What keeps me up at night...

Four weeks of school left, and I'm searching deep within myself for the energy to finish strong. I'm absolutey mentally exhausted. It seems like the only things keeping me going are my relationships with my friends, and my fear of failure. The first one relaxes me, and makes my life much more peaceful. The second keeps me up at night. I try not to worry, but the bar has been set very high for me. I'm the oldest unmarried male in the Roop family, and everyone expects great things out of me. It's not that I don't think I can live up to their expectations, but it's that I feel like I have to, and that makes life really stressful. I've been trying to not worry as much these past few weeks, and it's helping. I'm sleeping better, and I actually feel somewhat rested for once. I just felt like I needed to be honest with the reason for my lack of sleep.
