Two weeks left till school's over. It's kind of a scary thought, with exams in three weeks, and the doubled amount of work I've gotten lately. I'm really pushing myself right now, and the strain and stress seems to be building. I think I'll pull through though. I still have to write an essay about the assassination of JFK, which is much deeper than I thought it would be. Deeper, in the sense that there's a lot of stuff to sift through before finding what I need, not the philosophical sense. Also, it's not the easiest thing to research. I've seen pictures of the shooting, and stills of the moment he was shot. The sight of it was disturbing. It scared me. It's not like in the movies, like "Hard-Boiled", (one of John Woo's finest), which has a bodycount of 230. In the movies, people are shot all the time, but I know that it's makeup and SFX, but with JFK, I'm seeing someone who lived, who was known, in his last moments of life. I'm starting to wonder whether I should change my essay topic, although now is a little too late.
I have a 2 minute presentation to do for french class that has to be memorized. 2 minutes may not seem like much... but when you're up in front of a class trying to remember what you need to.... it's like an eternity. I don't like presentations. They get me a little... scared. I'm nervous beforehand, scared I'll choke and forget what I need to know. But still, like I said, I think I'll pull through. It's not that bad. I've done longer presentations before. Just not in french.
I also have a math assignment to polish off. It's a nice bunch of work that's preparing me for the finals, and I'm going through it pretty good. My class is behind in terms of the work though. We have two weeks to review everything covered so far, and time is really running short.
Science is one of those subjects, for me, which I have a bad feeling about. Although my average is pretty high (90-something), the exam seems like a monolith, tall and foreboding. My teacher keeps telling us about it, how it's all multiple choice, and how multiple choice is harder. How? Because when you read through the 4 answers given, three might sound logical and reasonable, and one might be worthless. I'd end up getting confused and then take a lucky guess. I'll need to put in some extra effort in that, re-reading my notes, reviewing what I need to.
I have to also get myself another little black notebook, just like the other, because that one has no pages left to write in. It's lasted me the whole year, and it's about time that it was retired. I just hope I don't start some sort of fad, carrying a little book around to scribble or draw in when people don't care about what goes on.
It's almost 11:30, I need to get some shuteye. That'll be hard to do, considering I'm not tired at all, and I'll probably be up past midnight. If I don't get to sleep, I'll probably be making up for lost time in school. That's not so good...
