Dealing with health issues on top of school

Both Jaymie and I are experiencing health issues as of late. It's really hard to care about school at all while this is happening. Like I have no motivation to do work. And it sucks. -wtf Alice 

Boo!

I'm back! It's been over a month since our (my) last post. School, well life in general, has been hectic...though I still manage to procrastinate immensely. Anyway, I just wanted to get something down to hold down the loud masses of readers we have on here. I'll write more close to/after Halloween! Stay spooky! - Alice 

Sick

Being home sick is the best and the worst... On one hand you get to sleep and watch tv and chill but on the other you feel like shit. On one hand you miss school/work/soccer but on the other hand you have a ton of work to makeup. Ugh. I feel gross. That is all.

School...

It's that time of year again....back to school *millions of children and teenagers' cries are heard throughout the world*.  As usual the beginning of summer went by slowly, until we hit July which went by in a flash, and then August moseyed along at a good pace, and now we're here...September first. Back to school means many things to many people, some have a positive outlook on it, while others dread it like it's the second coming of the plague. Personally, I fall somewhere in the middle (although I lean more towards the plague option). Going back to school means school shopping, seeing friends, learning new things, and also getting back to a somewhat normal schedule. Unfortunately, for me, school also means lots of stress, lots of work, not enough sleep, seeing people I don't like (yay for social anxiety), mental break downs, and general chaos at times. Being the realist that I am, I try to balance out these two things...even doing this the feeling of impending doom never seems to go away. Take right now for instance, I have butterflies in my stomach for school tomorrow, but whether they come out of fear or out of excitement I do not know for sure. What I'm trying to get to here, is the fact that yes, going back to school sucks on a whole lot of levels, but, it can also be really fun and exciting. So I advise you to follow in my (tentative) footsteps in trying to view going back to school holistically, rather then seeing it as the end of all days. Over and out - A butterfly filled Alice

Alice update

Not that any of you ( if there even is a collective 'you') care, but I MADE THE VARSITY TEAM!!!! 😁🎉😆 Also, this summer APUS work is actually goin to be the death of me. That is all. - Yet again stressed Alice

Summer schoolwork...aka death

Being the procrastinator that I am, I've basically saved 90% of my school work for the last 5 days of summer. I'm super stressed about it. I have to finish a book, then read like 5 chapters of a book an write an essay on it. Oh! I also have to like go back and fill in questions I didn't get from my textbook work. So basically I'll be reading/ writing until the day I go back (Sept. 2). I'm so stressed. Ugh. So the moral of this story is... When you have a whole bunch of work to do and you have a ton of free time, do the work in that free time before your schedule gets crazy. Alright I have to go read. Woohoo. - A very bad student Alice 

Preseason cont.

So my whole body hurts even more than yesterday if that's even possible. Also my  potential coach called me out for my mistake in front of everyone so that was great. I have 4 more hours of soccer today and I honestly might die. That is all. - A very tired and dissapointed Alice
