Breathe
Thinking that senior year would be easy is backfiring on me. I took all my hard courses last year, and tried to keep my shedule for this year simple. Even though I have a pretty relexed schedule in school, at least for right now, I have so much going on outside of school. As of now, I have one to two days free out of the week, and that depends on how much homework I have. The only day I can stay home and relax, or go out with friends and chill out, is saturday. My schedule just keeps getting more hectic. Soccer practices monday and wednesday nights, work thursday and friday nights, powder puff practices on sundays 2-5 and then rushing to my soccer games that start at five after that, not to mention studying for school, ACT, applying to colleges, and working on scholarship projects due this winter. Everything is driving me crazy. My schedule is so long that the last sentence I wrote is probably a run-on sentence. I guess I just didn't realize how crazy senior year would be. I know eventually after sending in all my applications and what not it will settle down. But I still have a few months before that will kick in. I just need a week full of nothing. I guess the only thing i'm trying to say here is that, I need a chance to breathe.

I agree with Kelly. My schedule is beyond easy sometimes. I have some challenging classes, but none of them would I say are particularly hard. I mean, I’m doing in this blog in net sports right now. Along with Kelly, my after school schedule is insane. From soccer every day, to the occasional free day that usually gets filled up with work at the last minute, it’s hard to find free time to do much of anything. I hang out with my next door neighbor more than anyone now because it’s the only person I can have time to see. Don’t get me wrong, I’m good friends with him, but I wish I could hang out with more people. It’s come down to me only being able to hang out with people on my soccer team, because I am with them so much. The fact I haven’t started skipping 24/7 is surprising even to me. At least I can look forward to going to college in a few months, and turning 18 in two.
I have found senior year to be the hardest year in high school so far. I don't really know what its going to be like later in the year, but as of now its been kicking my butt. Freshman year was a struggle, but it was more of getting used to the homework load and the new environment. I have had so much on my plate this year outside of school, dealing with college applications, jobs, and extracirricular activities. I love being a senior, but I can also feel the pressure slowly coming on.I am currently taking Anatomy, and I love the class but it's probably the hardest class that I have taken at Groves. Your grade for the class consists of mostly tests, and I'm glad it is that way because once I hit college I will know better study habits. I can't wait for a break, but this year helping me for what life might bring in the future. So in the same sense I feel that with every new year, there are new struggles that come along with it and they are there for a reason and this year is just another one to add to my list.
