Stress

So many things coming up in my life so soon, and so little time.

I've got to head up to NCSSM for welcome day on the 29th (which happens to be the same day as the Envirothon state compeition, which I'll have to miss). The state mathematics competition happens on the 27th (Hopefully, i'll also be able to come to the writer's meeting). The AP calculus exam is on May 3rd. I have projects due for English and contracts due for Physics and more homework due for C&E now that we have a substitute teacher for the rest of the year.

I'm gonna try and turn things around this weekend. I need to both rest, and get things done.

It's always a difficult balance.

Sorry for my absence.

I'm sorry for not posting for several weeks. I've been busy and stressed.

One day during spring break, my mom and I went to this tea house down on south boulevard. (I think the area is called South End.) Real, loose tea is light years better than the stuff you get in tea bags from the grocery store.

I thought making tea would be really hard, but it's not. We got this little basket thing that you place on your mug, and when you pour water into your mug, you brew your tea. No pot, no anything.

I got my response back from NCSSM a few days ago, and I got accepted. I'm not 100% sure at this point, but I'm probably going to go. Roshan, a good friend of mine, got wait listed, so I'm still nervous about that.

I'm thinking about taking Japanese and Short Story Writing at NCSSM next year. The trouble is not just getting the courage to take those courses, but also to convince my parents that I can handle it.

Sorry for my grocery list of a post. Now that I've finally posted again, perhaps I can start getting back in the habit.
