Overbooked

I knew junior year would be difficult, but I seem to have over scheduled my life this year. It's more than halfway into the first semester, and I have been so busy the whole time. Between three AP's and three Honors classes I usually have a few hours of homework each night. I miss the simplicity of freshmen year, when I had maybe 1 or 2 hours of homework a day. It's now hard for me to imagine what it was like back in summer just a few months ago when my days were filled with relaxation and scheming over how to further delay my summer homework.

Between various clubs, martial arts, and soccer, there's almost never a day when I don't have an extracurricular to participate in. As an individual who is deeply affected by the condition known as chronic procrastination (I don't understand people who aren't), I usually stay up into the wee hours of the morning on most school nights. This leads the sleepiness throughout the school day and occasional naps when I get home (if I have time before I have to be somewhere) which in turn leads to further nightly wakefulness.

I have deduced that I need to learn how to more effectively budget my time in order to have a more productive and normal schedule. I would never consider giving up one of my activities or dropping an advanced class because I love what I do and I know it will pay off in the future. I'm really only ranting because it's around 2 in the morning and I still have half of my homework left to do. Good night!
