Needed: Someone to help me stay alive throughout my senior year!!!
It's the weekend, FINALLY, and really, if today hadn't been Friday, I don't know if I could have gone on living, not even kidding. I think I've averaged about 4hours and 45minutes of sleep per night this week. It's insane how much harder it is to get up that 1 hour earlier for seminary....and how hard it is to stay awake during seminary when you only got 4hours of sleep the night before. Ya, welcome to my life, and that's just the first hour of the day! Once seminary is over I begin my arduous day at school. My classes consist of Computer Business Applications (easy, but not usually much free time in class), English 4 Honors (I'm not even going there yet...), THESPIANS!, Physics (again, not too bad, but I am always working until the bell rings), THESPIANS!, Anatomy and Physiology (not quite as hard as I expected, but we just finished the first chapter, and he said now it's time for the hardest part, so...), and last of all Calculus (doable, although I was 2 days behind in my homework...). Anyway, after the first week of school I'm thinking, "You know what, this isn't going to be too bad. I can totally handle this just fine, so long as I stay organized and take care of myself, keep my priorities in order." Now I'm thinking, "How am I going to survive the day?"
None of my classes are extremely hard, it's just having so many that actually take work that's getting to me. That and the fact that I can't ever seem to get to sleep on time and I have to get up at 5 or 5:30 every morning. Plus I have to worry about college and my future, which is also kind of a big deal. :) At least I already know where I'm going! (All I have to do is get apply once the applications are available and get accepted! haha). Also the fact that my two fun classes (thespians) give me just as much stress/take as much time as my other classes doesn't exactly help the situation. Auditions were yesterday and callbacks were posted today, and I'm pretty sure I worried about that way more than my A&P test that I took today.
Really, if I can just get myself to go to sleep on time, I don't think it will be such a big deal, I just need to get in the swing of things. Although weekends are definitely going to be my salvation! The thing that's kind of put me over the top is realizing that I have to write 5 papers this semester for my English class. Ya, that's one a month! Piled in with Calculus and A&P homework, musical rehearsals, seminary, and applying for college!!! At least the teacher is smart and nice, and encourages us to papers we have to write for other classes and applications as some of the papers for her class. I'm mostly just overwhelmed with the thought of having to do my very best (because she will take nothing less, trust me!) on a multiplicity of papers.
Well anyway, it's getting late and despite my 2 hour nap earlier, I am kind of falling asleep as I type. I just kind of wanted to...complain I suppose, let everyone know how hard my life is. ;) Not really, my life's great, but it really is going to be crazy this next year, so I thought I'd share how much I've realized that this past week. :) And hey, if you don't mind, try and catch a little extra sleep for me here and there, would ya? (If only it could really work that way...)

Ugh, what a killer schedule! I don't think I could hack it.
But YOU, you are amazing. You're going to do great, I just know it.
Thespians! Tyranny! What is this world coming too!?!?
Now, as for your Help Wanted. I'm sure you'll be just fine! Just keep in mind that you have all these amazing cousins and family members and cousins and friends and cousins, so... you can't die. You just can't.
I could tell you were getting tired when you wrote "At least the teacher is smart and nice, and encourages us to papers we have to write for other classes and applications as some of the papers for her class"
ha ha ha. I hink I got what you meant though.
feel free to come over to my house any time you need to d-stress or get away. We will be a lot closer in less then 4 weeks! :)
you're insane. And just to warn you, BYU can be just as crazy if you let it, or it can actually be really enjoyable. I would suggest you NOT do what you are probably going to and have a crazy intense freshmen year next year. You'll deserve a break after this year. :D
...does any one else find it strange that Now that Nancyann is CRAZY busy, she is actually posting MORE? ;)
aw nanc. I'm sorry you're not getting sleep. But You're going to be really proud of yourself when all of this is over. And you NEED to take a well deserved break the moment you can. (which by the looks of it means when you graduate)
And I agree with Sarah, I noticed you were falling asleep when I saw the weird scentance structure. I think there are two of them that didnt quite make sence. Love ya.
You'll be in our prayers!
