AHH!

This perfectly describes how I am feeling right now. Completely overwhelmed. I might be going crazy, so be warned. School is very very busy at the moment, and I'm not sure when it is going to let up. I have way more homework than I ever anticipated, and the homework itself takes forever to complete. For instance, my math class is just ridiculous. It literally took me two and a half hours to complete my homework that is due today. 2 1/2 hours! I have to draw pictures and write sentences. It's just so tedious and if I don't do it right then I get points taken away. I need those dang points, because we all know I'm terrible at math and will probably bomb the first test. It's not that I don't understand what we're doing, I totally do. Elementary math is a very time consuming subject, because I have to write out teacher solutions with bar diagrams and whatnot. It's crazy ridiculous how many trees I'm going to murder this year with the amount of paper I will most definitely go through. In my other classes I have a lot of reading. My history class has us read about 30 pages a night on average. I don't even read for my child development class, because I once was a child and know exactly how I developed, so there. Luckily I don't have to do anything for swimming class. I just bust my butt to get there on time every day and then play in the pool. We got to wear flippers yesterday! I pretended to be the Ariel from the Little Mermaid when we would be at the deeper end of the lane. I would use my flippers to dolphin kick and keep myself above the water instead of clinging onto the side of the pool. It was fun! Everyone probably thinks I'm a weirdo, but I'm comfortable with that since I am fairly weird. Or maybe just a goofball. Who knows!
Another reason why I'm starting to really worry: I have a new job. I am now an associate at Panera Bread! Yippee!! I love Panera's food, and now that I have this job I will probably gain like 50 bajillion pounds. I feel like it's a little bit worth it! Plus it's extra money. I'm just worried that on top of all the work I have to do for school, having a job will make it even more difficult. I don't want to fall behind in my studies. Or worse, not sleep. Grades are so important to me, especially now that I'm trying to get into the School of Ed here at IU. Add on my volunteering at the Bloomington Animal Shelter and voila! A recipe for some serious damage. I just want to be able to do all of these things with balance and with as little drama as possible. I want to still have time to hang out with my friends and boyfriend. I want to cook and keep my room clean. How can I do all of these important things without losing my mind? I'm trying to stay as organized as possible, but will it be enough?
