Today after handing in my World lit paper*, finishing and sending away my admissions essay for King's and finally doing my practice IB English oral commentary, I felt something I haven't felt in a while: room to breathe. I've been struggling under a constant avalanche of work since the start of the year and it feels good to finally see something come to a conclusion. Especially so many things in one day, the same day that I get over my cold. I'm not wading through stress, mental strain and self doubt for a change.
Tomorrow, I have things to do but then I have the evening off. I can curl up and do things that aren't school related. I'm determined to create a napping playlist for a time in the distant future when the opportunity arises to take a nap. That probably won't happen for a while because work has robbed me of my ideal Sunday afternoon nap slot.
One week until March break! My family is going to NYC for a few days and damn I'm excited. I've been to London, Amsterdam, Nairobi and Reykjavik but not NYC a mere 10 hours drive away. I really really like cities and in three years the only big city I've been to is Boston.
* World Literature is an IB paper that was started in October and has since endured two thoroughly criticized drafts before the final copy that finally gets sent away for real marking. It's such a infamously grueling paper that when we hand in the final copy our teacher gives us a high five and a timbit. It isn't easy to get an IB teacher to 'a high five and timbits' levels of sympathy.
Hearts,
