Ahh, School!!

SOO I'm referring to two schools here. Jonah's school and my school. I'll talk about them separately, but they both have one thing in common. STRESS.

Jonah goes to school (well, daycare) three days for the week. He's only two so he really doesn't have to go. But we like the idea of him socializing with other kids and learning stuff like the abc's. It's better than having him at home doing nothing at all! Anyway, the problem is that I have to wake up wayy earlier (like an hour earlier) to get him ready for school. I guess it's really not that stressful, but welll...I love my sleep. Also, the night before, I have to pack his snack and juice plus get a bag ready for him - too much things to remember for a teen - LOL. Doing good so far though!

Anyway, the real stress lies within my school. I don't think that I get an unbearable amount of work, but because of Jonah, I don't have as much time. I can't start my school work until my mom reaches home, which is about 6:00. Then she needs to eat and shower..or do whatever she needs to do. Then she watches Jonah for me so that I can work. I really don't start my work until 7:00. I take pretty long to study for a test, so by the time I finish studying, it's around 9:00. I haven't even started homework yet. If I have essays, that's another couple hours. Accounting homework can take up to an hour as well.
But it's all possible to do - once I use proper time management. Some days I don't have much work for the following day. But I still make sure I read ahead or do work that's due later. I never go home and do no school work at all. Also, everyday I make a [mental] schedule of what I need to do - from the most important to the least. And sometimes I even allot time to the subjects to ensure I finish on time and get enough sleep.

But me going to school wouldn't be possible without my mom. Many parents kick their daughters out of the house when they find out she is pregnant. Thank God I have the most amazing parents who decided that they will help me as much as possible so that I finish my education. Most girls aren't as lucky as me, though. Most never get a high school education. Most can't afford to pay for everything they need for their baby. So I guess what I'm trying to say is - don't get pregnant? LOL.. Make wise decisions guys!
