Absolutely sick...

Can you tell? -.-

College is killing me and I haven't even gotten in yet. Christmas didn't feel like Christmas this year, nor did break feel like break.

Usually, the first week of break leading up to Christmas passes quickly, full of excitement and preparations for the big holiday. Friends finally get together to celebrate NO SCHOOL and use our rare free time for some much-needed stress relief.

This year, I was writing college essays all through that first week up to and including Christmas Day. No wonder it didn't feel like a holiday. So many friends are out of town, and since we're almost all seniors, we're ALL busy writing and applying at home.

Usually, the second week is boring, passing slowly but at least being restful, and filled with "I can't wait for school to start" feelings. It's only the first day of the second week, but I'm STILL writing college essays. The end's in sight. Well, nearly. This is the last one, but don't think I'm done. After this, it's time to apply for scholarships and financial aid. At least, maybe, I'll get a couple of days off...maybe. But then, it'll be time to STUDY FOR FINALS.

I'm exhausted, and stressed, and just slightly hysterical. There are so many things on my mind. I have yet to start my English homework, I may take that to Wisconsin Dells with me. Even my Christmas present, DDR for Wii, has failed to cheer me up for more than 5 minutes. The worst part is, I have to sound excited in my college essays. Do I sound excited to you? Huh? ^.-

Alternating wanting to cry, laughing really hard, and yelling at my sister to STOP BOTHERING ME and GO AWAY for the millionth time cannot be healthy. I just want to crawl into the comfort of my bed, with no essays to think about, a friend to lend an ear, and a blank mind until morning...
