Welcome back to life updates with Zorro, 

Today was quite taxing and I'm not sure why.

I think it's because I didn't sleep very last night, I probably fell asleep around one or two and I'm not quite sure what caused me to fall asleep so late. I have a feeling that working on that project with Chris and Jacob has ruined my sleep cycle and damaged my mental health by overloading me with stress, causing me to a) Have a hard time falling asleep and b) Be a lot more tired for having to catch up on all of my missing homework.

I'm also physically exhausted from swimming practice this morning(you'll probably hear this a lot) this morning I woke up at five so that I could attend practice as usual and it was an exceptionally difficult practice.

I've become so tired that I've started to fall asleep in class.

Also, Jacob and I asked for an extension from our professor(We'll call him Mr. English) until next Monday, giving us an extra three to four days to finally record and once we broke the news to Chris he then made plans during when we were supposed to finish our project. Also, he's out of town during the weekend!!!

But other than school, I'm doing okay, I'm really enjoying going to kickboxing class and I wish I had more time and that there were more classes because I really feel like I could excel at the sport.

I'm also the leader for a huge school trip that a lot of this year's graduates are attending and I'm pretty freaked out about having to guide all of my friends and a lot of people that I don't know as well as  being especially nervous about people who don't like me.

I'm not sure how it'll turn out but hopefully it'll turn out alright.

Thank you for tuning in

Who Am I? + First Update

Welcome,

Today I decided to start writing a blog, not quite for anyone to read, but more to write down how I'm feeling and help me think about things.

So, to anyone reading this: Welcome, this might be a mess of a bunch of opinions, some may be right, some may be wrong. I might mean the things I say one day but not mean them the next. 

All in all, if I follow through with this, it'll probably be a roller coaster.

Now, hopping straight into this, Who am I?

I go by Zorro online, I'm a seventeen year old boy from Canada and I like to swim.

I'm attending my last year in high school (so you'll probably hear a lot about that). Exciting, I know, but I'm pretty stressed out about where I'm going to go after I'm done with this year.

I also like to swim, and not to brag but I feel like I'm pretty good at it. recently I've been slacking and school's stresses and responsibilities have influenced how I feel about swimming. I've been attending practices less because of my responsibilities out of the pool and in turn, it has negatively impacted my mental health. 

I also take pride in my skills in both math and my ability to teach quite well. I have always had a niche in math and I have my dad to thank for that. My dad used to sit me down and teach me my multiplications tables even before we were doing multiplications in class so that I'd be ahead, he taught me the wonders of negatives and a lot of practical math. 

I think that once I graduate from high school I'll be going to school to become a high school math teacher and I think I'll probably come back to the community that I'm from. 

Now, to update you on my week

This week has been insanely stressful, I've been having troubles in school, I've been falling behind, never able to catch up because the teachers keep assigning new stuff as I struggle to finish the old stuff and it keeps piling up more and more. 

One of my projects at school is a film production on an adaptation of a story and my friend(let's call him Chris) was supposed to write the script with a little help from me since a mutual friend and partner in the project(we'll call him Jacob) was going to do the majority of the filming and all of the editing while I was going to "direct" (tell everyone what their roles were going to be and where to stand, how to move, basic stuff).

The only problem with this is that Chris would not do his work and Jacob kept bugging me about the script not being written, and since we were approaching the deadline, I wrote up seven pages worth of script. This really made me mad and I even went on a tangent with Jacob about how Chris wasn't doing any of his work.

Jacob ended up being very understanding and even reviewed the script and made some small suggestions, to which I appreciate, I just wish that Chris would do his job and not get carried by Jacob and I.

I had to stay up until two in the morning to make sure that the script was written on time for recording and then Chris just cancels being able to work on the project!!!

I'm becoming more and more fed up with Chris and I honestly can't believe that he's acting so immaturely and I don't understand why he won't just do his share of the work.

Luckily, my teacher is grading the project separately according to who did what.

Thanks for tuning in, I'll be coming back every once in a while to write about how my life's going!
