Wow! These past few weeks have been so stressful because we are getting close to the end of the school year. That means I have to start working hard to study for finals. On top of that, I'm currently in crunch-time for Inside Out Theatre's performance of In the Heights, on Sunday, May 13th! The show has been coming along SO well, and that makes me really happy because I was so excited to do this show and my dream came true! We have been rehearsing every Sunday since January from 1:30 PM-8 PM! For those who can't count, that's 7 and a half hours! Sometimes it gets frustrating, but 98% of the time, I'm so happy to commit that much time to it! I get to see my friends and perform in one of my favorite shows!

Aside from 7 and a half hour rehearsals, I've been LOADED with homework and tests/quizzes! As of this blog, I have a math test, and English quiz, and an essay all in one day: TOMORROW!!!! Let me break down my situation in each class.
Math- TO start, I am NOT a mathematician in the slightest! The math class I'm in right now is Analysis of Functions/Trigonometry, aka the hardest math class I've ever taken! This year, my average math grade is a 77%. To most people that may seem like an average grade, but to me, that is NOT. a good grade to have. I've always done very well in school. I get B's and A's regularly and it's very uncommon for me to get lower than a B, but this year in math has been a struggle and a half! SO yea, I have a math test tomorrow on logarithmic functions. I'm not too worried though, because logs and trigonometry (sine, cosine, and tangent) have always come easily for me. My highest math grade this year was an 85%, and that's because of trigonometric functions!
English- I actually really like my English class this year because we are reading books that are actually interesting! Even though a lot of people in my class are morons who don't do their own work (which irks me SO MUCH), I do my own work and my teacher LOVES me for it! Whenever she comes around to check our homework, she just glances at mine and gives me a 100%! I do my homework every time because the books she picks out are nothing like what teachers usually make you read! We read a book at the beginning of the year called The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd, and I loved it so much, I forced my mom to read it! Currently, we are reading a book called The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien. This book is a Vietnam War memoir and it has a whole lot of interesting stories in them! I just finished a really long chapter (around 30 pages) so now I have to complete some questions on it. We are having a quiz on the chapter tomorrow, but I feel like I'll do well on it!
Media Studies- We are currently filling out what is called an Audience and Institutions (A&I) chart to prepare us for our Cambridge final exam on the 23rd. These are so stressful, because I always want to complete them more thoroughly than I should. Tomorrow, we are using the information we gathered (this time on printed media) and writing a practice A&I essay. These are always so stressful because I always worry about what happens if I get writer's block and can't think of anything. But, they usually turn out fine, so I'm hoping nothing is different this time!
That's all the stress I have today! Check back tomorrow to hear me vent about History and my upcoming Sign Language Club event: Silent Ice Cream Parlor!!!😬👍🏻
