Golf and Others

So I totally had a breakdown (again) today. I had so much homework (3-4 hours worth), had to finish/start my drawing and essay for physics, go to the ABS meeting at o2, and go to golf practice.

Golf is messing everything up and throwing me off balance. I told Coach that I had to go at 5:30 in order to make it back in time to pick up Chloe and go to the ABS meeting at o2, so when 5:25 came around and I reminded him of that as we were starting our 4th hole, he got all ticked and gave me this long speech about how I should be more concerned with something (golf) that can take me far in life and maybe even scholarship money and even said that ABS is not near as important as golf and that he seriously doubts I'll ever get in money out of ABS.
I was so freaking p-oed at him. What does he mean golf is more important than furthering the kingdom of God?! Does he think the only thing I care about is money?! MONEY DOESN'T MAKE YOU HAPPY!
So he resentfully let me leave so I could be home in time, but not before he tells me that I'm playing in a game tomorrow apparently. -I've only been playing for less than 2 weeks (today was my 4th practice/time touch a golf club EVER). Great.
I have plans tomorrow for dinner with friends and I have tutoring at 4pm. I can't do his flipping golf game. He gave me this whole speech (before I could tell him I had plans) about how I better make time for golf because it's more important than whatever I else I do my free time and that golf can get me scholarships and oppurtunities other girls only dream about. He went on to say that golf takes determination and dedication and how I need to get my priorities straight. I "effing" want to slap him the face. -I still haven't told him that I'm not playing tomorrow.
Besides, golf is a sport. Just a sport. Academics are way more important than a sport. Golf is extracurricular and something I want to do for fun -heck, I only signed up as a joke really. I'm not going to go crazy over this stupid game.

Anyway, I like it, but I don't know if I can handle everything else with it, and golf is definetly less important than grades and northland.

I just hope I stop having breakdowns (ie, uncontrollably crying because of stress). If they don't stop within a week and I'm still having to stay up past midnight everynight to finish my hw (and believe, I don't waste time -I sit down as soon as I'm home and start my hw). The only reason I'm wasting 15 minutes to write this is because I don't know anyone who I feel comfortable calling and crying to about this.
