New Thing #26: First NB

  Terrible acronym in the title I know, as it isn't one of those that you see and automatically know what it is, but I couldn't give away too much in the title though!

  Today I had my first semi-nervous breakdown of the year (there is your "NB"). It kind of built up over the day and ended at the year assembly after lunch. I can't believe how many tests, assessments, exams, assignments and the amount of homework we have over the course of the year. I know it is partly my fault, as I am doing 6 WACE subjects (the highest amount of university-entrance subjects you can take), but over two hours homework on the second night of the school year is INSANE!

  One of my friends ( he is the year above me ) prepared me yesterday morning for the likely hood that I would freak out somewhat by the end of the day, and I was proud that I didn't. But I obviously saved it for today... I can't see how I can balance:

• debating
• public speaking competitions
• Ball committee
• Youth Parliament
• work
• 6 WACE (chem, french, English lit, politics and law, modern history and french)
• etc, etc

  But I'll be able to do it..... I hope.

  Souhaitez moi bonne chance
