A breath of fresh air. Or maybe more than one.

We all know the pressures of being in high school. Grades, friends, extra curricular actives. Yada Yada Yada. It gets to be a lot. Sometimes my day starts at 4 in the morning and doesn't end until 11 at night. Obviously sleep is not making it very high up on my priority list (so hey if I seem a little snappy cut me some slack that's probably why).

Anyway I am having some difficulty balancing out my schedule and still finding the all essential time alone. You know when you can sink into a couch watch a few minutes of TV, write, read, email a friend back. Something that benefits only you. So where did this time go? Dance practice certainly takes up a lot of it, but it's worth it. The rest of it is being poured into projects for school, writing my speech for speech team, and preparing a piano piece for my Christmas festival at church. Each one of them are worthy causes I know.

So do I cut back on what I'm doing or is it all in my time management? (probably both)

I know everybody lately is feeling the crunch. It's tough. And I know me complaining about it won't fix anything, but oh well. At the very least it gets my thoughts out there, and my blog post can join the millions of others teens are writing about being so busy and stressed.
