Thanks RL

I think I remember reading that. I'm kinda frustrated because some of the time I'll really be in a groove, like two weeks ago when things clicked with the squats or last week when I hit the benching PRs and felt real proud of gutting out the walking lunges. Then theres days like today where I barely have anything in the tank. The good news is, two of the essays are coming along well. I'm jumping back and forth between the two as I think of more stuff to write for each. And, I really helped out a friend tonight by chatting with them for a couple of hours. That makes me feel good which makes all this just a little bit easier.

Having today off helped with these essays. I'll wrap up the first drafts tonight so I can get them into my teachers for review. I have an ordeal weekend this weekend for the Order of the Arrow for Scouts so I'll be camping all weekend. Luckily next Wednesday is no school for me, so I'll be able to put the finishing touches on these essays and get my apps in. Then the pressure is off. I'll still have a supplement to do for UPenn, but I have until December for that as opposed to a couple of weeks for all the others (Early Action).

Whew. On top of this is my Eagle Scout Project. Luckily, the timing seems like the heavy work of my project starts right after I finish the apps, and theres really no pressure with the project. I want to get it done as soon as possible, but I do have until July of next year in case of HUGE disaster. Its not like impending doom. After that, which I'll hopefully finish in December, it's smooth sailing until baseball and AP tests.

Bottom line: I can't wait until summer!

OK that was a lot but it felt good to get this all written down.

The End.
