 My lordie, I feel like smacking something.
My general emotion is that no matter how hard I try, I WILL be stressed.
Evidence from today:
(Feel free to skip)
- communicated with teachers about rec. letters
- checked out the common app and started filling it out
- did all my homework for tomorrow
- emailed my counsellor about swapping math classes (stats please?)
- did auditionstuff in Wind Ensemble, but ended up "taking one for the team" and filling the Bari spot, despite my TenorSectionleadehood, because the none of the other section members would do it (whatever, it's not MB)
- got in touch with Forster for resume writing help
- Read deep into my english outside reading book, which we really don't even need to have yet
- Read the first segment of "The Importance of Being Earnest," which we really don't even need to have yet EITHER
- Started learning drill in MB, finally
- Finished my physics homework for friday

...but I'm still fuckin' frustrated. I still feel like I have amazing loads things waiting to happen.
Dad's continuing his job search, but for each day that that goes on, that's one more day with too-few cars, meaning that my car may or may not be there if I leave it in the lot, since the parents tend to be borrowing it a lot these days.
Also, my computer keeps getting delayed one day at a time. First, UPS was being lazy or something so it was a day behind, and then today mom was out of the house when the delivery people came.

I'm trying so hard here; my study habits are better than they've ever been, I've been getting good amounts of sleep, and I'm generally ahead of the game. What kind of reward is this feeling of suffocation?
Blech.

If I can swap math classes, though, I assume a huge weight will be lifted. I honestly hate calculus with a passion; I know everyone says that about some class or another, because they find the teacher mildly bothersome, but I truly despise the whole system of calculus, its numerous rules, its arbitrary notation (have you ever stepped back and looked at the gibberish on those papers? cosx ln4^xalskdnkv... fuck you), and general uselessness. It'd be awfully nice if math and science weren't so often linked. While I am interested in medicine and things related to it, for some reason counsellers and other people have all decided that that must mean CalcBC is a perfect fit for me.

*deep breaths*
I'll change to stats, the comp should come tomorrow, and Dad's job search is looking fine.
Hang in there, Chrispy.

Don't worry, senior year is always a bit shitty, but once apps are done, you'll feel great. That is, until results come out, and then you'll feel like shit. But then when you decide where you want to go, you'll feel fantabulous and then senioritis will kick in. (Did I help make you feel better at ALL?) Anyway hang in there, young'un. BTW do you have Glasman? Outside reading assignment + The Importance of Being Earnest = Glasman, the most incredible teacher in the school.

Chrispy,
It is senior year. Don't let the senioritis get to you and just know that this semester is gonna be the hardest semester yet. 2nd semester senior year is when we all have fun.

Secondly, people (especially hardworking overachievers) tend to pile stuff on each day. Make sure that you are letting your body as well as your mind rest awhile before you start a new task. I personally haven't read the english book. I have my recommendation plans set out and ready to go. Still working on that III SAT. Doing Key Club stuff. But this time I am permitting myself to not finish tuesday homework totally on wednesday.

Take things one at a time, and enjoy that piece of cake, that ice cream, or that good sport in between. The energy will double back, I am sure. ^^
