i don't like being sixteen.

Everyone expects stuff from me. Okay, I get it. I'm a failure because I haven't gotten my permit yet. I'm never going to be the greatest actress because my brother got the lead in his first school play and I just do stage crew right now. I still haven't started PSAT classes.

But, come on. I'm taking all honors or AP classes. I have to tutor my younger brother. I have to make my own breakfast, lunch, and dinner. All of my friends who've got their licenses and SATs coming have mommies who make them brown bag lunches. My mom hands me a $20 bill Monday morning, and I've got to make it last the entire week.

My daily routine:

1. Wake self up.
2. Get dressed/brush teeth/brush hair/wash face/put on makeup.
3. Turn off alarm.
4. Pack backpack.
5. Eat banana while looking for money or packing a bagel.
6. Prepare dog food.
7. Bring dog out and feed him.
8. Wake mom up so she's not late for tennis.
9. Walk to school.
10. School from 7 to 3.
11. Walk home from school.
12. Eat snack and watch like 30 minutes of TV.
13. Feed the dog and walk him.
14. Do homework.
15. Order/cook dinner for me and Beni (or wait for mom to bring food home).
16. Facebook. Skype. Tumblr. Formspring. Blogger. Pandora. All of the above.
17. More homework.
18. Even more homework.
19. Talk to boyfriend over Skype when he finally gets home.
20. Shower.
21. Sleep.

I'm tired.
