Close to breaking.

I think. I dunno. There's just a lot going on right now. School, homework, parents... Yar. I've taken more stress than this before but it wasn't too pretty. But, then, things were a whole lot different than they are now. But there's still a month and a half to go and I'm not sure how much of this stuff I can take.

Some of it's kind of scaring me, too. I'm finding myself growing resentful of Ashley, resenting the fact that she's being openly hostile toward *everyone* right now, even though some of us are under just as much pressure as she is. I'll admit, I'm probably not one of them, but I'm close. And she acts like we don't understand what she's going through, as though we somehow aren't burdened as much just because we know how to chill for a bit, how to relax and not go off on everyone in earshot. I don't want to feel this way about all this but I'm moving more and more in that direction every day. And AP exams won't be the end of it, either; she'll get through those, and realise that finals are only a month away and go even more ballistic. I'm really not looking forward to the next two months. The worst part is, though, she's setting herself up to do it again next year, with a bunch of hard courses. Don't know exactly which ones, but I know it probably isn't going to turn out too well.

I dunno. I've probably been thinking too much about this, but it's kind of hard putting it aside when there's someone acting like they're the only one under a lot of stress and snapping at you for absolutely no reason.
