I am such a frickin' idiot

I can't believe I forgot.

Apparently, last Saturday was Tavis's (fellow Boy Scout) Court of Honor. I wasn't required to attend, but I wanted to because we had so much fun at summer camp this past summer.

Saturday, Feb. 21 came and passed. And I was completely oblivious to this. All I was focusing on was Project B, and Project B only. For that day, nothing else mattered to me.

Now I might never see Tavis again. All because of me throwing everything aside just for one class.

People say that you must make sacrifices when taking more demanding sacrifices. That's true, but the REAL question is, "What will you sacrifice? And what may you unintentionally put aside?"

Now that I think of it, taking AP bio has forced me to put aside a lot of things that used to matter. I'm not saying that it shouldn't; my free time was going to go away eventually. But I let the class, and school itself, take control of my life almost completely. I'm not even that conscious of the decisions I make anymore. How long will it be before I forget more major dates or, even worse, forget to do certain things.

I need control over my life again.
