Woah man, I've got soooooo much stuff going on in my life.
These are all extra curricular activities:
-I'm president of Student Council this year. This means, planning every dance, working at every one, planning homecoming/spirit week, making sure all is going well in our school, booking stuff for fundraisers, sitting on the PLAN committee, helping out with PRIDE, going to basically all school functions.
-Class President. IT'S PROM YEAR. Meeting with our venue a bunch of times, making decisions, running the votes for food and theme and stuff, basically planning everything with the help of my other officers.
-Jazz Band. This year, it's a class that I get credit for, instead of just extra credit for concert band. That means, harder music. More solos for me to learn, considering the other tenor sax graduated. Plus, since I'm an 'older kid' now, I'm expected to come early to rehearsal and leave late. So, instead of an hour and a half rehearsal, it turns into two and a half hours. Plus working on the music outside of rehearsal. Okay, I guess it's not considered an extra curricular, but close enough.
-Concert Band. Which also includes several music festivals. Including one that is in November...and highly competitive. Which means I have to audition soon, and I need to brush up on my audition piece. After the first one, there's one in December, February, March, and NYSSMA in May, which I'm expected to play the highest level that there is this year.
-Volleyball. This includes: Practices, games, individual practices, team bonding nights, making sure the book is correct. Making plans for practices, what we can improve on. Helping my 'little sister' improve, helping out Modified on their tournament days, and with some practices when I don't have a game.
-Post Star Academic Quiz Bowl. Two practices a week, plus lots of matches throughout the year, which are on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and last for about 3 hours. It's kind of hard to explain what it is, but it's kind of a lot of work.
-Drug Quiz show. I'm a peer mentor for that, so I oversee the younger kids and help them out, prepare them for the bowl.
-Peer tutor. I already have 2 kids for math, and one for Social Studies. Working with them 2 times a week, whenever we can, making sure they have everything down for tests, for as long as it takes. Which is a while, sometimes.
-Peer mentor. For the first 10 weeks of school, older kids meet with the 7th graders once a week to help them become adjusted for the high school.
-2 AP classes. Enough said.
I'm being pulled in a million different directions. I'm not giving anything up, I love it all too much.
