The Christmas weekend and the week after was crazy and full of fun! I celebrated the holiday season for five straight days from the 22nd to the 26th before I had to go to practice. From the NHS Secret Santa on the last day of school, I had a DDT Holiday Party and Secret Santa on the 23rd, Christmas Eve with my Dad’s side of the family on the 24th, Christmas with my Mom’s side on the 25th, and a Friendsmas gathering on the 26th. Being with my friends and family this holiday season, as we gave each other gifts, the memories created before the end of the year made this 2016 a year to remember. Other than that, I didn’t really do much other than practice and gaming. I did homework a bit, but over this break so far, there wasn’t anything art-related. I wanted to focus on getting the rest and relaxation I needed as I slept at least 10 hours a day which was refreshing, and allowed me to practice to the best of my ability. I will say, though, the 10 AM- 3 PM practice hours were bad because it was too early and too long compared to our usual 3 hour practices. However, it was good that we were earlier in the day so we can go home earlier and still optimize our time given to do everything we needed to do routine-wise to prepare for our upcoming competition season in two weeks currently. Other than that, the first week of Winter Break was eventful and better than I expected. From everything, I was very sidetracked and did not wrap my mind about recording what happened in the last week and ended up missing yet another date. As this is the last weekend before school starts again, I am trying to get out of my relaxation mode and get back on track and engage in an efficient work ethic. Finals are coming up and it’s crunch time. 2017 is the year of productivity and I’m ready.

week 16 RECAP – before CHRISTMAS BREAK
This week before went on break was really just a relaxing week in itself. I didn’t have much homework or have any tests that I needed to worry about, which was really nice. I was able to sleep more and make it to school on time before the bell rang. I did more of what I wanted to do in my spare time and enjoy that week.
In Multimedia, besides the shirt and card-making on Photoshop, Mr. Cepeda gave us a chill week and gave us free time as always.
In DDT, we had our usual Tuesday and Thursday practice and had the Holiday Party that following Friday to be in each other’s company. To be honest, dance was a chill week as well but an efficiently chill week. We worked hard to do what we could in the time given: cleaning, running the routines, going over what we needed to. At the same time, everyone was ready for the holidays and Christmas. After waiting for so long, wishing for a break from everything, Christmas rolls around the corner and blessed us with its presence. It was great to see the team just bond with each other, but unfortunately, there is practice every day during break and it will definitely be a struggle. Monday was crazy with its 5-9 PM practice but today’s was chill but worse with its 10 AM-3 PM practice. Like always, I want time to pass by and get myself out of there. They devote a lot to the team but I don’t want to be there any more than the majority of the members do. If we had a choice to leave or stay, some of my friends and I would definitely leave. I would want to sit and do nothing than dance for four to five hours during my holiday break that is supposed to relax me and improve my mental health. This is just crazy to endure practice five days a week. I am so glad I will no longer be dancing in my college days. After experiencing this team, I am very much done with dancing. I’ll dance on my own so I won’t feel like it’s an obligation when it is a hobby. Three more days before the weekend break then another hell week and then two more weeks then competition season starts. There’s a lot to still do and I am doing my best to endure. We’ll see how it turns out later on this week.
Nothing really happened the week before break. Once we were off, the holiday spirit kicked in and it was an eventful week for me that I got sidetracked and forgot about posting. From NHS and Friendsmas part 1 on Thursday, DDT Holiday Party on Friday, Christmas Eve with my Dad’s side, Christmas with my Mom’s side, Friendsmas part 2 on Monday then practice that night and so on until now. I wish break is longer so I can actually get the chance to get everything I want done but time and time again, my theory is true: “With DDT, there is no break.”
