(Wow, I haven’t written in a trillion years.)

The most stressful time of the year has come—the last two weeks of senior year. Everyone always says, “Senior year is the easiest!” Um.. no. It’s “easy” for those with senioritis and don’t have to meet a certain requirement in order to graduate early. On top of all this school work, I’ve got tennis to worry about. We’re trying to cram in all of the cancelled/postponed games into these final weeks along with the ones we already have scheduled. We’re working as hard as we can just to get into the tournament. 

And finally, I also have leadership and such in church. I never have a weekend that I can relax and call “mine,” but every single waking moment of my weekend is for church—whether it is worship practice, leadership meetings, attending service, or leading small group. Although all of this comes with extensive dedication, the pay-off of it is great and it feels awesome to serve. 

I just need to get through these final two weeks. Get all those papers done. Get all those projects done. Take finals and AP tests, and win some tennis matches. It’s a lot, but after it’s all over, I will finally be able to sit back and relax.

I’m so tired of being tired…
