snap goes the stephy

"i'm tired" = the universal codeword for my life is falling apart. i find that i'm constantly saying those two words from the time i wake up until the time i go to bed. but i suppose it's true.

my daily routine consists of the following: get up at 6 oclock, go to school for 6 and a half hours, go to tennis practice until 5 or if it's a match usually until about 7, do homework until i pass out in the wee hours of the morning, sleep for a few hours, get up and do it all over again. 5 days a week for ten months out of the year for the past three years.

my school is ridiculous. they want to be the best in everything. their students are expected to be the best adademically, athletically, and absolutely perfect in the community. i can't take it anymore. they push us to the absolutely limit to ensure that they have a good reputation. all they care about is how the school looks to others. "WE HAVE THE BEST TEST SCORES! ALMOST EVERY SINGLE ONE OF OUR SPORTS TEAMS WENT TO THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS THIS YEAR! LOOK AT US! RAHRAHRAH! WE'RE AMAZING AND THE REST OF YOU S.U.C.K.!!!"

i am SO WORN OUT. last week i quit the tennis team because i didn't even have time to sleep at night. i would get home from practice and i would literally collapse on my bed because my body was so physically exhausted. i have been putting up with this since my freshmen year and i honestly can't do it anymore. so many of my relationships have been ruined because i don't have time to have a life and still be successful in school. my brain feels like my assignment notebook. my agenda consists of nhs meetings and student council activities and helping out with the gazillion clubs we're pressured to join and sports sports sports because WE HAVE TO GET TO STATES GUYS!!

that school has taken everything from me. i might as well be a stranger to my friends because i'm always drowning in homework and i NEVER get to see them. it's like i've been stretched for so long that there's no fight left in me. it's as if their number one goal is to slowly make my entire life revolve around that school and nothing else. well now you've won, smcc. congratulations.
