Too Much Weight on My Shoulders

Today I finished the second, and final, part of my very first IB examination-- Economics. I feel as though a weight has been lifted off my shoulders... The only problem is that there are still twenty-thousand more pounds of junk still there.

I am so stressed. School is stressful. But the good news is that I only have a mere thirteen days left until exam week when I will, hopefully, be allowed to skip class due to exemptions!

Until now and May 27th, though, I still have quite a few things to accomplish:

1. I have captain auditions for my choir, Madrigals, next Wednesday and there's a bunch of requirements that I must attend to between now and then. (For one, I have to teach a song to eight people and then conduct said song in front of the rest of the choir/directors. FUN.)

2. My English IOC is scheduled to take place Friday, May 25 at like 9am. In case I haven't already complained about the IOC is before, it's this thing where we are given a short 30-40 line passage from something we've read in class second semester and we have 20 minutes to create an outline and then we give a 15 minute speech during which we analyze the passage we were given. I'm terrified.

3. My mind is so filled with post-exam mush that I can't think of all the other things I still have to do, but I know there are more.

I'm sure, what with most school years coming to a close, that there are many other people who know what I'm currently going through. Sadly, that doesn't make it any easier on me.

Anyhow... I went to the library today to get the next book in the series I am currently reading (the Mortal Instrument series for those curious) and all three copies were checked out. Needless to say, I was very distraught. But thankfully a dear friend from my Economics class has agreed to loan me her copy tomorrow, so I won't have to wait until June 6th (the first day that a copy was due back at the library) to read it!

That's basically all of the exciting (ha.) news about things going on in my life. I hope you enjoyed this litte update!
