ASR Help!

      I’ve been told recently that i haven’t been very happy latley and that when I am happy, I don’t stay that way for long because i get upset very easily and honestly this is from stress. Within the first two weeks of school I had nine projects and essays assigned to me. I had:

-two Biology essays

- 50 Spanish charts

-Book Review

-Summer read

-Ap history essay

-20 ASR articles

         *Highlight: main ideas, scientists, and vocabulay

         *Put vocab (defined) and scientists in list

-ASR Powerpoint project

-A scrapbook

I don’t know if i am crazy but i think that is A LOT of work for the first month of school. In my head I am thinking it can only get harder from here and i am already stressed out of my mind because on top of all of this I am going to be in the play and fall production and have dance lessons. My personal fix to this is to drop ASR because it is the most work. I joined it to maybe get somehting extra on my college application, but now i don’t even feel it is worth it. I am not even interested in it anymore. Even if I do stay with it till my senior year (through all of the other AP classes i am going to have and the extra activities i will have), I will have not much of a social life, and i might not even get the scholarship that only one person per class gets. I don’t know if i am crazy and everyone just thinks I am overreacting, but i really feel this way. If anyone can back me up on this please let me know. I want to know if I am making the right descision in dropping it. I think i am but i would like some feedback please.
