<p>I was in the orchestra for the school musical this past Monday. I had loads of fun doing it, but now, boy have I got problems...
Basically, as I go to a commuter school 50 miles from home, there is no such animal as "after-school," which meant that all practices for the musical were during school time. Most practices were schoolwide, so that people wouldn't miss classes and wouldn't need to make up work, but this year, because there aren't as many musicians as usual (I go to a very small school), you could be in both orchestra and another part of the musical (like dance, ensemble, drama, etc.) and therefore orchestra practices were done alongside class, meaning that we would miss the class. Since I was only in orchestra, I was placed in every song, unlike people in multiple things, who were each placed in one song and thus only missed approximately one class per day. As I was at all of the out-of-class rehearsals, I am now a few weeks behind on 99% of my work, and I'M DROWNING!
Luckily, they pushed off tests until the musical was over, but now I've got loads- I missed a lot of math and now I need to make it up before I take the test on Tuesday (it was actually last Wednesday but I skived off school in order to make up all the stuff I missed); I missed Hardy Weinberg in AP Bio and now I need to teach it to myself and do a ten-page packet of gibberish problems; I haven't been in English since I don't know when, and I now need to read the entire Hamlet and write a journal on it by Thursday; I am two DBQs behind in APUSH right now; and the list goes on and on.
I was supposed to meet my principal on Thursday to discuss what to do, but she had a family emergency and left school early; due to Purim this weekend, we go back to school on Tuesday, when everything's due.
Honestly, if anyone's braved out this whole tl;dr post and is wondering why I mentioned all this, really, I don't know. It's somewhat of a vent, somewhat of a plea for advice- really, if you have ANYTHING helpful for me, I really appreciate it.</p>
<p>Take a deep breath, calm down. You’ll get it worked out, I’m sure your teachers understand and will work with you.</p>
<p>Don’t panic. Make a list and prioritize it. You have all Sunday and Monday to get back on track. You can do it.</p>
