So, realizing I still had 4 1/2 days of school I could miss to still be able to exempt finals for the semester, I decided I was not going to school today. My first mental day! Although, unlike dad's mental-health-days, mine was not spent doing something I enjoyed (cough cough golfing, dad!), it was spent studying for AP exams. Again. I laid downstairs till the rest of the family left (somehow their morning seems much more relaxed than mine typically does. Like sitting down to eat breakfast.. I don't know when the last time that happened) then got up and got to work. I read/studied out of my APUSH review book from 7:45-10 (covering about 50 pages and 150 years). From 10-11 I cleaned the bathroom/disaster area so that Mom wouldn't have to when she got home from work tonight. (Kole came home and said MY side of the sink was cleaner than his and made his half of the bathroom look bad.. I really wanna get that on recording or something!) I then went back and read/studied/ate lunch for another hour. I spent about 30 minutes picking up my room (it really wasn't that bad surprisingly), and have now spent the past 3 hours working on the big long APUSH review (33 pages, 500+ questions that require more than a sentence response).
Now, where does the mental-health day come in? Aren't you supposed to be able to relax and catch up and destress during those days? Well, surprisingly, I have. Even though I spent the day doing schoolwork, I'm still a) in my pajamas and b) wearing glasses, and it's wonderful. This weekend didn't seem like much of a weekend, considering I took the SAT on Saturday, and spent Sunday doing apush in between church activities. So atleast today I got a day of quiet before the grandparents come in and AP exams creep up (Friday and next Wednesday!), a day to semi-relax and kinda catch up.
Now... 3 1/2 days I can still miss and exempt. What to do, what to do.
