First Final
Today I have my first final of 5. I'm by all means not excited, rather nervous and shaky. I don't know what to think because I'm trying to stay as calm as possible. I know that I know the material but I feel as if there is so much information to remember that I will forget when the test is handed out. I would do anything to completely eliminate finals week from everyone's schedules. It's out of my control so I will just deal with it.

Keeping it Together
I have been stressed out of my mind lately and I don't even know how I have kept it together this long. Yesterday, I had 5 tests and I barely studied for each one because the way I attempted to spread my studying out didn't exactly go as I planned.
You know when you are just fed up and frustrated? I mean, that's how I feel at this very moment, yes at 1:53am. I don't even understand why I am so angry. Am I angry at myself? I have no idea but I think it is all related to my stress levels lately. Teachers just don't understand. They think they understamd how much pressure we are under when it comes to finals and stuff like that, but the truth of the matter is, they don't. They just aren't in that state of mind anymore.
You know when teachers are so annoying? I'm not talking about teenager annoying like, "Mom you're ruining my life," but more like inconsiderate and oblivious annoying? That's happening to me at this very moment. Tomorrow morning, which is really this morning, I have to go to an extra help because since I had 5 tests yesterday, I wasn't able to study for another test I have tomorrow. The advisor of the club I am in is holding a mandatory meeting tomorrow morning for any student who wants to become an officer of the club and must take a written exam tomorrow morning before school. I attempted to explain to her that I wasn't able to attend the meeting because I had to go to an extra help. The words that came out of her damn mouth was, "I don't care about an extra help." Um, excuse me? When is it okay to defend yourself and stand up for yourself in front of a teacher? I mean, I'm all for respecting teachers and all that but I mean give me a damn break.
There are times I just want to cry, and possibly give up. When finals come around, it might be the worst time of the year. I hate going to the doctor and getting blood taken but I am almost positive I would rather get a blood test than enter into the world of finals week. It's absolute torture. The scariest part of it is that you take the final and then you're done. There's nothing you can do if the grade you earn isn't particularly the grade you anticipated or yearned for. It's like everything you worked for this year is being culminated into a 3 hour test. It's like why do we even do so much work the entire year just to take a stupid 3 hour test? What if I am having a bad day? It's unfair that the final grade is permanent.
Also, my school ends in 5 days. I still have many more tests. Like, are you kidding me? Someone once told me to celebrate and be happy it's June because school is ending. How come I feel that it's not the proper time to celebrate? OMG I am stressed out of my mind. Okay, I am going to try to sleep. This is stressful and annoying.
