Stressed and confused.

edited April 2011 in Vent
I have been so stressed out lately.<br>My friend calls me at like ten each night because he's doing hell knows what until then. He keeps me up til like midnight, which I really don't mind because I'm up that late doing my homework. But then my alarm goes off at five, and I hit snooze til 5:30, and then I turn my alarm clock off. I close my eyes for a few more minutes... and before I know it, it's 6:30. My bus comes in ten minutes. Ohsnap. I toss on my clothes, brush my teeth and hair, and make myself Carnation Instant Breakfast [which is amazing. Just saying.], then go to school and try to not fall asleep for the vast majority of my day. Then I come home, and, depending on the day, sleep until dinner and then go to practice, and then the cycle starts all over again. I've actually been so stressed since this semester started that I forgot today was Friday, and came trudging home thinking about my paper that is due on Monday, and I hope I didn't fail this alg. 2 test that I took today...and how it needs to hurry up and be June so I can go home and sleep until two in the afternoon, etc.<br><br>Not to mention I've been working my fingers to the bone. Unless I am asleep, there is never a moment when my fingers are not busy. I'm either writing or typing, riding my bike, swimming, cooking, cleaning when mom is at work, etc. I guess my work will pay off, because I currently have A/B honor roll. First time I've had it since fifth grade, because once I hit 6th grade, I said "screw it." and gave up.<br><br>Which leads me to why I am so confused. This semester, I have honors biology, honors civics, horticulture and alg. 2.<br>Math is my worst subject, science is my best.<br>My alg. 2 grade is a 95. [or it was. Unless my F on a bad cumulative review brought me down. Not sure how far that would bring me down, though :/ I'll bug her on Monday about my grade. ]<br>My biology grade is a 91.<br>My horticulture grade is around an 88.<br>My civics grade is like an 89.<br><br>Can you explain that to me? Because I can't explain how my worst subject has suddenly become my best subject. Because if it finally clicked in my ignorant brain how to use the quadratic formula and all that other fun stuff, I don't know when it happened. <br><br><br>Oh, and advice to rising freshmen: Don't blow your way through freshman year like I did. You will regret it. I regret it because I could have done so much better. I regret blowing my way through last semester, also. If I had made the grades I'm making this semester all through freshman year and first semester this year, my GPA would be at like a 3.7. It's a 2.8 weighted because of what I did [or didn't] do those three semesters. It will make your life so much easier and you wouldn't have to work your ass off like I am now. :/ Don't do that.
