Various Things Kicking Me in the Butt · 5:36am Apr 11th, 2013
1. School: This one isn't really so much the actual school itself as it is studying for AP exams (which are basically just hard tests that colleges like to see and may give you credit for) and preparing for an academic competition (which is next Friday and Saturday).
2. Pain: Well, it's not really that much of "pain" as it is "intense discomfort," but I am relatively certain that I have a pinched nerve in my left shoulder and I find it incredibly hard to focus on some things when it begins to act up. I'm hoping to get some rest now that I don't have multiple projects running at once and get this issue fixed.
3. Life: That one bit about real life is that it always has things that make you moody in some way some of the time. Mine is some personal stuff and stuff about friends that I won't bother describing, but it's an inhibition nonetheless.
4. Guilt: This one stems entirely from the fact that I haven't posted a single piece of writing in MONTHS. That's just entirely unacceptable, but with the three things mentioned above coupled with the fact that I can barely get into the mindset to write before I have to go to sleep, I have produced barely any material recently. I hope to remedy the situation, but that may be a long time coming.
5. Miscellaneous things: There's a smattering of other things that kind of weigh me down a bit, like needing to fill out the FAFSA (for any that don't know, it's basically a form for student aid from the government), the fact that I wasn't able to make it to prom (which isn't really all that important but I feel like I missed out on something nonetheless), and the fact that I don't make any money doing anything, which is something that I would very much so like to do. Unfortunately, most normal jobs would take up too much of my time. I'm looking into learning a lot more about programming and the like so that I can do something along the lines of freelance work, but that'll take a fair amount of effort.
In short, that was just a nice little rant about things that I feel that I wanted to mention to somebody but never found the proper time to. Basically, I just dumped everything down into this pile of smelly blog post and now you've read it, and I don't blame you if you would rather have me not going on about a personal life that really doesn't affect you much, other than limiting my writing.
Before I start ranting about ranting, I'm gonna just go and sleep or something.
Well shit.
Hopefully things will pick up soon =)

It's mostly a matter of what's going to happen and when it's going to happen.
Well, I hope you feel better soon.
I wouldn't stress about the AP exams, they're almost certainly worthless. I wasted some $200+ on them, scored well, and received exactly zero college credit. I still had to take all the basic history, English, and civics classes. They do look good on college applications though.
There are a lot of guides and helpful sites for filling out your FAFSA too, if you have any trouble. It's surprisingly simple.

The thing is that I just haven't gotten around to doing it. I don't think I'll have that much trouble, honestly, And with the AP exams, I actually barely spent any money on them. Hooray for being poor... only spent somewhere around $100 for like 7 exams, five of which are coming up in about a month. Nothing too major, I just tend to stress about things that I'm more than likely going to do well on because I always think that I'm going to mess something up.
