Too Much!!

Grade 12! The last year before you start your own life! Meaning this is the year you make all your decisions for what you want to do in the future. But the main thing is our GRADES!!! Our grades are a crucial factor in wether we get accepted to college/university or not! This year especially we need to keep our grades up because many course don't want to accept students with less then a 69 percent. For the four classes each semester it gets to be a lot of stress because we get so much homework and projects and tests that we lose track of what's due when and then we tend to leave stuff for the last possible minute. Hense the stress which leads to failure due top the fact that your grades get pretty bad. With all the homework and projects I`ve done since the beginning of the year, I've handed in approximately 7 of them in late because so many other projects were due around the same time. I'm starting to learn how to cope with the work overload by doing my work slowly and not staying up until 3 o'clock in the morning on a school night. But is it enough, i really don't know! Not quite yet anyways. All I know is that grade 12 comes with a lot of stress so it's better to prepare yourselves in the earlier grades by studying and such because once you hit grade 12, if you slacked off all the other years, you'll notice that your grades matter and in order to get good grades you need to actually do your work!!!