week 15 RECAP
As I woke up at 8 AM and missed first period like last week, I started off the morning upset that I didn’t manage to finish my work, study for my Lit test, or get to school on time. Along with the first period absence, I walked into second period Lit five minutes late and I just had another rough start. I am thinking that it’s because of sleeping at 2 AM last night after practice and an all-nighter before, but I can’t believe how I wasn’t able to show up to school for a straight week in the past three weeks. My teacher must be upset with me and I wouldn’t blame her. Every time I wake up late, I just curse myself and wonder why it happened so often. In the previous years, I was able to manage just fine and be okay throughout the day, despite sleeping past midnight. I would do my homework and be able to walk to school with no trouble whatsoever. Compared to five tardies and a day off last year, this year is double that with a day off and ten tardies and absences. There is only four days left before Winter Break and I really need to pull myself together and show that my attendance is improving and will get better so I don’t lose so many points and jeopardize my grade. After watching our soloists perform in the rally performance, I emailed Mrs. Carlson earlier, apologizing for my consecutive absences. I don’t know how much she will believe my words but I swear these are unintentional. I am just unfortunate that’s all and still need to work on my time management. After practice, everything is just out of my mind and I get unmotivated to finish my work so easily. It felt like I didn’t have a lot to do, but in reality, I did. My Psychology letter project was due today for 30 points and I only finished the first one. I intended to do it at 4:30 in the morning until school started after a quick nap for two hours, but I ended up waking up at 8 and didn’t make progress. At this point, I feel like giving up on school and do the bare minimum for graduation and for grades. I am at a borderline A for two of my classes: Multivariable and Psychology and struggling to push through these absences and array of obstacles, work harder, and improve in the rest of my classes. Standing at a 90.3% in Multi, 90.9% in Psych after Mrs. Ahn updates grades, 95.2% in Lit without the essay inputted in because of today’s Lit test that I failed with the curve of a 96/100, 95% in Econ CP, an undefined A in Multimedia, and 98% in DDT (of course),. I am in good shape, but everything faltered after I saw the time this morning and came to school. At this point, 2016 is ending on a bad note and I don’t know what to do anymore but just face it and endure.
For art, we were continuing our gifts for Christmas with our T-shirt designs but I had a tough week that didn’t really give me enough time to work on it. I was focusing on all of my other work and slept in class that I didn’t get anywhere. When I had a question, Mr. Cepeda was busy and I didn’t want to wait anymore so I slacked off to do something else. I am close to being done with it, sort of, but it’s whatever. I use fifth period as a homework period and not really getting where I want to be when I originally signed up for this class.
DDT is fun, hard, and I am still struggling. The coaches and leaders weren’t too hard on me individually during our cleaning but I still experience the stress and pressure every practice and everyday the longer I am on the team and the closer we are to starting competition season in the next month. I am just going to practice to pass by but I do have a long way to go to be on par with the rest of the boys. I hope everything goes well in the months ahead and this year just gets better.
Week 16 has four days and I feel like Mrs. Carlson wants another post, but 2016 is winding down and I want 2017 to be better since it is my graduation year, but to demonstrate a positive change in my life and show that things are getting better. :
week 14 RECAP
In all honesty, week 14 may have been my better weeks of the year. Nothing was too stressful that it made me overwhelmed but my life has been all over the place in terms of the usual: sleep, homework, dance, leisure time, sleep again. This week, my sleeping hours were not consistent due to all of the things I wanted to accomplish before I went to bed. Unfortunately, they were all extra things I wanted to do instead of what I have to do and I could’ve gotten at least three to four more hours of sleep a night. Starting on Sunday, it was not that bad. I didn’t have anything major for homework due on Monday, and everything I did was so I didn’t get behind or what I could’ve finished in an hour but in reality, it took me five to six hours. I would say that week 14 wasn’t my most stressful probably due to how distracted I was with games, YouTube, Facebook, and all of the other media platforms. When I want to sleep, I can’t but when I have the chance to, I don’t. There’s an imbalance here that really needs fixing but my question is: where do I start and when do I start? Compared to all of my other posts, this one is unusually random in my opinion because it feels like I am just blabbering words on a page but after this eventful, crazy week, I am definitely glad it’s the weekend.
