Man, that was perhaps the hardest thing I’ve had to do this year.
Getting myself back on track with the NaNo word count was really difficult today – I was two days behind and I just got up to the necessary for yesterday. That means I still have to write about 1667 words for today but, thankfully, that number is no longer tripled by my stagnation period.
Other than that, I stopped freaking out because I have finally applied to college! Yeah, that’s right, now I have to be killed by the waiting period until exactly one month from now [I will just try to keep myself busy – which shouldn’t be too hard because we still have two weeks of NaNo and are starting a play].
Though we had an assembly AND a day off this week, I felt like there was less time than usual to do everything. There was just a whirlwind of things to do, say, think about, prepare for, everything! We had a newspaper issue meeting, T.A.T.U training and presentations, a drama meeting, were told to prepare for our oral French presentations; I had to get my recommendations sent out, Extended Essay edited, chapters read, money counted, classes taken – after school on Wednesday I just sort of jumped ship out of anxiety [hooray for bookstores!] Friday I saw Ka-chan and hung out with her for hours and didn’t go home [which made me happy, a break from the usual] and then went to a movie with Hugo-kun [Quantum of Solace was hyped up so much but it really wasn’t the best Bond ever…]
The rest of this weekend I’m going to take for myself and planning for the future. My missions are too numerous to list, but I need to at least rest so that death does not befall me too early.
College, where art thou?
