Stress sleep and other crazy things in a high school seniors life

Senior everything changes. Some go the better, some not so great. But we deal with it an move on or try to. Today was the day that trying wasn't enough. I had a total break down. 
It all started when my alarm went off this morning. When I heard the Mission Impossible theme song play I dreaded opening my eyes, so I didn't for another thirty minutes. When I finally got the nota toon to get up and take a shower I was still exhausted from all the lake of sleep I have gotten these last few months. The shower woke me up some then, since I was so tired I fell back asleep in my towel. When I finally got dressed I had to be ready in fifteen minutes and have had breakfast and print out my homework. Did that happen? NO! It was all because on lead to another and I became so over whelmed I felt like curling up in a ball and crying. 
My mom just so happened to come home at the exact moment that all of this was happening. She sat me down and calmed and helped me fix everything and sent me off to school. My day wasn't great and was filled with craziness and some how I got through it. School, lack of sleep, work and  more lack of sleep. 
When I started writing this post I fell asleep. Why does my Senior year have less sleep and more stress in it? I don't know what I will need to do but I figure it out.

New job

I have recently gotten a new job and I am so excited about it. Best but is such a great place to work. The people are fun and so nice, they always have a smile for everyone and make it a comfortable environment. 
Right at the moment it's the boring part of just being hired, training. Though I have to be on the computer for most of my work hours now I'm excited for what I will be doing once it's done. Another good thing about Best Buy is that they won't put me out on the floor until I'm ready which is amazing and so great of them. This means that if I don't feel ready I can train until I do. 
At the my training is on a computer. I have to read documents and then answer questions about what I just read (kind of like school don't you think?). The lessons go from really boring to fun game show type games to answer the questions. This gives me a happy medium of both worlds of how to learn something. This helps me a ton.
I am so glad for my new job and can't wait until I start really working. Look out Best Buy here I come.

Success during the break

    Our break is about to start and there is so many possibilities that I can do to help me prepare for the rest of the semester. What I'm going to do this break is catch up on all my work that I have not done for Hamlet, also go back and reread sections and read ahead to try to better understand what is being said in the text for future reference. I will also try to relax so that I don't become over stressed when I come back and the semesters end and midterms start to come to closer. I will also sign up for the ACT and for another SAT and start practicing for both of them.
    Catching up on all my Hamlet work and even doing some future ones will help me become more organized and make me dig deeper into the text so that I maybe able to figure out what Shakespeare is saying before I come to class (or to at least have an idea). Then I will do all my assignments for Hamlet to so that I am all caught up. 
     Relaxing will be great. In my last blog post I told you how I relax reading and get my hair and nails done. Ahh relaxing . 
    The ACT and SAT are a big part of going to college. On this break I will sign up for both of them and start practicing for them. 
     So this break I have have a lot to do to be successful but I will have time to relax and not stress.

Relaxation

     I love to relax. Relaxing is one of my favorite things to do. I relax by reading. Reading a good book always makes me relaxed. It puts me into a different world where I don't have to worry about all my problems or anything that is going on around me. Reading is best technique use for relaxing. I can read anywhere, like in my room, at the park, at work, or even at school and I will be taken from that place and set right into the middle of a story that I love.

     Another way I love to relax is by getting my nails or hair done. This is so calming for me because I don't have to do anything, I just sit in a chair while someone else is pampering me. Who wouldn't love that? Having my nails or hair done just make me not worry about a single thing is done, all I think about is how everything is going. Today I just got my hair done and I was so happy all I did was tell the person what to do and then I sat back and just waited for the magic to be done. That is not even the best part. The best part is getting your hair washed. It's so nice to just sit back and have someone rub your scalp and wash your hair for you. It is one of the most relaxing process.

     Relaxing is great, everyone takes aside time to relax at some point. Though they may have different things that help them relax we all have to relax. I love to relax by reading books and getting my hair or nails done. What are yours? Is it fishing, Hanging out with friends, playing with children? Whatever it may be always find time to relax!

Not knowing

I don't what to write about this week. I don't know why it's just difficult to come up with topics to write about. Even this I'm having difficult writing. On a normal free write and can talk about whatever  writing about with such ease but today I am having writers block. Two hundred fifty words I can barley come up with sixty three. One hundred and eighty seven words to go before I can finish this blog why does foes it feel like such a burden today. 
Well I guess I'll try talking about something, maybe about why guys can't notice when a girl likes them and they are just oblivious everything they or how they act. It's being friend zoned and it sucks! Guys think it only them that get friend zoned, but they are wrong, girls get friend zoned just as much as guys. I know what this feels like because I am having this happen with two guys right now. I like them both more than just friends but they don't see me as anything else which is sad. I wish they could see me as more but unless I asked one of them out (which will not happen) I will be stuck in the friend zone forever. But that's life and I can't do anything about it. 
Well I have finished all the words I have to say and have to write for this blog. This is Waiting for Life to Start signing off for the night.

Hamlet Act 1 analysis

Even though emotion may arise, giving up virtue on words alone brings trouble and heartbreak. In Act 1 of the play Hamlet, Shakespeare shows this through Ophelia and Laertes conversation about Ophelia's and Hamlet's relationship. One reason Laertes has is that though Hamlet is the prince and has certain responsibilities to marry for the state. Another reason that he bring up is about the possibility of a child being born. The last reason he gives is that she will lose honor and everyone will know of it.
Hamlet has a duty to his country before his heart. This means that even though Hamlet may actually love Ophelia he will have to marry for the safety and health of Denmark before he can think about anything else. Laertes points this out to show Ophelia that the path she is headed towards is doomed for failure and hurt, not anything more. Laertes shows this using a image of a body as the marriage and the country as a whole and Hamlet in control of the head and speech but nothing else. This helps cast a different light on Hamlet for Ophelia and helping try to heed her brothers advice.
Children, they wanted especially for princes who will become king and need airs. But it's not necessarily great for the mother who, like Ophelia would be a mistress not a wife, would be looked down upon. Pregnancy before marriage can cause serious damage to the family of the girl, causing it to be difficult to have marriage to another person. But not only that it would cut short the days of being a kid herself and push her into something she would most likely be ready for, motherhood. This advice push Ophelia to think about all the trouble it would cause to give Hamlet what he wants.
Imagery is the last tactic Laertes uses to get Ophelia to see that an affair will cause harm more than good. The image of the peoples interesting as the body of the country and Hamlet being the head able to say anything and be able to think for him self shows that he has some control be the main control goes to the people because they will carry out any action that will be right for everyone. This allows Ophelia to see that every action Hamlet takes is always watched and put to question before it is done and that Hamlet has to go after the interest of the whole country, not just of himself when making a decision.
All of these reason together show that giving up honor and virtue for a fleeting love will hurt others more than ones self. Not only do most people not have control over there actions they have to think for others as well when doing anything that has to do with their country. Also there could be consequences that don't just effect the two people involved in the affair. Don't give up that which is a high commodity easily, treasure it until its appropriate to give it up.
