TOO MUCH WORK!


Question Posted Wednesday May 4 2005, 8:07 pm

I think I have too many extra-curricular activities, and it's ruining my fun and my life. I might be overreacting a little, bit it feels that way to me.
Every single week, I have two clubs that meet on the same day, so I have to alternate and try to fix whatever I land on to make sense more. Just now was the final blow- My unimportant dress rehearsal for West Side Story where I have a semi-main part (not in every scene) is on the same day as our class field trip to Six Flags, and my mom is making me stay home to go to my rehearsal! I'm really upset and my parents are yelling at me to get out of my "stupid funk" but I just feel worse and worse because it feels like all my friends are going to have an awesome time except for me, who is going to be sitting at home and going to a stupid play rehearsal! I even tried talking to the director, but she said it was mandatory that I attend and if I don't there will be serious issues with the play running. I don't know if it's selfish to want to skip the rehearsal after what she said, but I feel so horrible about not going on our class trip. What do I do, and is there anything that will make me feel any better?

Tie up whatever obligations you have to all these activities. Then pick the ones that you dearly love. Do those and quit the rest. They may all be fun but, you do need time to just do nothing too. :)

Make the best of the play, and do something even more fun afterwards. You got yourself into all of it you need to deal with it. I know how you feel trust me I'm a nerd, atleast you get to do all of those things. I would kill for a role in the west side story, or in any play in general even if it is a crappy part I'd take it and preform it to the fullest. I think you feel alittle bit overwhelmed with everything. NOT TO WORRY schools almost over and those clubs are going to vanish over the summer. and yeah sixflags is gonna be here..forever T_T =)

Well six flags isn't going anywhere, so you can always go again. and you made a committement to be in the play, they are counting on you. It is not often that you get a chance to act in a play. The weekend the play is given will be a wonderful weekend. You and your friends who are in the play will be getting applause and flowers and having parties each night, especially the after play party. Your friends on the class trip won't get to go to those parties, they won't get to dress up, and they won't be getting applause from crowds and crowds of people. so you go girl! and to sort of make it better. Tell your mom and dad that you will do your best to do a good job with the play, and if so, would they mind taking you and a few friends to six flags this summer, as soon as school is out. And if you are sweet and understanding, and you get out of your funk....they may just agree.
