Fall Break

Ever since I got my job in August I have been feeling stressed all of the time. Right now the only benefit is the extra cash I have, but with school, FFA, three Orchestras and my job I have not been able to relax at all. Maybe I'll get a few hours here and there, but otherwise all I'm doing is working. I thought my Senior year wouldn't get stressful until the last few months, but boy was I wrong.

So it's no surprise that I was excited to start my first ever Fall Break. Well, let me tell you it sure didn't feel like a break. I went to Chicago for five days - not for fun - but to go to my brothers Naval Graduation from boot camp. While it was better than working or going to school, I was still waking up at six every morning. I never should be up at six in the morning if I'm on break. Then when I get back from Chicago at midnight, feeling Jet-lagged and have to work in the morning. Every day after that I was working, and the one day I wasn't working I was catching up on all my homework, at least I slept in that day.

Now that school is back in, I’m praying that my teachers will decide not to do a lot of work while I am gone for a week competing in the National FFA Convention.  Which by the way, I am completely stressing over.

So yeah, Fall Break was a BLAST.
