Butter Over Too Much Bread

I'm stretched.

This is second year, supposedly the easiest of all the ones in high school, and I feel like I'm about to be sick.

Correction: I am already sick. School not only caused this, but made it worse.

I had two long tests yesterday, one of which was Filipino. I absolutely detest Florante at Laura; and it's not because it's in a language I ( Read more... )

My sentiments exactly, about a year ago.

I know everyone has problems. But it ain't refreshing to see other people have tiny problems compared to yours. I'm ready to blank out then. I can't help but cry. Sad to say, even in public.

It was slightly worse than yours. Five affairs to look after for two days. Five contests to win or face the wrath of my school. Sleep was a privilege.

It was so hectic since three of the venues are several hours apart. The last two were in easy reach.
The only thing that kept me sane was the fact that all I have to do was do my best, like you did. And oh yes, chocolate.

Different teammates, different purposes. I wish I had five parts of me I could send off. Of course it was impossible to win all of them myself. Though I only got a gold, a silver, and a bronze. I freaked out on the last two.

Keep it easy. Just compensate for your needs after the battle.
Break a leg.

I really have no idea what to say; should I sympathize with you even though it's already a year past? Should I give you some late congratulations over your win? Should I thank you for the advice?

You know what? I'll do all three.

It really does suck when people expect a lot from you in general, but five contests in that short a time? Shouldn't there be a rule against that or something? That's seriously bad already ( ... )

Excellent. Knew you had it in you. Just relax. All will be fine.

High school is a nice practice battleground. I kinda miss it, though I really shouldn't. Investigatory projects are a cinch if you did everything yourself (read: individual) and resourcefulness with a clear head.

Glad that I somehow took some of the burden off your chest. Anytime.

I know exactly how you feel. I was forced into contests too, and made to do things I didn't want to.

But things'll get better. They did for me, at least. I feel like all the pressure's gone away now, now that second term's over, and my STUPID, STUPID IP's finished.

Why is that I can never manage to get a decent score for an investigatory project. And I'm getting scared now, because I'm so at ease that I'm slacking off while you're stressing about school and people.

I really want to talk to you. It's been forever since we've talked face to face, and I'm really starting to miss your voice. Even though you've called already a few times. :))

Go online more often, will you? At least we'll be able to chat online. :D

And math, my sentiments exactly. It seems like the left side of my brain is dead and dull. Oh well. I'm right-handed anyway, so I guess that kinda-sorta-not really gives me an excuse.

As for your cold, I'll pray and hope you get better soon! :)

Well, I'm actually feeling a lot better than I did the other day, but thank you for your concern. I'm forcing more work on my groupmates (correction: asserting myself). Might be mean, but I think they understand. Sort of. Maybe.

I guess the stress bug jumps from person to person. I hope the Gabster gets it next :)) She seems too much like a cucumber nowadays, and it's really freaking me out that she's not had much of a crisis since we came to high school.

I would go online, but I've turned out to be very irresponsible with how I manage my Y!M :)) I leave at random without changing my status or telling people that I'm going. I sometimes forget to say goodbye and stuff.

It'd be great to see you face to face soon. How about sometime this summer? Can't do sooner cuz I've got some shit coming up soon.

Well, Gabster is doing pretty great; I'mma get her to check out her ranking in the batch tomorrow. I just found out mine today. I'm #20 out of 251 students XD I bet she's like #14 or something.

It'd be hilarious if she was #19

Meh, I'll go online when I have the time. I've seriously got a load of shit to fix up.

... Ohmegawd. That's the first time you've actually invited me to your mansion. I'm honoured.
