Very soon, I'll be having to read French novels/ chapter books for a set time each night. When I found this assignment, I let out a large sigh. I do think it would be interesting to read in French, and it's not the idea of reading in French that made me sigh. It's the workload that accompanies it. Our French class, with the majority of the students taking more than one honors (some of us three) had warned her that we will be reading ALOT in our English class too, and she basically responded that it doesn't matter, and that this is French, and French has expectations too. I completely understand where she is coming from, but the homework load this year in all my classes has really started to take a toll on my health.
I find myself comming home from practice, completely exhausted, eating dinner, then finishing homework or studying for the rest of the night. On the weekends, I am doing homework ALL Sunday, plus some hours on Friday and Saturday too! When I signed up from my classes, I knew that it wasn't going to be easy, but I figured that there would be some time where I could relax or go out with friends. School has made my stress level rise tremendously and I'm constantly getting sick. I want to find time where I can do the things I love, and not have to worry about sports practices getting in the way. I've been trying to figure this all out, but in the meantime, I'll just do what has to be done. I wouldn't be surprised if I found some gray hairs along the way!
