Survival Without A Friend

This might sound cliche, but I wouldn't know what to do to survive at school this year. This is probably the most stressful year I've ever had. The school year had just begun, and I already got so much stuff to do. Maybe too much. I mean it. Think about it; I've been a robot on school days, now my parents always drag me down one place to another on weekends? WHOA. I need a break. They want me to get good grades (They were really disappointed in my Math.) but they don't let me catch my breath?! I was really under pressure. That reminded me of Prison Break, about a building designed to maintain the weight it holds inside. He's trying to strengthen it, but only ended up putting more weight on it. I think that is exactly what the government's doing on this country's education system. They wanted to take a bit of the pressure we're getting, but what they're doing is pushing us down harder.

Yesterday -Which is Monday- is always my busiest day of the week. I get home at 1, eat lunch and go for Math counseling at my friend's house in the neighborhood. Then I get off at about 4, walk home and rest for like 15 minutes then I go to course. That lasts until 6.15pm, then I get home, eat dinner, and do a stack of homework. Oh, not to mention that I get up at 5 friggin' AM. At the end of the day, I was so EXHAUSTED. So, then I spill it out to BGF via texting. I don't know, he advised me without lecturing. Heck, I don't even know if we can do that! Point is, he really made me feel better and be more grateful and less whiny. In fact, I was a little... ashamed. I called myself 'mature', but from what I wrote to him, I sounded like a spoiled and whiny little kid. But, him? He didn't even sound 14. Wait, why does Michael Scofield suddenly popped into my mind? Okay, they're sooooo different. But they do kinda have the same optimism and stuff.

If there weren't him or Risti or anyone... I wouldn't know what to do. And I would like to thank them for that. They've been such good friends. They've comforted me at the times I felt most uncomfortable; telling me that things can't be that bad. Love you guys :)



Song of the entry is "Survivor" by Kaye Styles. It used to be the anthem of "Prison Break", but now, it's the current anthem of my school life.
