Grey Hair.

Just to add on to my previous post, I was sitting in class the other day minding my own business and I discovered a grey hair. In my head. I am fully horrified by this. I am only 17 years old, and I'm finding grey hairs already, this can't be good. I blame grade 12 for this very unfortunate event that has taken place on my head. I think I need to do some yoga, or meditation or something, because if this escalates any further, I will have wrinkles. I cannot let that happen.

Christmas Shopping/Stress

Just as an update, I've been working at Watch It now for about a month. I really enjoy it, at least compared to my other job. I've been having an abundance of hours lately, and as much as I like that because I'm making good money, I'm also extremely exausted. I have a lot on my plate right now, now that I think of it. On pay day (Dec 21st) I need to finish all my Christmas shopping. Which shouldn't be too difficult since I have a brief idea and budget for every person i'm buying for. But on the other hand, it's so close to Christmas I don't know if I'll be able to find everything I'm looking for. I have been putting off my university applications for some reason. I can't really explain exactly why, but I know it has something to do with reluctance to accept the fact that I'm growing up. High school is nearing its end. I'm picking up my graduation photos tomorrow, and they better turn out as great as I have imagined them my whole life. I personally believe that grad photos are single handedly the most important picture that one will take in their life. Some might argue and say that your wedding photos are more important. But I have to disagree and here's why: you only graduate high school once. You can get married as many times as you want. Therefore, grad pictures are highly important.

Next, I have a seriously important essay I need to write by the 21st that will ultimately determine my future. That's scary. If I do poorly on it, I do poorly in life because it will be the deciding factor of my English grade which will decide what kind of secondary education I will have which will decide what kind of career I'll have and disposable income. If my standard of living is high, I will be friends with other people who have a high standard of living, and therefore I will be in a more upper class society. If I'm in a upper class society, my children will go to a private school that will cost me a great deal of money but will provide a solid education for them and then my life will be passed on to them.

So with all that being said, I need to write an exceptional essay on a book I haven't quite read.

As you can imagine, I am experiencing an entirely more intense level of stress than I've ever seen in my life, so far.
