Stress

I need to write this down so I don't forget:

In the next three to four-ish days, I need to

• Make at least one A-Team practice


• Go to the match


• Get my passport picture taken


• Figure out exactly when and how I'm going to get my emergency passport renewed, when I'm about to travel in less than one month.


• Get 2 days' worth of long overdue TB shots


• Turn in late Physics stuff


• Work on my senior project


• Get birthday stuff ready for Kida


• Go shopping for a Japanse phrasebook


• Go to the author's/illustrator's club meeting


• Catch up on math homework


• Finish notes/research for AP Lit


• Pick a poem for the S&D banquet


• Pay for A-Team banquet


• Breathe.


• ...Sleep

Yeah, that last one's become a casualty of my senior year lifestyle. Sad and not wholly necessary (but at times like this you can see how it is). This is why I advise all you incoming seniors to proceed with caution. Don't overschedule yourself, because though I highly doubt that your schedule will regularly look like the one above (mine doesn't regularly...), you still want to account for the fact that life will get hectic at times, and you still want to have time for yourself, to do the things you love and want to do without letting them turn into stressful things of tediousness and habit!

I would do most of it over the same way, given the opportunity. I'm grateful to be able to do all this stuff and have freedom and love and health and bountiful opportunities. But I feel more tired than I'd like to, sometimes.
