An exhausting week

Lately, I've been feeling like there are not enough hours in the day. This week, my homework kept piling up, along with projects, story first drafts, and the NHS application I needed to fill out. With away volleyball games on both Tuesday and Thursday, I was left with one full day and Friday for my last two classes. Those also happen to be two of the hardest-- Algebra II and Spanish II. On Thursday, I had to leave halfway through the Algebra II test, and I had to study 36 vocabulary words this week for a Spanish II test on Friday. Since I had only one day in Spanish this week, excluding the day of the test, I was forced to cram as much information into my head as I could.

I barely finished my homework for all classes every day this week. Even though I worked on the bus ride to games, during Varsity games, in class, and at home, I was staying up later and later, leaving me exhausted the following day. For instance, I got back home from the volleyball game at about 11:00 pm Thursday night, and was awake until 2:00 am working on my story, homework, and the NHS application (all due the next day). Then I woke up around 6:00 am, leaving me with about four hours of sleep. The lack of sleep is certainly not helping my cold at all. My immune system is begging for a rest, but my schoolwork says otherwise.

I wish I could say I'll use this weekend as a time for relaxation and catching up on my sleep, but that's not the case. I have yet another away volleyball game on Saturday, which will last most of the day, seeing as it's in Williams. Not to mention that every minute of spare time I have will be spent on weekend homework, studying, and, of course, the book report for World History Honors. Looks like a fun few days ahead...
