Junior year is almost coming to an end and i can’t say I've been this stressed before. We’re about 2 months away from ending the year and I can easily say that i have an early case of Senioritis. I feel like the queen of procrastination at this point! I admit that i have gotten behind pace is some of my classes like English, Spanish, and Foods and Nutrition. I guess it was a combination of the teachers giving us too much work at a time and us lagging to do our work. I say “us” because i'm not the only student off pace in those classes as well. These are the classes that move through MT’s really fast so it’s also hard to keep up with the teachers if we start something new every time we meet. So far, Mrs. Koch’s class has been the class that has been killing me because she moves onto other things so fast and we’re having a lot of labs which take up our class time. I can already tell these last few months as a junior are going to be hectic and stressful.
Since i moved here i haven't had time to think about myself in terms of joining stress relieving activities. I haven't joined any clubs during my time in LHS and i guess that’s my fault. I tried joining soccer but due to personal reasons, i couldn't keep going regularly and I had to quit going. I’ve attended some Adventure Club and Key Club meetings but I can't say that i'm officially a part of the club due to it almost being the end of the school year. One thing i could say i was a part of was the Prom Committee. We already have the theme ready for 2016’s prom and are in the process of creating the best prom for the class of 2016. I wish i was more committed to clubs at this school but i can't find time in my homework filled schedule to join and actually commit to some clubs. I will for sure join as many clubs as i can next year though. Something else that is also making me stress even more is the idea that i will have to apply for colleges soon. I don't feel prepared for any of that and i feel like i'm getting no help when it comes to applying for colleges. I don't know anything of the deadlines for applications or where to go to apply. I haven't even taken my SAT yet! I feel like i'm already behind in college applications and i'm not even a senior yet. I have so many goals in the future that can easily get ruined if i don't get onto my college applications soon. I should work on my personal statements soon though. Maybe over the summer. I plan on applying to UC Irvine, University of the Pacific, Cal Lutheran University, CSU Fullerton, and CSU Channel Islands. I plan to major in Biology, even though i don't like it, because i plan to go on to Medical School after getting my Bachelors in Biology. I want to become a Pediatrician and work in a hospital with children of all ages. Maybe even be a Pediatrician for the military! I'm also thinking about becoming a Kindergarten teacher since i love kids so much. Anything that involves being with children throughout the day is the job for me honestly, but my parent expect a lot from me so i’m making myself shoot for the moon and become the first doctor of my entire family in the United States and in Mexico. Back to the present, i really don't know how the last year of high school is going to be for me. I have a feeling that it’s going to be one full of stress due to the major choices i will be forced to make that will either make or break my future, as well as the inevitable Senioritis...
