And so it begins...

I can't believe the first week of school has already come and gone and the second week is halfway over. I finally feel like I am getting back in the groove and I am no where near as exhausted as I was last week. I am ready to really get going though because no matter how used to my schedule I am right now I am not where I need to be as far as getting stuff done. If I think about it too long I am completely overwhelmed and wonder how I am going to make it through this year.
I am a person who likes to be busy and in charge of everything that I do. It was my idea to start a school paper at ACA this year and since it was my idea it only made sense that I was going to be in charge of it. School started August 11, the first issue is set to come out September 2 and it has to be submitted to the press by August 26 and I had to train all my staffers on newswriting style. You do the math there...that would be 12 days into school before I have to publish a paper. A little stressful to say the least! I know it is all going to work out, just one step at a time. Also, we are trying to get the yearbook started in the middle of all of this, because if I  haven't mentioned it before the yearbook staff and newspaper staff are the same. Fun, huh? Not to mention that I am a Junior class sponsor this year, but I haven't really had to do anything with that yet and I have a GREAT chairperson that is in charge :)
Other than school I haven't done much of anything else. The weekend was spent running errands and getting ready for this week. I am hoping to get ahead this week so I can spend this weekend with Lindsey K going to the movies or something. Believe it or not, my best friend lives 1.5 miles from me ( just across the bypass) and we see each other at most, once a month. The last time I saw her was 3 weeks ago on a Saturday night when she came over for dinner so we are due for a date!
