Okay well it might be a little late in the day for anyone to help me…

but here it is:
I’m in 9th grade and for 3 1/2 weeks, Dec. 11 - Jan. 3, I was in China with my family visiting our cousins who moved there a couple years ago. It was soooooooo much fun =] but I had missed a total of 9 school days and, of course, would have to make up the work after I got back. The following Monday the 5th I was back in school and besides for my friends and a teacher or two, it seems like no one even noticed I was gone. Thanks guys, thanks.. Really feelin the love here.
My teachers each gave me something to do to make up for all of the work I had missed and it ranged from a simple packet of fill-in-the-blanks to a full on powerpoint of my trip. And they made sure I was plenty busy. It got very difficult trying to keep up because the time difference is 13hrs so I would crash when I got home from school and would wake up around 2 or 3 in the morning, but now after a week of school I’m back to okay (sort of.. I still wake up at 5am).
Despite the funky sleeping hours of that week I was managing to get simple homework passed in but it wasn’t so easy with projects piled on me. For instance, a French project I had missed was creating a brochure of some place and I was planning to make one on China cuz well, duh. She gave the other students a week or so to do it but I only got two days! I can’t believe its a week later, still nada hahaha. Sometimes I just amaze myself!! =]
Okay so the week went by and finally on Friday I thought I could go up to NH to ski but no, I decided to stay home and finish all of the work assigned, ALL DUE MONDAY: 2 essays, 2 powerpoints on my China trip, an art project, 3 packets of geometry, and 5 packets of review and make-up work for biology. All due Monday. Aaaallll due MONDAY. Friggenfrig asd;foijdfv ;sdlifj. =[ (help?)

And by the way, today is Monday, and just guess how much of all that I have completed! I got the biology and geometry done at least… the rest wasn’t so lucky. Sunday afternoon and night I was becoming super sttressed out as you may imagine because on top of this impossible amount of work that I had laid out for me, this week is also MIDTERMS! Holyfreakingcrap I’m so scared!! Like I said I’m a freshman so these are new to me. They pretty much determine a huge portion of my grade so ya, I’m worried. And I’m not studying for them either I’ve decided because…… Okay I just don’t know anything anymore!
I don’t knowww. Je ne sais pas =[ No comprende! sheebaaaaaa! I’m such a wreck haha. I’ve never had to deal with this level of work OR stress before and it’s seriously getting to me. I thought it was amazing how I got like 3 new pimples in a day too, woah, the things stress does lol. Sunday night time came and talking to my friend, really just venting to her about how I cannot handle this, I started to cry! Freaking cryyyy. School is so evil haha.

So yeah =\ I didn’t hand in that English essay on The Pearl, or that extra credit history essay, orrr that stupid French brochure, or those powerpoints on my trip (but hey I’ve got 2000 pictures to choose from AND I’m very indecisive in general, thats a bad mix!). Oh but today after school.. though I stayed til 4… I finished my art project which is pretty dandy and I finished most of this Geometry test I missed. Oh jeez but I’ve still got an English test, quiz, vocab test, and unit questions to make up. Someday, sometime. I think I just may switch out of that honors English class into CP.

I can’t handle as much as I thought I could.

WOAH and really really sorry for writing so much. Have fun reading that I guess.

Hang in there. You’ll be ok. You’ll look back on this with a lot of pride at what you managed to accomplish.

uh but I barely did anything… some geometry homework and several bio packets. I’m more on the disappointed side.

obviously your american. you immediantly assume people aren’t awake. actually theres a whole lot more world than just your country. newayz welcome to my life. i’ve travelled quite a bit though i’m only 17 and yeah my friends have don’t welcome me back excitedly ever. i can’t remember one time, its just normal at your age i think people don’t really have an appreciation of travel and just cna’t realte, is what i’ve found. Don’t worry a I think your post is just to vent but you’ll get through it. i’ve got in total 12,000 words to write in about 2 weeks, so i think i win on homework front aand that counts towards finishing school big time. by the way i’m in france atm and have been for 6 weeks, didnt do any work and am heading back to school in australia in 4 days.

so as for your work, just keep doing what you can. EMAIL/ CALL / WRITE to your teachers before you seem them in class and have to explain why you haven’t done the work. its a lot easier to do that before seeing them and it makes you appear more responsible that you have bothered to give them the heads. request as many extensions as you can even if you dont need them for all, you can then hand it in before the due date and look good. also it will make you feel less stressed.

if your can’t contact before class, try to show up to class early to explain, make sure you talk to your teachers convincingly as an adult, not half heartedly. Jet lag sucks bbut sometimes if you got heaps of work, keep straight off keep wake up when you wake up and work and when school comes drink a lot of coffee. but maybz your a bit young to be doing stupid things like that. so just focus on geting sleep normal and itll be better in the long run
