PS. Sorry to hear programming's not for you. I just hope the ap system wasn't the factor, cause in my view ap computer science is a bunch of bs. I'll try to keep this short, but basically ap dumbs things down, doesn't teach advanced features or idioms, and doesn't do a good job explaining why you do things. Of course, if you have a really good teacher I suppose he could salvage the class, but that's a rarety in a public school system.
PPS. Hope I don't sound too cynical, I just have some opinions against ap comp. sci  Oh, and I believe there's a teacher around here that teaches it. No offense to you, I just don't like the ap treatment for computer science.
PPPS. My sytem of 'PS'es is entirely too long ... sorry 'bout that
as always, just my 2 cents

yes, your ps system is way too long.
im actually going to take ap C++ this year at my school and we have a teacher that actually knows what he is doing. he has written some books on programming and math and goes around to conferences and speaks. I had him last year for the TrueBASIC programming class (a waste of time
) but he really is a good teacher. The system isn't completely lost, its just blind!
mmmmmm... declaring variables *drool*