I watch Korean videos throughout the week but never found the time to invest in learning Korean. Drama-wise, I haven’t caught up to the ones I was currently watching and may just spend today to do so as my relaxing day before a work day on Saturday. I made my agenda early for the weekend and it definitely looks like there’s a lot of work cut out for me. I hope I will be able to set aside my fun and be able to focus trying to finish my Psych project and Econ work for Thursday, my Hamlet questions for AP Lit due some time next week. In addition, I want to be on top of my schedule and be able to change my study habits and work ethic a little at the time and study efficiently for next week’s tests before Winter Break.
For DDT, I had sort of a shutdown on Wednesday and believed that the team wasn’t right for me anymore. I go to practice as a chore and while it is fun in its own way, being with the people you are close to, but other than that, I would’ve been on bed already if I didn’t go to practice. I would be done with my work and not have so much to do over the weekend. I know it’s my fault as well but after practice, I am always unmotivated to do anything and tonight, I’ve sat here on this chair for a good three hours now and the only thing I did was finish yesterday’s math homework and copy today’s lesson plans. It’s ridiculous how much time and energy out of my day is going through the program and like some of my other teammates, we’re waiting to be done with the season and be free and not have to worry about cleaning and upcoming competitions and deposits to be made. I am done, they are done, we are done. I have been improving for a good note, but my mind has turned blank this week after I got home and that’s definitely not a good sign if I want to keep my grades and efficient work ethic for this first semester that is ending in a month and week exactly. I am frightened to what it will come down to since we have our first West Covina competition before finals weekend. I don’t know what I am going to do then.
In Multimedia, we spent this week to make our Christmas gifts for friends and family, investing all of our class time to making it the way we wanted to. I want to make three shirts for my brother but I am having difficulty getting the right image for the design. The shirts I am making already have merchandise, but being able to make a customized shirt design that everybody will recognize when they see will make him feel special. Not only for having a cool limited edition shirt, but a shirt that his brother made and it will give him some pride and happiness that will make up for my lack of gifts throughout his life. Other than that, nothing has been going on in that class besides Mr. Cepeda’s empowerment talks that barely anybody listens to, unfortunately. He has nice words of wisdom and I believe that the class is taking advantage of his kindness and his words that could be really useful for the future.
As week 14 comes to a close, there is only one week and four school days left before we are off for Christmas and I am so excited. I can already feel the warmth from family gatherings and the Christmas cheer. The holidays are coming by fast and I have a feeling that this year will be a memorable year.
week 13 RECAP
Let’s start off by saying this was the best week of senior year so far in terms of workload. I was able to rest more and even though I did sleep relatively early, before 1 AM, this morning was a bit of an unfortunate event because I was tardy to first period. More like I walked in at 8:15 AM which is not just tardy, it’s late. I’ve gotten better with my attendance because I was pretty good for the past two school weeks, but today was quite sad indeed. I’m glad that I was able to sleep more, at about five to six hours a night instead of two to three, but this weekend will be terrible. AP Lit work is due Monday and this unit is probably the worst unit. There are so many questions! This makes me really looking forward to Winter Break in T-23 days. Please come faster Christmas, I want to celebrate your holiday without having to go to school for two weeks.
Korean, has turned into Korean drama over the break. I started to watch a little bit at a time this week, one or two episodes, but that’s my source of Korean lately and let’s see how that goes as an alternative to learning the language that I should’ve started on 13 weeks ago.
DDT practice was terrible for me this week. I wasn’t getting the corrections and made even more mistakes than improving. Last night I noticed my coach’s frustration over me and I don’t know. My mind wasn’t there anymore and I didn’t seem to care anymore about dance. My phase is over but I’m going just to go and be a dancer. I believe I stopped enjoying it and go because I have to, not because I want to. I hope in the future, I get better motivation-wise and dance-wise.
