Time to Moan
So i guess i'll let you guys listen to me whine a bit...
I'm overwhelmed. I didn't see it coming at all, but i realized today how many things i have to worry about. Lemme break it all down for ya...
School-wise, ive gotta work on my IB music final jury and internal assesment. Only people who are in that same boat could possibly understand how much work that is. The internal assesment is basically a massive research paper which wont be too hard, just time consuming. But the jury is killer. 15 minutes of straight singing, and ive gotta get some of it recorded asap so that i dont have to do it all live. That entails sooo much more than just learning my peices and perfecting them. I've gotta find someone to play the peices, someone to record, and i've gotta finalize my list. Thats all just one class. I also have a decently-sized forensics project and i need to work my ass off to fix my math grade from last semester. So there's the pressure from the school-front.
On the financial front, i found out today that my debts are probably gonna total about $500. Apparantly my parents have decide that theyre gonna make me pay $200 of my Ipod when it was supposed to be a gift. Also, the church where i work sent me a tax return sheet for a little over $100, but apparantly the costs for getting our accountant to take care of all of it are gonna total to $200. And finally, i've got my driving violation costing me $75.
Speaking of that violation, i've gotta miss yet another day of school tomorrow in order to argue it. I'm hoping to get the point off, because they rarely wave the fee. I've gotta figure out when i'm gonna get back to school and whether or not i'll have time to get organized for directing my choir.
As much as I enjoy doing the Fantasticks, it's hard to give it all of the energy i would normally give under more well-rested circumstances. I guess you could call that an example of wanted stress.
All of that stress is bad enough, and then I am staring down a weekend without time to rest. I have a St Mary's college visit saturday morning that im gonna have to get up extremely early to make it on time to. And then Sunday morning is of course my heavily taxed church job. So i'm doomed to be a zombie.
I'm not unhappy, just stressed and way more overwhelmed then i ever thought i was gonna be this semester. Ugh, i just need to get through the next week or two.
