hmm
Ever feel like you have so much to talk about/let out, but no one you want to talk to? Yeah, feels like that right now. Life is so overwhelming...
Just ran through my 7th set of chemistry SAT's, got a 680. Shit. Why the hell is this so hard?! I've probably spent 40 hours over the past month or so studying for this, but I'm still not confident at all.
Practiced only once all week for CYS. (Connecticut Youth Symphony)
STILL haven't finished/finalized my first college essay. That's just the first one.
Don't even get me started on regular school stuff. Too much to even begin with.
And too little to begin with when it comes to friends and social-or-lack-thereof life.
AM I THE ONLY ONE FEELING THIS STRESSED?!?! Why does it seem like I am the only person who is this overloaded? Are all the other seniors getting this bogged down by sports/school/extracurricularstuff/testing/collegeadmissions?!
(Now here Mr. Shiers would say something liberal and deep about the horrors of conforming to the educational system. Truthfully, I don't care if I am or not. I want to get into a good school and possibly become an engineer.. so I want to do whatever it takes to get there.)
One thing I really am looking forward to is getting the ball rolling on my Amnesty International "project". Going to try and raise money and awareness for corporate human rights abuses in other countries.. coffee growers, in particular. I'll try and get a fundraiser going to sell Free Trade coffees instead of the slave-labor stuff you get at Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, etc. Also will try and get a letter-writing campaign going, maybe provide letter templates and corporate addresses for kids willing to do something about it. It's going to be a good year at Amnesty, I hope.
