So Much To Do, So Little Time

That's a saying everyone has heard their entire life. Mainly, when you're little, you don't understand what these crazy adults are talking about. But, I finally realize everything now that I'm sitting here every single day and the thought crosses my head AT LEAST once an hour about what I have to do with my life. I have so much I have to get planned before graduation, it's absolutely crazy.

So, this is my "TO DO LIST"
1) Send my acceptance money to Coe
2) Send out graduation invites
3) Plan my graduation party
4) Maintain my grades so I can graduate with distinction :)
5) Get ready for the AP exams
6) Clean everything in my house for my grad party
7) Have two jobs
8) Have a social life and be happy

So, this doesn't really seem like a lot to do, but it actually is. I'm normally really good at managing my time, but it's not as easy as it use to be. I do and will eventually get everything done on time, but it's not easy. Every senior is going through all of this right now, and I definitely think I understand senioritis now. I'm trying not to let it take me over until after my AP exams, but it's hard. Some people have already given up this term, but I'm trying my best to stay on the right path. I guess we'll see.. actually...I definitely want to. This graduate with distinction thing is what I've wanted for forever...well since I realized I had the opportunity to. I just have to work hard at it... :(

So Teachers Suck..

Sorry Mr. Ayers...but it's just how I feel right now.

So last week my AP Econ teacher decided to basically tell us..."you guys are all seniors, you have less than two months of school left, none of you want to be here, and we still have work to do. There's going to be some of you that will try and some of you that won't, so it's up to you. You are going to have to do everything yourself, and I won't really be leading the class anymore unless you have questions."

Yeah...so this would be my hardest class. That's insane! I need him there to teach me, I can't teach myself. Yeah there's the book and everything, but you need more than a book for it to make complete sense. Especially in a class so hard.

Basically all of my teachers right now are giving us a whole bunch of work all at the same time. It seems like they all ran out of time and are giving us a bunch to do all at once to cram it in. That doesn't work out very well. Especially as seniors. Right now we're planning for the rest of our lives. We have to do so much...plan for our graduation, plan for college, choosing living situations, prepare ourselves for everthing to change, do homework, have jobs, maintain a social life, and stay mentally sane?? I don't think so... I know that I'm personally losing my mind.

And no one seems to understand how much stress we seniors are actually under. Everyone else seems to only care about themselves. It sucks. I really gotta try and stay positive through this..
