I have so many term papers due next month that I think I will be holed up in my room writing until then. I will probably have time to leave only to eat and go to the bathroom. It is stressful at the end of the school year and I know that I need to devote my attention to the work.

I had a big amount of coursework this year. I did this on purpose, as it is these classes that are going to determine what college I get into. I am aiming high and I am willing to do the work it takes to hit that very high target.

As I sit and write my essays, it is the knowledge that I will probably be able to go to any school that I want to that keeps me going. My grandma’s chocolate chip cookies helped a lot too. She is very faithful about sending them over when I am studying and it is the fuel I need to keep me going.
