Chaotic Week

Well. I am writing this because I am preparing for the worst of what will happen today and tomorrow. Boy have I chosen the worst night to experience insomnia. I am pretty sure that I did not fall asleep until two o' clock in the morning. This is absolutely terrible. I have a history test and a pre-calculus quiz today. I am hoping for the best that I am prepared enough to do well on one (most likely the history test). Tomorrow is going to be Friday, I am going to have a physical education test on a worksheet about bones we received on Monday and I have a chemistry test about a topic we have covered for only a week. My chemistry teacher just told my class yesterday (Wednesday) that the test was going to be on Friday. Normally he gives us a heads up a week before an event (such as a test or a lab). Uhhhh. Why could I not sleep? This is bad. I only got four or maybe even less hours. Maybe it has something to do with all this stress. And to top it all off, this crappy, unpredictable weather is not helping my mood. And to make it even worse, my whole family (including me) have an eye appointment to go to after school. You all know what that means. I will be working late into the night to prepare myself for the tests comming up on Friday (tomorrow). I just hope that I can fall asleep tonight.

Oh yea. I almost forgot to mention that I have to read about a hundred more pages in my reading group book by next week. It is called Parable of the Talents by Octavia E. Butler. The book is somewhat interesting. It is a darn shame that I am a pretty slow reader. I am only forty pages through this four hundred page or more behemoth, which means that I have only taken a small glimpse of what is yet to come. Currently, all that I know is that the story is about a girl (or was it her mother) who lives in a post-apocalyptic world of the not so distant future (around 2030 A.D.). I do not really know what caused the Apocalypse, but the book did mention something about world-wide natural and economic disasters occurring at the same time, and this medicine that killed a lot of people and left their children with terrible mental (and possibly even physical) ailments.

Oh well. All I can hope for is that I can keep my grades up. That is all that matters in the eyes of my parents. GRADES, GRADES, GRADES!!! Then after that I go to a good college. And then what? I have no idea what I want to do with my life. Forget it. All that I want to worry about now is the present. The distant future scares me. I hope that the weekend will make up for the crap that I have to deal with this week. It rarely ever does. But, last weekend was amazing. I made some new friends/acquaintances on Saturday. And on Sunday, I had a pretty good slot car session. It is a small hobby of mine. I think next week I will blog about it.
