People like me like to be envolved. They like to have to much to do, and they thrive on the stress of a busy life. I know that this isn't always the best thing to admit about yourself, but it's who I am. When I see something that looks like it has any potential to be fun I'll try to join it. This year I'm part of so many groups that I've been insanely busy.
The group that I am most involved in is Yearbook. I am the "Copy Editor" which basically means I am in charge of all of the writing that goes in the book, and I'm also in charge of making sure that everything looks good in the end. Don't hold that against me, though. I can change everything that the other people on the staff do. There just isn't enough time, but I promise that this year's yearbook will be better than years past. I've worked almost non-stop on the pages and I've skipped more lunches and (with teachers' permission) classes than I have all through Jr. High with other activities. It's really stressful at times, but I work pretty well under pressure and I love working with the rest of the staff.
I'm also part of Science Olympiad. I am really regretting that this year. I was on the team in both 8th and 7th grades and I really enjoyed it, but what I've found this year is that it's not as fun without the people I got used to working with that have moved on to high school. I'm not having fun with it and it's become more of a pain than it's worth. If state wasn't like 4 weeks away then I would be out by now, but no. I'm stuck for the long haul. Is it too horrible of me to say that I hope we lose state this year? I do not want to miss my last day at Fairfield, but that's another story for another time.
So even though I have a lot going on this year I'm still having fun. I'm enjoying everything I'm doing, but it has consequences. I don't have a lot of time to relax, and I don't always have my priorities straight. When I get so busy that I end up putting my home life aside I get into trouble.
