Tired/Sleepy/Lazy...But Still Moving On

This weeks going kind of slow for me, probably because I got off to a slow start this week. It seems as though my core classes and honors classes are beginning to run a muck and interfering with my rest. However, today I was capable of getting over my fatigue and getting some work done on my Webliography.
Sometime last week I recieved a packet of paper work from Mrs.Peck for my intership at Canterbery Place. I was excited to get that filled out and back in her hands. On the packet it said I would have an interview with im guessing my mentor, on February 17th. Im a little worried, not for my interview but mainly because ill be missing PSSA testing that day and I think that week is the week of the Reading and Math tests.
Im sure i'll be okay. Grad-Projects going great, along with everything else. I believe this trimester is the first trimester in my whole three year career in highschool that I have managed to recieve all A's on my assignments and in classes. I just hope I can keep up with this hectic schedule of mine. Reading three different books, two of those books have a tendency to get less interesting at times, its hard. but some how, I think ill manange.
