Damn it, summer's over! That brief period of time in which I had absolutely no responsibilities already seems a distant concept. Oh, those days when I could sleep in, when I could read, when I could write long blog posts... They've passed like rain on the mountains, as our good friend Théoden would say.
High school has started, and I'm starting to feel the pressure. Now, I find myself doing more and more things which eat up my free time. It's a bit of a slap in the face, if I'm being honest with you.
Just this week, I had more stuff going on then I could actually do. This past Wednesday, I had three dentist appointments and voice to worry about. This coming Monday will see me not going to running club because I'll be at the school play callback. All of this is being done in an atmosphere ever thickening with homework.
All of this has got me worrying about the year ahead, what with all of the clubs I've dined up for. In the next few months, this is an example of what could very possibly happen on any given week...
The school play- three times a week
Improv Club- at least once a week
Soccer- at least twice a week
Voice- once per week
Archery- Once per week
Cappies, which is a school play review sort of thing- once in this doomsday week
Citadel club, where you see plays as a group- once in this doomsday week
Running for my upcoming half marathon- hopefully three times a week
Yeah. 11 events almost guaranteed, with the possibility of two more being tacked on. Not even including homework. Oh yeah, I'm excited!
What I'm trying to say is, I'll be doing significantly more things this year then I was doing last year. That means that I might struggle to post as much content as I did last year, but I'll do my very best.
Now, I'm literally fighting to keep my eyes open. They're clouding over. That's how I know it's time to catch up on some much-needed sleep.
Thank you so much for reading. Goodnight, and I'll see you later.
-Mark
