FFA Stress

So I'm in FFA. If you don't know what that is, let me give you an overview. FFA used to stand for Future Farmer's of America (Not anymore though!) and is the largest student organization in the United States. There are many levels to it, one being CDE (Career Development Event) contests. Well June 18-20 is the Indiana State Convention, when state CDEs are held. So, I chose to do the Agriscience fair (An all ag science fair) contest. Well, then I got put in charge of our Ag Issues Forum (Consists of a skit over an issue in agriculture) Team. Then, I was informed I was on the Marketing team (Creating and presenting a marketing plan for an ag business). Finally, my teacher asked me to take the farm management test, so that makes four contests in all. I am going to pull my hair out. I still have track practices for the next two weeks, so I can't work after school. I still have to keep up with homework, so I get very little done at night. There's also the issue of never being able to see the people on the teams with me, which makes creating a group project a little bit of a challenge. Now, I'm one of those people that works better under stress, but that doesn't mean I enjoy it. I just got to push through these next few weeks, and hope for the best. I mean, I really really really want to go to nationals again. I just have to work it out and do good work. What other choice do I have?
