Six hours of sleep in sixty-something hours...
my head hurts so much

I feel like crying, just because I'm so tired, and I can't sleep because there's so much stupid homework and crap.

I love you, Lindsay. Don't lose hope.
Are you seriously saying that you have so much homework in High School that you dont have time to sleep?
(thanks emily).
yes, i am saying that. i know people say i will have more homework in college, but i really do think that if you take all of the hardest classes possible, you have just as much homework in high school.
and i can attest to the truth of that. but really, as we determined the other night, all that work is pretty devoid of value if the way you are doing it compromises your wellbeing.
Lindsay,
Please ignore tmproff, it has been quite a while since he has been in high school ;)
I am amazed, and actually astonished at how much high school has really turned into college prep, and often times your senior year turns into your freshman year of college. (It wasn't even that bad ten years ago when I did it...)
The thing that is never factored in to this equation is that in the midst of all these expectations, you are still trying to doing the necessary steps to make decisions about next year (college loans, dorm apps, roommates, schedule, oh yeah, and decide where to go), deal with the emotional tasks of leaving (friends, families, familiarity, etc.) and often times there are additional demands put on seniors (awards banquets, competitions, graduation speeches, etc.).
Not that any of this is news to you, simply rambling on to let you know that I understand....
While there is nothing I can do to help you, I do offer this one piece of advice....1) trust your gut. Don't re-do and overanalyze projects and papers that were probably excellent the first time through.....
lol, yes, i am learning to trust my gut simply becuase i don't have time or energy to revise anymore. and it turns out that i still get good grades. maybe i have been working too hard all along.
i agree with you about all of those expectations/pressures. graduation speeces, senior recitals, homework, debate, logistics of next year, leaving my friends, etc. etc. etc....
it is all really difficult.
thanks for commenting. i have missed you!
I have missed you too!
Glad you made it through the week, I was praying for you.
:)
This is a great learning experience for you that you can use for the rest of your life. I remember being in High School, and I remember what it felt like to get my first taste of being overwhelmed :) The reality of it is that it won't go away (especially if you decide on a difficult college degree).
I'm still learning to prioritize projects....It's kind of like looking at a car tire...the more you look at it, the flatter it looks :) Thus, the more you worry about your homework, the more daunting it seems. I can't speak for everyone, But if you just dive in, it usually takes much less time than you anticipated.
