These new classes for this semester take up so much time. I mean like hours and hours of reading and taking notes. Where does that leave time for swim practice? It doesn't. I've been so busy the past week and a half that I haven't had time for practice. The coach sent out an e-mail about people not being there and wondering if we had quit the team. I could tell she wasn't too happy. I sent her an e-mail explaining why I hadn't been to practice, but she never e-mailed me back.
Last night I was so swamped with homework from the past three days that we hadn't been in school. As I was reading my APUSH textbook, I notice my phone was ringing. It was the swim coach. I was too scared to answer because I knew she would ask why I wasn't at practice. So, tonight I'm going to do my best to go, but I have so much studying to do. This is all so UNBEARABLE!!!

Hard Classes, Wrong Semester
As I was scehduling for my Junior year, I decided I would schedule all my hard classes for the spring semester. My classes for this spring are AP US History, Accelerated Physics, Accelerated English III, and Government/Economics. My spring sports schedule is usually fairly light, a few tennis matches a week, nothing outragious. Later did I find out, our coach has us playing five and 6 matches a week, most them against teams in Louisville and Lexington. These aren't home matches by the way.
This spring semester has already started and I'm already under a lot of stress. I have to read one chapter every night for APUSH and take notes. Reading a chapter plus notes usually takes about two hours maybe three. I also have to read an entire novel for English and write a six page paper about it plus an essay on my books for summer reading. On top of all of that, I have this crazy physics teacher who, in my opinion, doesn't really know how to teach. So, I'm pretty much clueless on what I'm doing in physics.
I had my first APUSH quiz this past Friday over the first two chapters of the book. This book isn't like the Accelerated US History books that have highlighted key terms and questions at the end of the chapters, this is a college textbook. I spent the entire Thursday night cramming and reading and re-reading the chapters until about 3 o'clock in the morning. I got to school that morning and took my quiz. There were 25 questions andhe was only taking it out of 20, which helped me out a lot. I ended up making a 21/20. Not only did I make a 100%, but i even got bonus!!
