OMG

OOOOOH MYYYY GOODDNESSSS

I just made the Facebook event for Strides for Sarah, and I am overjoyed. After 10 minutes, almost 30 people had already RSVP'd!!! This is the part where things start to come together a bit I think, in terms of my mental health at least hahaa.

Of course the whole time I have been so happy to do this project in honor of my cousin, but at times (often) I've felt very overwhelmed. Planning this event, along with all my final exams and AP tests, preparing for graduation and senior week with the rest of Student Government, planning and holding the Rock the Arts festival, Yearbook, dealing with the sadness in my family due to the death of three of my closest family members this year, has been very stressful / overwhelming. I always had the idea that the spring of my senior year would be a time of relaxation and ...boredom (in a good way). However, it is exactly the opposite. I'm stressed out constantly, always on the move, and never bored.

I was the one that got myself involved in all of these extra-curricular activities, none of them were forced upon me or required. Even though I wanted this spring to be relaxing, I think I sub-conciously didn't, in a way. When I'm productive or helping the people around me in one way or another, I'm happier than when I am doing nothing.

That said, I think I overloaded myself this semester.... Oh well, I'm not a quitter.

I've got a LOT to do by Thursday. On Thursday Marcie and I are ordering tshirts. We decided to wait til Thursday instead of doing it today, because I'm putting up flyers tomorrow at school and around town, and waiting to see how many people RSVP via. Facebook.

Thursday before our meeting I'm going to sit in the cafeteria with some registration forms and hope that people will buy tickets!!

I'm really getting excited about this...
