High school is so LARGE. There are so many sports teams, clubs, extracurricular activities that you can be involved in, I don't know what to choose. Like the complete overachiever I am, I scouted out last year's list of clubs, and the ones that I was REALLY interested in, were clashing on the dates. Of course, one can hope that they will change the dates, but that is a rather futile thought.

It is only about two weeks in, and I'm already worrying that I might be stretching myself too thin. In my old school, in my last year, and in my old-old school, during ALL my years there, I would try to volunteer too much, do too much, and try to achieve too much, that my teachers would often say, "Cindy, slow down. You can't do all that at once."

For some reason, since I was a little child, I've always wanted to do the most, experience the most, achieve the most. I wanted to do so much, and accomplish things early so I could "get an advantage in life", as the saying goes. I feel that maybe my whole life I've been striving too hard, so I want to check that in high school, and make sure I don't do so much I fall behind on my work.
