Man. I'm still burnt out from all of those busy weeks. I'm really not cut out to take on all of these advanced classes like those insane geniuses do. Hope it'll at least impress colleges although it's not as impressive as those kids who took, oh, FOUR A.P. classes. At least my college counselor told me that all I have to do is get better SAT scores. Haha. FUN. Looking at those acceptance graphs, though, I tend to be borderline between those rejected and those accepted...do the SAT scores really matter that much? >>; She also recommends I minor in music and become a medical researcher. Erp. I-I dunno about that 'cause if I have to be a teacher or if I'll need a thesis, I'll pro'ly chicken out. big time. Well, I'll look into it another time.

Homework has significantly lessened since A.P. test times, but I'm so tired I have no energy to do the little I have! And even though I've been sleeping earlier, I'm sleepy throughout the whole darn day! My headaches have been hurting more and have increased in number. I-I don't understand.

I've noticed I get a lot of headaches when I'm stressed underneath about something and not doing anything about it. >o< Even if I don't notice I'm stressed out, I get these mysterious headaches! Hmm~

Hang in there, K~ just keep doing the best you can, try to be productive and get some stuff out of the way, and you'll feel much better :3 and don't let it bother you if there are some crazy obsessed students who get higher achievements than you! There will always be those better, unless you devote every aspect of your life and thoughts to school, and then you're just miserable D:

It may be that only those insane students can get into the really prestigious schools, but hey -- who needs 'em! :D I remember feeling kinda down about it too when I felt so inferior to those, but in the end, I'm actually happier having gone to my average school than one of those Ivy Leagues or something. It's just too hardcore for me, and I have more priorities in my life other than being the absolute top in academic prestige.

One teacher gave me some great advice -- "it's not about what school you go to, but what you do while you're there." And that's really true. You can get a great education from an "average" school, or you can get a poor education from a competitive school... it's really all about what you put into it and what you intend to get out of it. Any institution has good professors and good opportunities to take advantage of, and you can do what you want (or don't) with that.
