Yesterday was my first day of my junior year. I was so tired I went home and fell asleep like a baby. Today was a little better. I have a lot of APs this year as well as being in a tough high school. Without video games, I feel like I am more focused so I hope I will do well this year.

School is very tiring for me. I try to finish my homework as soon as possible so I have time to myself but it is hard. My high school is very academically challenging. I feel a lot of stress compared to when I was during summer break. People around me in school are more stressed than I am however and I do not like their lifestyle. It is as if the students are machines who have no sense of direction other than to study. I do not want to be like them because I do not want to waste my life doing things that make me unhappy. I know I am smart enough to find a way to be efficient while also doing well academically.