For photoshop, the holiday season is coming up and Mr. Cepeda wants us to make gifts for our loved ones. After using this week to brainstorm, while we had a representative from FIDM, the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandise come speak to us in the middle of the week, I’ve started working on my pieces yesterday. With his heatpress in the class, Mr. Cepeda advertised how he could do any fabric from shirts to hoodies to sweatpants to whatever we would want to make. For my brother, I was thinking of a shirt related to his go-to game, League of Legends. By the champions he play and whatnot, I was thinking of a graphic tee and making it stylish so he could wear it around school. It’s still a work in progress but everything is going well so far and I look forward to the end result in a couple of weeks.
I pray week 14 is better, even though it might not be. I feel that tests are coming up and I hope and wish and want to do well since the semester is already winding down in the last few weeks. I can’t believe it, first semester is almost done. It’s crazy how fast time is passing and although I feel more free with college apps out of the way, there are other stressors to take care of such as my GPA. If I do well, I will have my first 4.0 for a first semester and achieving that goal will be hard work paid off, most definitely.
week 11 RECAP
BLESS OUR SOULS FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON! It’s time for THANKSGIVING! Heck yeah! It’s the last day bf school before a week long break and I am so very excited to sleep in. But UC and CalState College Apps are due on November 30th so I guess I have to spend my entire time doing that as well as keep up with DDT. Before I start talking about my week, I’ll get everything else out of the way first.
For Korean, nothing anymore. Maybe it’s not the right time to learn another language when I still want to learn but am either super busy, tired, or both to do any more.
For dance, we finished our Medium Co-ed routine last night and wow it was exhausting. Our coach made us run the routine four times with laps each time we finished, adding one lap around the gym. For the first the time around, we did the run through and ran three laps. The second time was four laps, third was five laps, and by end of it all, we ran another six laps, totaling to 18 laps around the gym by the end. My legs were aching and I got sore this morning and it just wasn’t the best of the best. Overall, my splits need work and actually practice my routine at home, but hey, I’m making progress and that’s all it matters.
For art, Mr. Cepeda is taking it easy with our class. It’s all click-click-click and you’re done. I’m all kept up with the material and don’t need to spend too long on it because it’s not difficult as well. Whoever says Photoshop is difficult, they are lying because it is not labor intensive at all. I’m having fun in one of the few non-stressful classes I have this year and I wonder what happens next, after we liquify images and fix the brightness and contrasts, and so on.
So about this week, I was able to sleep before midnight on Sunday. At 11:53 PM I was out and had my first real rest in such a long time. Unfortunately, that good resting time was short-lived when I had to wake up for school. The funny thing is, I was still sleeping in class when I got about 7 hours of sleep that previous night. I thought that it was because sleeping so early wasn’t normal for my body clock where it felt on Tuesday and Wednesday when I slept at 1 something. Although I agonize going to practice because I wanted to focus on my schoolwork, I went and came back, did what I had to do for the next day, and slept. Last night, however, was sort of a train wreck. All I had to do was math homework and AP Psych flashcards for the chapter test. I did the definitions the night before but I had a breakdown and so many distractions hitting me from left and right that what was supposed to take me three to five hours, it took me about 7 and the school day just for the flashcards. How ridiculous! And what’s even more ridiculous is that after sleeping at a good time, a goal of at least before 2 AM, I end up taking a 2 hour nap from 3 AM – 5 AM and I stayed up the rest of the day to do what I needed to do left, the pictures. This was definitely one of my least strenuous weeks of the year since our project for Death of a Salesman/Raisin in the Sun unit is over. I slept early and didn’t have too much work and despite the fact that last night was a strange night, it was overall, not too bad. I am thankful that we are on break now and can’t wait to be rejuvenated with all of those sleeping hours day in and day out.
