finally combusting?

I finally believe I'm combusting so to say...Friday was the start of my "first day of winter break" and already it was completely stressful. Not only did I have to deal with the agony of waiting for that bell to ring at 11:50 am, but I also had to face my fear of yet another Unit Exam from AP Macroeconomics (which by the way I am completely tired of and wants to move on to AP Government already). It was my own personal hell, staying an hour after school when no other student was on campus, taking that hell of an exam. I swear, if I didn't have the "I never quit on anything I start" attitude, I would've switched out months ago.

Besides the "week before christmas break/christmas" stress, I realized that during my christmas break, I would technically only have TWO PERSONAL DAYS. WHAT?! I know! I'm not complaining that I've gotten more hours in a week than the norm (because $$$ is HIGHLY important right now) but I just wish I had the option to be whiny and mean it. If anything, I love my job but it's just the idea of not really having time to be a lazy teenager is what gets to me. Especially since I have a good reason or two? I've been stressing with school lately, trying to juggle college deadlines AND homework at the same time. Plus, this week is also OFFICIALLY "see all of your family each day" week. I can't even go into detail, but every day that I'm not working is like a family get together day. I guess there's no point to this blog besides venting my frustration as to how I don't really get to just "sit down" anymore....

Optimistic side: I've become pretty productive and physically active, running around and getting stuff done. I've finally had the money AND the time (sort of) to start my Christmas shopping..though I am completely behind. I finally can catch up (or try to) with my Book Challenge for 2009 that I set myself up for in January (which if I don't make, I will challenge myself again). I can somehow fit all of the homework and study guides I was assigned this Friday for Christmas break into my week? I don't work the 30th...uhm. I'm mostly being distracted by FAMILY this time and nothing stupid! Which I would rather have!

Finally, I believe I can go to sleep now? I honestly was getting my bed ready so I could just crash, but thought "Why type a post the next day when you're feeling better, when you can just type it up as it is and really let it out?" and so...I did. Embarrassing as it is, this is the truth and my life has been hectic this fall and winter. I'm hoping that all goes...easier? But if you were to ask me, I'd still answer, "Yes, it is all completely worth it."
