Well, here's my rant on how I screwed myself this year over the summer. I could have been productive because I had no formal job with formal hours, but no, I wasted it on god-knows-what. So now, with school two days away, I have a book to finish, but 3 more books to study to be ready for the tests coming next week. But, my weekend is gone with this training retreat. Applications for college? They sound nice, but I've barely started on the Common Application, let alone looked at other school's application. Heck, I don't even have the foggiest of ideas where I'm going to apply besides for 4 definite schools. I guess I need to write an essay too, but oh well, I haven't started on that. I've got a list of 10 topics I need to choose from, but I haven't given much thought into that. Now my parents wanted me to visit schools in the summer, but I haven't done that (so now I get to do it in the fall) and I can't miss more than 5 days of school this fall. I have 10 mini-essays to write (in Spanish) about current events, but I haven't started. Apparently, they are being collected at second bell, eighth period, on Friday. That means 10 mini-essays, 2 real days to do them.
My Wednesday will be occupied with a worthless trip to school to get my parking pass, locker, and other worthless items as well as a nice trip to court to get my full Virginia license (which, by the way, expired 2 months ago).
This hasn't even mentioned the fact that I've got to go get recommendations from 3 teachers, write a resume, and keep my grades up for the next year.
Oh, and national championship expectations for Quiz Bowl? That too.
On April 1st, when I get that letter that I want from Bucknell, Vanderbilt, William & Mary, or etc., I'm going to coast my way because my fall and winter are going to stress me out.
EDIT: I just realized I completely omitted stress about the SAT, ACT, SAT II's, a hard schedule, and the expected 4-5 hours of homework a night.
