Senioritis? How do I sign up?

As the days wind down, and months turn into weeks, I find it harder and harder to concentrate on being a high school student. Senior year is so different than every other year. For one, probably the most obvious reason, we don't have to come back next year. For most people that is cause for them to set their timers for May 14th at 3:30, switch on auto pilot and just make it through the year. Oh how I envy them. To be able to just skip to the end of the year would be a great stress reliever, But being me, If I'm not busy, I feel like I should be, so of course My schedule is packed. Academics is a big thing. Being in calculus kinda speaks for itself. When only tests count toward your grade then you kinda get in a bit of trouble when you procrastinate until a week before the test... (you think i would learn after the third or fourth time... nope) so then we add in the wonders of Brit Lit, reading assignment every night, and a huge end of semester paper, yay... Spanish 4 luckily has slowed down a little because the most difficult assignment we have at the moment is how to shape a paper mache balloon into a tulip (pinatas). Band and choir involves mostly getting ready for end of the year performances and government is mostly just trying to pass the class in order to graduate. Creative writing is mostly the reason I get no sleep because for some reason I find that I do most of my best work at 1 am. Now looking at academics, It's seems completely manageable.... Well remember i enjoy being busy so... track after school takes some time, same with play, all though that is now finished, and Mondays I have dance, and Wednesdays I have youth group. So that adds more to my plate... but remember I've been doing most all of this since freshman year so it's not that big deal. What really pushes the envelope for me is all of the scholarships and housing forms and paperwork I must fill out for college. I pretty much have to prepare for one busy life while still living another. It is crazy... to say the least...
Luckily while my school year seems to be coming to a climatic ending once it's over there will be a short break before the next storm, aka summer. I figure If i do all I can now then I won't regret not doing something later... besides who really needs sleep? I sure don't, but my 3000 kinda says differently. The rest of this year will definitely be great practice for the next 4... Wish me luck
