Stress is piling up.
There's a little something I'd like to call High School.
I love almost every subject we're taking up now, but everything's piling up. In fact, I can name every single subject we have, and something I have to think about regarding that subject.
But I have no time to do that. I will, however, rant about my issues (hehe).
1. Geometry
I honestly love Geometry. Why? I feel like I'm always solving puzzles, and Geom is 1000x more interesting than Algebra. Sadly, I hate Geom too. Why? Because my teacher makes his tests so damn hard. I got my test result for the First Long Test in the Third Quarter, and it isn't pretty. It's not particularly low, but it's not as high as I want it to be. It's the lowest grade I've gotten on a test for the whole school year, and I used to get great scores. Plus, my teacher obviously has high expectations from me. Not that it's bad, but they're so high that he wrote me a little note about my recent two low quiz scores. I appreciate his concern and all, but I wish he approached me instead of writing a note reminding me of my failure (and by failure, I mean my failure in a quiz).
Anyway, he returned our horrible tests with horrible scores, and then he gave our class a little pep talk. It was one of those pep talks where the teacher tells you about being in the Honors Class. Again, I appreciate his efforts, but he's not very good at giving these talks, considering his "shy" personality.
2. Shakesperean Festival
So at school, we have this little festival where Third Year students have to participate in the production of some of Shakespeare's best plays. Every section gets either a Tragedy or Comedy. Being in the Honors Class, they obviously reserved a special Tragedy for us: KING LEAR.
I love this play. King Lear is one of Shakespeare's best tragedies, along with Hamlet. Unfortunately, it is also one of his most underrated plays. It's probably underrated because some tend to think it's an impossible play to do, with all the complex characters and emotions fit into one play. Heck, I don't think it's impossible if a bunch of High School girls present it every year. I only see the complexity of the play as motivation to do better.
Rehearsals eat up my schedule though. I don't mind frequent rehearsals, but I have Glee Club stuff coming up, and possible Training Pool stuff as well. But damn, we have less than two weeks left before we finally step on stage. I am determined to give it all I've got, because that's the only thing I can do, despite being the clueless and lost actor in the cast.
Other than all that, there's Chemistry. I love Chem too, but there are certain things that are hard to understand at first try. Then there are upcoming long tests in Filipino, Social Studies and Geometry. As of now, I should be writing a Chem assignment, but I have no idea what to write, so I'll cram tomorrow morning.
I have no time for myself anymore. I think single Third Year student deserves a long break.
Too bad that long break (aka Christmas Break) will have to be spent studying for Periodical Exams. Bah, I won't spend my break studying. I know I'll end up procrastinating.