week 10 RECAP
Thank god for Veteran’s Day Holiday! I really need it! And what I mean by really need it, I mean I reallyyy need it. On Sunday, I was able to take a break and go to Knott’s for lunch in the morning from my mom’s company’s free tickets. She wanted us to spend some family time but while she insisted that we stay the entire time, I needed to go to practice by 1 PM. That Sunday afternoon, I was not feeling well and like last Wednesday when I took a day off, I took the rest of Sunday off as well to finish Lit and rest. While I was supposed to get more rest and recuperate for the week ahead, it turned into a work day until 2 AM. As I slept, it didn’t feel too bad as week 10 started unintentionally off from the moment I woke up. I woke up at 7:30 AM and not by my 8 consecutive alarms but my brother physically shaking me to wake up and saying “You’re late.” In panic mode, I rushed but walked to school sluggishly, physically fatigued. Knowing that I wouldn’t make it to first period on time, I went around the school and went to the office to check in. Afraid of getting detention from my teacher’s two tardy system, I told the attendance lady that I would rather take the unverified absence than my second tardy. I know it’s bad to skip out on class but trust me, for a teacher that is deeply concerned about you, I did not want to disappoint her. But all honesty. I was happy that I slept more than I should’ve. Nowadays, it’s a matter of time before I collapse in class, so at least I got more time for rest.
Korean, nope.
Dance, it’s getting harder no joke, but the theme is really nice as our coaches came up with the idea, “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” Because we have four boys on this team, we are going to be stronger than ever and I can’t wait for what’s in store, but at the same time, I want to at least stay alive for school.
Art, we are doing Photoshop and thank god it’s easier than Illustrator. Illustrator was a pain but I’m actually liking Photoshop. Future graphic designer coming up!
week 9 RECAP
Usually I would say this week is bad like all of the rest, but by far, this week has been the worst one yet. I got no sleep and had so much work, had a mental breakdown in the process, and literally gave up on life for a good solid school day. Sunday, not bad of a DDT practice but had an all-nighter when I finished the Lit weekly homework early. I finished at midnight and used the rest of the night for my Personal Statements final drafts, which was also for Lit. Monday, I don’t really remember what happened but…oh wait, that was Halloween night. I had an NHS event at Regional from 4:30-7 PM but exhausted as I was, I arrived at 4:45 PM and stayed until 7:15 to 7:20 to come home and cram again. Tuesday was exhausting and Wednesday was the pivotal point of the week. Let me explain. Tuesday I had practice as usual but had to study for two tests that I really freaked out about. I was sure I didn’t know anything and it may have been my brain just begging for sleep but I couldn’t focus and gave up on the Psych flashcards, math studying, and the rest of life. I went to sleep at 1 AM, had alarms for 4 AM, and the usual late day time, 7:30 AM but I texted my mom that I needed to stay home, she said it was okay, I emailed my teachers my current health condition is not at its best, and rested more. However, I woke up around 10 to finish the Psych flashcards and some more Death of a Salesman analysis for Lit until around 2:30 to 3 PM, when school ended. I took a nap thinking that I would wake up in time to meet up with my group to work on my project but nope! I woke up at like 3:45 PM, got ready and got there by 4:15 PM. Overall, that evening was not bad in terms of productivity. We finished filming and now it’s the hardest part, analyzing all of the quotes and the questions. It’s due Tuesday but it is so time-consuming that we just have to grind it out. And that night, I had to finish the rest of my homework and not miss out anymore. I needed to make up the math and psych test so I slept 1-5:30 AM and just pushed. Thursday was the earliest I’ve ever slept. I did well on math and my psych score has yet been revealed, had practice even though I felt like falling down, and finished Lit until 2 AM. I woke up late this morning, but hey, I finally got to sleep straight through after a series of stressful days and it felt good. It wasn’t 8 hours but it’s better than four, three, two, one hour, and my favorite, no sleep. Please pray for me, I want next week to be better but let’s see how it goes with my Lit project due on November 8.
