When Life Gets You Down, You Know What You Gotta Do? Just Keep Swimming!

Hey everyone! Sorry I’ve been crazy busy lately and I feel like I’m running around with my head chopped off. Because of that, this post will be fairly short and to the point.
I’ve still been going to jiu jitsu pretty consistently and, much to my surprise, it’s already been 2 months. If you forgot, 2 months means it’s been about 25 classes and at 25 classes in Bahrain you go up to the intermediate class. So by the end of this week, I’ll be moving up to a different class and going different days but for the same time frame.
Thursday night I went to Sherlock’s with Kate, Nolan and Kendall and I got fish and chips, of course. Then Friday I went to Texas BBQ and Wafflehouse again but with Jess, Kate, Eva, and Jessica. Once again, very American of me but that’s okay.
Other than that, I have another week and a half of going completely crazy and not sleep because of all the stress from school. Next week on Wednesday and Thursday I have my Drama Club show after school and then the Carnival, which has the talent show I’ve been working with, on Saturday. So basically I can’t relax until spring break. No problems there. I’m still working with the talent show which is actually fun but a lot of work outside of and during school and then the Drama Club show I feel confident in but there’s so many small details to worry about until then and I’m doubting more and more as it gets closer. Because of all this, I’m becoming grouchier and snapping at people but I expected some of it. I’d say the main reasons I have to complain are because the talent show was thrust on my shoulders and I didn’t really have a choice and also because I don’t have much help when it comes to the Drama Club show. The person who I am trusting with the lights and set design is also doing a lot for the Carnival in general and my student director isn’t entirely reliable.
Other than that I’m not doing anything. Most of my free time is spent doing work for something or simply sitting because I need a minute to catch my breath. I just found out yesterday that my Drama Club trip to London has been fully approved and that we’re just talking to the embassy to see how long visas and such will take. I’m pretty sure, however, that the trip won’t happen anymore because I originally planned the trip for last month and most of the kids have to choose between London or another trip so, by this time, they’ve already chosen the other trip. This morning, I also found out that I might not have been able to do 2 nights for my Drama Club play performances because Thursday nights in this area are not so good. Despite my comments I had to get the numbers just to prove that I need to have it 2 nights instead of 1. Luckily I did a few hours ago. Now, however, I cannot invite parents until the owner of the school watches and approves of the show. She wants to see a full dress rehearsal (next Tuesday morning) and then give her approval for the performances the two days after.
Anyways, I’m getting really annoyed just talking about all of this so I’m going to stop before I start taking it out on people. I will probably not post again for 2 weeks unless by some miracle I can’t find anything else to work on.
