It's More Than Enough For Me

I really should not be writing right now, I have about 8 hours of homework. No joke. That's what I get for slacking off I guess.

Today was TERRIBLE. There are not enough synonyms for "bad" for me to even begin to describe it. I got so many bad grades, except in APES, and I just can't handle it.

I've decided that I really need to start working harder. At the beginning of the school year, I promised myself that I would work my ass off to get the grades I need, but I haven't been doing that at all. I've been slacking off so much. And I actually like my classes a lot, and the concepts aren't hard to understand, there's just so much work and I don't know how to manage my time correctly so that I can keep up with my homework, stay involved with my extracurriculars, get enough sleep, eat 3 meals a day, and have a social life. It's a lot more difficult than it sounds. I'm getting better though.

Speaking of extracurriculars, I've found that being president of TYM is a really rewarding experience. It's really awesome when I work hard to get something together and then I get an email from Mrs. Gail the next day telling me how good of a job I'm doing. It kind of reminds me of dance; when I nail something I've been working on for a long time, it makes me feel really good about myself. Lord knows I could use some self-esteem boosts like that every once in a while.
