I would have had fun with that, too. The problem is that, somewhere along the line, my daughter decided that she doesn't like science or math, so she's looking at three out of five classes that trimester being things she's already certain she won't enjoy. I think that she's finding science to be stressful in the same way that I find following politics in detail to be.

She's not seeing the ways in which the universe is amazing. She's seeing every single potential breakdown point rather than finding comfort in things that work or fascination in the things we don't understand yet.

She does well in the classes, so I'm hoping that the anxiety is a thing she can overcome. She's not taking either class AP because the AP versions are both two trimester classes. Extra AP classes would mean giving up choir. The school also recommends that students not take more than two AP classes a year.
