Life Update #1

        It's Tuesday, 1:02 pm and I'm writing this life update as fast as I can. My computer is precariously stacked on top of my chemistry bider and calc books which I have been trying, with little success, to make progress in.
        You see, I am so frantic because I just organized my agenda and now I know exactly how busy my week is going to be. Within the next three days I will take two tests, participate in a class debate in Spanish, complete AP style calc questions on a subject that, to put mildly, I do not understand a bit, do the AP physics online long answer questions, and, of course, write my two blogs and my Angels in America essay. And that all is just the homework that teachers have put on mysevern by this time- no doubt, there will be more.
        Well, why don't I just use my ample free time after school to get ahead? Why don't I manage my hours upon hours of free time more wisely so that I don't end up with an overwhelming amount of homework? I would answer with another question: What free time?
        Coming out of the musical, I thought my days of spending more than 12 hours at school were over, but, alas, I was mistaken. Yesterday, I woke up early and left my house around 7:15 to take my sister to walk the dog she is watching while her owner is on vacation and make it to school by 7:35. After a strenuous school day which culminated in my near avoidance of falling asleep during math class, I spent two hours at track practice. From there, I arrived (late) to acapella, and did not leave school after that until 8, arriving home five minutes later. 7:35-8:05: more than a twelve hour day.
        But wait! There's more! God, what a foolish assumption that after days like that, immediately following a week and weekend of musical intensity, I would earn a moment of repose. No, I have to pick up dinner and drive my sister again to dogsit, of course I have to eat and shower, and then I get to start my homework.
        After consecutive days and an entire weekend running on four hours of sleep per night, I, lucky me, got around six hours last night. I am exhausted.
