Recently, my brain's been resembling a chaotic plate of spaghetti. Literally every moment of the day, I have a million things running through my head. I sit in class making mental and physical lists. I sit in student council and make lists. And then I come home and make more lists. Big general lists, small detailed lists, lists of things to do, lists of people, lists of people to talk to, lists of things and lists of homework (Yeah, this is what I've become. I'm making a list of the lists I make). And it's so frustrating when I come home, and I realize that I've forgotten to do something. Not just any something - something which I've made post-it notes for, mental notes for and highlighted, bold, exclamation marked, and underlined words for. And sometimes, there's just nothing I can do about it, but other times, I can. The only catch is that it may result in a frantic search for an email, scrambling to send out messages which people may not even read, waking up extra early or something ridiculous like being in two places at once. But if it's possible, I'll try.
The one thing that has made me really appreciative though are the people who see how hard we're trying. They step up, volunteer and are actually willing take a load off our backs. They don't do things because they're asked to. They do it because they want to. It makes me want to give gold stars all around. People always shock and amaze me, and they'll probably continue to for the rest of my life.
