Am I insane?

I am a senior in high school and my first day of school is tomorrow, and I also work that day. I will wake up at 6:30 AM, and then I will leave for school at 7:20, and it starts at 8:00, and then it finally ends at 3:00 PM, and I get home at about 3:20. Then at 3:30 I must be out the door so I could make it to work by 4:00... And then I work 7 hours and I will get home at about 11:30 PM, that leaves me about 6 hours to sleep if I have school work to do. Am I insane for having this schedule? And it won't just be one day a week, I will do this tomorrow, Thursday, and Friday... They will probably work me at least 4 days in a 5 day school week, and then they will most likely steal my weekends as well (thank you walmart). In my past years I would usually take naps after school because I would be so tired, but now instead of naps I will be taking laps in a big box retail store. Ugh, but I absolutely need this money for a vacation to Sweden (ticket bought), Spain, and Germany for a month in December...

I am really, really tempted to say that a December trip to Sweden! and Spain! and Germany! is worth the insane schedule. I am so sure you'll have a wonderful time especially during the holiday season. I've never been there but I'm still sure.
But like the previous posts, don't let your schoolwork and physical health suffer if it gets to that point. Now get some sleep!

it's too late at night for you, do not you want to get a goog sleep and get up to practise your schedule. ugh...
i believe it is praiseworthy that you have your own plan, and then you realize it by youself.But you should take care of yourself and have no reason to ruin your health. you can go to Spain/Germany at the next session.

If you really want the vacation then you should be commended for working for it. Will it be hard, of course. Just don't let your school suffer for your vacation. I am sure you will have plenty of time for vacationing during your lifetime! Good luck.
