the home stretch

We just ended our last 3day weekend of the actual school year. The next one, Memorial Day weekend, comes right before finals, after the "real" part of school has finished. Now, we have SEVEN, yes, SEVEN long weeks left. I believe this is the longest stretch we've had all year. I already feel stressed and tired and bored with school that I can't even imagine how I'll feel three weeks into the home stretch.

At least this week is camp, so for me, it's a three day week. That's what I like about camp and the peer helping program in general. While you're there, you're usually having a lot of fun and/or relaxing. You forget about everything, you're so much less stressed. You never realize what time it is or how much homework you have to do. But then reality comes at you really fast because you have no weekend to catch up on your schoolwork.

I just feel like there's not enough time to do all that I need to do. We have six more cycles to finish everything and learn everything that we need to (even less for AP classes). On top of that, as a junior, I have to study for the SAT, SAT II's, and the ACT. I don't think it's all quite kicked in yet, I'm kind of glad that it hasn't. But when it comes down to it, and everything kicks in, I'm sure it won't be so pretty.
