Advanced english is really nothing. It tends to be faster than other classes but thats about it and a little extra work. (easy)
Geometry is the easiest math class you'll take and easiet to
understand (im currently in alg. 2) (easy)
Physical science - ehh depends on how you see it - thats a class you make hard yourself (medium)
Weightlifting - start slow and go high (easy)
Algebra 2 - complicated but doable (i wouldn't recommend doubling up with that alot of work) (medium-hard)
Visual art - easy
anatomy and physiology - get ready for a lot of work! (hard)
tech systems - pure memorization (medium)
Health science - easy
French 1 - purely easy just do your work (easy)
Keyboarding - piece of cake!
enjoy your year =)

A & P is hard. My 10th grade daughter likes it but does complain that it is a lot of memorizing (like 206 bones in the body, etc.)
How did you do in algebra 1? Geometry and alg 2 are completely different classes. Many kids at my daughter's school take them together, but you have to be prepared to work a little harder with 2 math classes. Your school must think you are capable, you know. The counselor has seen your schedule and approved it, and she must know your ability, so you probably are able to do the work, the question is will you put in the time?
Why not take them all, and if in the first week of school you find it too much, switch one or two. You can ask if that is possible, it usually is.

Anatomy & Physiology is hard in some areas, but it requires a lot of memorization.
French 1 is easy usually. It's just a matter of doing the homework and studying for tests.
Physical Science is easy if you do the work (I took it last year in another high school - in Ohio) and I found it really easy.

anatomy and physiology requires a lot of work and daily studying. From your schedule you look like a good student so if you believe you can handle all these classes along with anatomy and phys. then go for it!
You'll be in a great position for your junior year if you take these classes!

your schedule doesn't seem so bad
just make sure you manage your time wisely because the science and math require daily studying including thorough reviewing if you want to exceed
otherwise - all courses are hard - working makes them easier - just focus, keep up, and you'll be fine!
