Heh, our school works a bit differently... you have to take at least 7 subjects for the last three years of school, all of which are examined on at the end... I take an eight subject and am writing an extra exam too. (APMaths and Maths Paper 3) There aren't many AP courses here... in fact, APMaths is the only one my school offers.
...but at the end of the year I'll have about 4 Maths exams, 3 English ones, 3 Second Language ones, 2 Information Technology, 1 Life Orientation, 1 Physics, 1 Chemistry, 3 Music and the music practical.
I'll also be self-studying for the SATs and A levels I'm going to write this year. (For applications to the US and UK respectively.)
Busy busy, but not really. Most of it is really basic and the IT course only covers HTML, Java, MySQL and general Database usage.

Again, he's not the most original in content. He was the first to create a complete fictional world that compiled a lot of fantasy into one universe, but (aside from history) a lot of the core elements are taken from folklore and/or history. (in fact, elves, orcs, dwarfs, dragons, regicide, betrayal, etc. are all from folklore and history throughout the ages)
I'm not bashing tolkien. He WAS the father of the modern fantasy genre, but not because of his originality but because of his ingenuity. The way he took fantasy and utilized it in his very VERY complete universe was what jump-started the whole fantasy novel craze.
