The Busiest Time Of The Year

I haven't posted a decent blog post in weeks....or have they accumulated to months? Whoops. I'm sorry! The purpose of this post is to basically justify as to why I haven't been vlogging or blogging. A lot of you may know, I am an AP student (Advanced Placement) and it does take up most of my life...I mean time and that's primarily the reason why I haven't been active in the blogging world. Mid-April through the first two weeks of June are officially the busiest moments of my life as of right now. I've been preparing for not only my SAT exams but my AP exams as well. My first SAT exam is this Saturday (during Prom, I don't even want to get into that) and my first AP English and Composition exam is in the first week of May. Next, my AP US History exam proceeds the upcoming week. Following those exams, I have a break of 2-3 weeks of hardcore studying for my SAT II exam (June). On top of all of that, I still have finals in my regular classes to worry about and school work to get done (which are heavy most of the time). Next year, my initial plan was to have 5 periods (instead of 6 classes, just 5) and not have a first period which means I get to sleep in until 8AM (which totally beats waking up at 5AM every morning) but my plans seem to have changed.....

Recently, I got interested in ASB (Associated Student Bodies) and if you may not know it's basically A LOT of work (from what i've seen and heard). I've been debating with myself and a few close friends of what I should do about this whole thing, whether or not I should join ASB because I knew that it would just add extra stress on myself and it would be nearly impossible to sleep before 4AM every night. After a few pros and cons and internal battles, I've finally reached my conclusion. I've decided to run for ASB Historian Commissioner and graduate with the best I can be. 

I've realized that all this stress is just an obstacle, a huge ogre I'd have to slay millions of times to just get by, but I believe that it would definitely improve the person that I am. Right now I'm pretty self indulgent and I get things done before deadline...but at my pace. I'm sure with ASB I'll have to quicken my pace and work at a set time. Like my friend Martha said "We have to alter ourselves, not let the world alter for us" and she's completely correct. I'm readying myself for University in the fall of 2010 and I do have to prove it to my parents, teachers, peers, but most importantly myself that I am ready and prepared for anything that can be thrown at me. I need to be able to handle stress correctly and to basically better myself. It's not going to get any easier, nor are any tasks going to be impossible. I just have to change myself before I jump into college. It's better to learn most of these things now than later in college. I know I can do it, I just have to give up big time procrastination.

I need to learn how to get on the computer without opening up a new tab and surfing the internet at the same time I'm doing a paper. I need to learn how to do all of my academics right when I get home, instead of watching That 70s Show until 6PM. I need to learn how to do all of my studying and homework so I can sleep before 2AM.

In all, this experience can only benefit my well being and though it may give me stress I believe it's what God wants me to do. To grow up, have faith in myself to achieve, and exert a lot more effort for my school mates also. Like I've told myself before, it will all pay off.

This is my farewell blog post until after June 13th, I'll be free to blog and vlog all day!!! In the meantime, I've got to hit the books and work hard!!!

Arriverderci until June 13th!!!