Korean… MOVING ON! I honestly, haven’t touched it in forever.
Dance, we learned a lot, we cleaned a lot, I felt my body suffocating from sleep deprivation, but I made it through. I definitely will need to leave practice early at 4:30, the second the team goes on break and will need to remember to email the director that I have a family emergency. It technically isn’t but Shanelle, a close friend of mine, practically my sister, and DDT leader, said that it’s an emergency to myself and how I haven’t been feeling well. Once I get home, I am going to finish the project once and for all and reward myself with a nice night of rest and nothing more.
Art, in MultiMedia, I did not do anything productive because Mr. Cepeda hasn’t really enforced anything. It’s been free periods lately after we got introduced to Photoshop and have yet gotten another lecture on its tools and all of that. Nothing much is happening so I’m glad I don’t have to worry about that class. Well, sorta. He doesn’t have any assignments so I don’t even know what my grade is in that class so I’m sort of worried but not really.
Everything is getting worse and worse and I just want things to progress, die out, get better, or something. Cross Country ended and as much as I didn’t want to wake up in the mornings to practice, I joined Drill and realized how hard it’s getting as we approach competition season and want to finish learning all of our routines and having it spot on by November 24, Thanksgiving break. It’s too much and I can’t wait for this upcoming Veteran’s day holiday.
week 8 RECAP
Oh my god. This week!!!! It passed by pretty fast actually, and bless the lord for it not being that stressful. AP Lit kills and I will probably mention it at least a thousand times throughout this 20-Time Project and this blog that I think will turn into my main one. It’s the main cause for my all-nighters and you know, here I am crying at 2 AM as I write this post to get it done and relax. Sigh, so moving on, I am sleep deprived. I have been and I will continue to be sleep deprived. However, a miracle happened. I knocked out 6:30 PM I think on Monday until 3:30 the next morning and woke up to finish math homework. I was able to finish and work on my Psych Wanted Poster due that Wednesday and still had an hour to spare for more rest. That was the best thing that happened after another all-nighter and then when Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday came, I died as always. It wasn’t as bad but I didn’t get my usual 5-6 hours I usually get. On Wednesday night, I stayed up until 2 AM talking to a girl I befriended and got closer to and tonight was the same, while I waited for stupid Math XL to send in my results from the Practice Test but it didn’t go through. What the heck. So I spent longer to work it out on my paper and understand it fully, which was a good and bad thing. But I got it done after 3 hours of distractions after Thursday night practice and here I am, lowering my average of sleep to at least four hours now. Yay me! I swear, every week gets worse and faster and I just want summer again. It felt so nice being a student and having all of that time to just be myself at home.
KOREAN! I am part of the club on campus now in addition to all of the other clubs I joined for the heck of it and to this day, haven’t touched it. I hate myself and I still don’t want to lose hope on a language I’m eager to learn but have no time for because of Lit and College Apps. Rest In Peace me!
Dance is as tiring as ever the deeper we go, preparing for competition season in January. Sunday practice was a mindful of new routines that they taught for Co-Ed and All-Male and Tuesday was reviewing, was it? I don’t remember then Thursday’s was learning more the rest of our Intro to a set of 6 routines. Yes, 6 routines. I shall die. And I honestly felt worse on Thursday because after my nap, coming back from the Korean Club Chick-Fil-A fundraiser, I got up and it felt too uncomfortable to dance and move. I honestly should’ve slept after I ate and showered which was four hours ago and slept through the night. Math homework could’ve waited since it wasn’t due until Saturday. The decisions I make after practice are not good and I really need to fix it.
