lot of reading. Also, my Chinese homework requires workbooks.

Vote socialist at the next election. Eductation here is completely free (books, although somewhat dated, included).

My books are free. 
I love Florida.

Right. The Socialists win an election in the United States.

You just have to be selective about the books you buy.
For instance, my English teacher told us to get a grammar workbook for $50. It's a good thing I'm proficient in English grammar (or at least, I hope I am), so I just said screw it and didn't buy the book.
Only purchase books that you absolutely need. Also, you can buy them used for a good chunk off the top value.
