There Just Aren’t Enough Hours in the Day

As a senior in high school, it often seems like there just isn’t enough time. Go to school from 7 AM to 3 PM, participate in extra-curricular activities, eat dinner, work 15 hours a week to save up for college, do whatever the family planned, do homework (for AP classes, at that), and have some me-time? Yeah, right.
Every week day I get up at 6:15 in the morning (which some of my friends would say is late, even), eat breakfast, and go to school. While my first class doesn’t start until 7:30, I get there early to have some socializing time/for the convinience of my parents, who drive me to school. I have classes (including lunch, and five-minute passing periods) until 2:50. This includes two AP classes, which are, luckily for me, spread out: on in the morning, one in the afternoon. By the end of this day, I’m pretty mentally exhausted. But that’s not all. I participate in the theatre tech crew at my school. I’ve been a member all four years, and am even getting an award for my work. So, every day after school, I go to the theatre to work on whatever show we’re working on until 5:30/6:00 on normal days. On show days, I usually just stay after school until the show, run the show, and get home around 10 PM. (continue reading…)