Regarding the last thing on this list, the art. We were introduced to Photoshop which is our next program we are using and learning in MultiMedia class. It is still taking forever to finish all of our concept cars but it’s coming along. I think I am finished but I have to get his approval before I do anything and let him put it in for the quarter grade. He says it was okay to just send in what we have and say it’s WIP – work in progress. That way, he will at least know we aren’t chilling too much in his class and taking the time for granted and not learn another skill. But I want to be done and move on and I think I will be able to finish it today in 5th period. I should start updating the Instagram for my art but maybe I should take it out instead and just write about what I got through. Maybe I’ll make this my personal blog and put my main Instagram on here instead. If I decide to, I’ll do it after I’m done with this project and go on with the weekly recaps. They actually help me to see where I am in life and got me moving forward.
Everything is passing by so fast and I want time to just slow down and let us cruise the year in high school. I don’t want to do any “adulting” anytime soon, like please. I wanted to make this year as memorable as possible and learn from it as much as I can and got myself 3 interviews: two on Thursday – one at snack for Alzheimer’s Awareness Club and one for Mu Alpha Theta and another today at lunch for Korean Club. I’m putting myself out there and making new friends, working with different types of people, but let’s see how long I last to dedicate my time and effort for things out of my interest but not something I can put on my college applications.
Please save me Week 9. Weeks 7 and 8 were a pain to my soul.
week 7 RECAP
Why is life so stressful? I thought this week would be more relaxing but NOPE! It was more stressful with all of events I had. On Sunday, it wasn’t that bad for a seven-hour practice as we found out our Novelty theme, or Props/Character. And although I can’t reveal it yet, I was able to be one of the four main characters and all I can say is that I am super excited for the practices to come. But after that practice, AP Psychology ruined me. I don’t know what happened after but I was not able to focus that night and stayed up longer than I should have trying to study for the test the next morning. And it turned out, I did okay on that test. An 85% is pretty solid but that test really was mentally challenging as Mrs. Ahn said and so glad I got it over with. It wasn’t an A but I’m appreciative for my score.
Then the week started with Tuesday practice and homework, Wednesday with NHS crowning, Dance Battle in the quad, and my four hour nap from 5 PM-9 PM. Toward the end of the week, my schedule got even more packed as Thursday was the Homecoming Game as I had to attend the Homecoming Rally for Dance Drill at snack, a Common App workshop at lunch, and the football game at 6:30 PM-9:30 PM, which is similar to a normal practice day. Today, I have a Greenworks yearbook picture at snack, NHS meeting at lunch, and AP Lit group meeting after school 3-6 PM and AP Psych extra credit 6-9 PM then Rose Bowl 7:15 AM Saturday, which is way earlier than normal, but the earlier we meet, the earlier we leave. As a result, I can actually sleep a decent amount or have a decent amount of time leftover in order to work on AP Lit due Monday. Thank god. But like normal, there’s Sunday and that takes up my day already. In comparison to the past weeks, I realized that Senior Year is getting a lot more stressful and strenuous with all of the dates to keep track of. It may be just me and because I have a lot going on with clubs and DDT and my classes, but it definitely is making me work just as hard or harder than Junior Year. As strange as it seems, I want Senioritis to kick in so I have time to breathe, but my grades cannot fall. Therefore, I will remain sleep deprived and give education my all and be a college student by next year.
Now, getting on to the actual 20-Time Project, sleep is what I did not get much of. If I add it up, it may seem like I got more hours than usual but it wasn’t all the way through, as in a real good night’s sleep. This week was honestly too much for me, and I paid the price for working too hard and being as involved in school as I am. I have an interest in everything I am doing right now, but I’m afraid I will no longer have time for myself and later on regret it.
Dear Lord, I would like time to breathe. Let me rejuvenate soon and be healthier please.
For Korean, nope. My plan didn’t work. For dance, regular practice and I learned a new piece that I currently haven’t spent much time on to practice because of everything. Art, we were introduced to Photoshop and just a demo of it while we continued our concept cars and making our way to become FUTURE ARTISTS AND DESIGNERS!!! Yay, the excitement in my tone. I’m soooo excited for what’s to come.
