Poetry Project and Current Events

So far, I think that this poetry project won't be as bad as I thought it would be. My group split up the work and it doesn't seem too bad now. I have to research the time period and the religion, economics, and events going on during the Renaissance. Along with some research, I am helping with the Make it Memorable part of the project. I am excited to get this project done with and presented to the class. This week has by far been the craziest week in as long as I can remember. The preparation for different AP tests is crazy along with the horrible news of a bombing, an explosion, the Midwest floods today, and the recent news of just a few minutes ago, a possible shooting at MIT. I think that the weekend cannot come soon enough. I am completely in shock about the things that have happened this week and I wish I could hit a pause button to just fathom everything. These horrible events makes me look at my life in a different perspective. I can't imagine what some Americans are going through right now because an overload of schoolwork seems pretty small in comparison.

Not the Home Stretch of Senior Year

I cannot believe that there is so little time left this year. I wish that the time after spring break was relaxing, stress-free, and enjoyable, but it has been anything but those things in the past week. I have two AP tests to study for that I need to pass, along with homework that seems to never end. I am only at Dunbar for 3 hours a day but I spend so much time doing things for my classes when I am not at school. I was hoping that school would settle down after spring break, but I have been the busiest of all year during this past week. I have realized that school will probably only settle down after the AP tests. It is getting incredibly hard to focus on school when so many other things are going on around me. I probably have unrealistic expectations in my head because this is crunch time for school right now. I just hope that I pass the tests in May so the classes that I took will be worth the college credit. I am nervous about the timing because I have two tests back to back. At least I will have gotten them over with early on and I will have time to enjoy what is left of spring break after that.
