Back in Time (#2) --> Back to School, Unfortunately


 Back in Time is a meme hosted here at Time Turning Reads, where we discuss main events and happenings here on the blog that have taken place in the past week, month, etc. Anything in the recent past really.

For this post I'll set the time period for one week. After all, too much time travel can make a person too sick to go to school (oh wait...that's a good thing).

What's Been Going on With Me

It's that crazy time of year, with children everywhere (myself included) lamenting the loss of summer vacation, and the terrible thing brought in instead: school. High school started up again this Tuesday, and boy has it made me busy. The best part is that it's so much easier than junior year was. I clearly remember the last month of 11th grade being torturous, with me pulling all-nighters and struggling to stay awake during school. Luckily, now that AP Bio isn't in my schedule anymore, life is much easier. I have been getting a lot of homework though, and that kind of sucks.

Speaking of lots of homework, I've realized that I can''t blog, do all my homework, read, and get 8 hours of sleep all at the same time, so unfortunately, I won't be able to post everyday anymore. In fact, it'll be lucky if I manage to post once a week (though of course I will, because WEEKENDS!). And of course, that means less book reviews as well, though I'll be sure to try and read the ARC's before my own books of choice thanks to my lack of free time. The only reason I was able to get posts up every day this week was because I had them scheduled ahead of time >.<

Overall, school has been a pleasant surprise, and while I still don't prefer it over summer vacation, I can live with it. I'll never get over the fact that I don't have time for everyday posts and tweets and all that good stuff, but I'll manage haha. Hopefully I'll have more time on my hands once I finish my college applications and that one last essay I still haven't finish (part of my summer homework). Sorry in advance if it takes me a while to reply to your comments and visit your blogs!

The best part is that I just got a bucket-load of new ARC's to read, and whoop-dee-doo I have no idea how I'm going to manage since I'm determined not to stay up reading this year. Everyone pray for me! Hope you guys have better luck with your TBR piles than I probably will! Ignoring my blabbering, that's what my week has looked like.

I just finished my 3rd week of college and even though I'm a Lit. major I still haven't written a book review since school started. I'm slowly adjusting to my schedule and learning how to everything done and decompressing at the end of the day. I think next week I'll try and add blogging to my to-do list.
I just read The 5th Wave a couple of days ago, it's probably my first non-school book since the semester started, and I'm over a hundred pages into The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon by Stephen King. Hopefully I'll have more time for reading later... probably not.

Yeah, it's really hard to find time to write a blog post in high school, so it must be nearly impossible in college. Hopefully you'll get the time to write a review of The 5th Wave soon! And good luck reading more books (I'm finding it impossible to read during the week as well)!
N'aw, school comes first though! It'll probably take a while to get into a routine (even if it's been good so far) that's the worse thing after holiday, pretty much sucks. Just post when you can, don't stress out about it either, relax! :) Seriously though, I doubt I would've been able to do this when I was in high school. :)

School coming first is what has me so annoyed haha. I love blogging, so anything that takes time away from that gets me a bit miffed. And yes, it's going to take a while to get used to early bedtimes and no time for TV shows during the week XD And thanks, that's actually great advice! I'm not even sure why I'm stressed out since I'm not a professional blogger or anything. Also, as amazing as you are, I'm sure you would have multi-tasked wonderfully as a teenager!
