My brain has yet to unwind...

Hey Internet. I thought I'd start my first blog about how things currently are in my life. For all of you who don't no me, nice to meet you. I'm Rachael, a 13 year old girl who attends public middle school. This week is going to be a VERY busy one for me. So question is, how do I get everything done? That's what I'm trying to figure out right now. Lol. Here's what my homework looks like tonight:


Tuesday: English: Rough Drafts for our three fourths of our grade biography project which will be due tomorrow in class along with the Works Cited sheet. Math: Career Projects are definitely something to think about. Also, I still need to catch up on the work I missed from a couple weeks ago. Daily homework problems as well. Social Studies: Chapter test is coming up sometime this week. Also we had 2 quizzes today in class on things we went over JUST YESTERDAY and FRIDAY! They were ridiculously hard and for a grade! We weren't even   warned either. Tomorrow, were going to have ANOTHER one on the stuff that was assigned for homework. Just what I need...added stress! Science: Animations. Art: Three sketchbook assignments to work on.


And that's just academically! Here's what else I have theses next weeks:
WEDNESDAY: 3:30pm-5:30pm First Cheer Leading Tryouts Clinic 7:00pm-7:45pm Private Cheer Leading Lesson with Erica :) THURSDAY: 7:00pm-7:45pm Private Cheer Leading Lesson with Erica :) FRIDAY: 3:30pm-5:30pm Second Cheer Leading Tryouts Clinic WEDNESDAY: 4:45pm-5:15pm Private Cheer Leading Lesson THURSDAY: 3:30pm-5:30pm Review Day Of Cheers, Jumps, and Dance for Tryouts 7:00pm-7:45pm Private Cheer Leading Lesson FRIDAY: 3:30pm-6:00pm(usually longer) Cheer Leading Tryouts




So yes, I've got a lot on my plate this week. And the worst thing that ties into all this? My family and my stress. I'm not gonna lie, I love my family to death, but sometimes that don't support me in the way I need it. I'm really nervous that my mom is going to be EXTREMELY upset if I don't make Cheer Leading because each private lesson (I've been taking them once a week since February, except these two weeks, I'm cramming times in as you can see above) costs $56.75. It'll be a lot of her money gone to waste for nothing. Also, tryouts are extremely difficult, based on the odds. Roughly sixty girls are trying out to be an 8th grade Cheerleader including myself. And how many make it? EIGHT. I did the math....that's a 2/15 chance. Would you bet that kind of money on a 2/15 chance? I just don't know... It's a ton of pressure. I'm hoping for the best and all but it's hard not to get my hopes up. So here comes my first tip that I live by: Everything happens for a reason. That's something I truly believe in life. With that, I also remind myself: Never give up on your dreams. So before I feel asleep last night and was saying my prayers, one thing I asked for was this. To be guided throughout my week by God and to learn how to stop saying mean things about people. Today, I could see it starting(even though I slipped a couple of times). And for that, I'm very thankful for. :)
