I've never TOLD anyone I have a tumblr.

I just started following people.

so here's my official announcement:
I HAVE A TUMBLR.
follow me if you want to it's not a big deal.

click

1. get my license in order to drive
2. find a job to pay for insurance/gas to drive my car. also to pay for stuco camp/stuff/college. meeh.

yes I'm gonna get a job hopefully not at cinemark again but hey, they'll re-hire me and it wasn't THAT bad and yeah.

social lives are overrated. I'll work after school I guess and Saturday afternoons. that sounds good.

gotta grow up!

what is that
that freaky thing
yes that's right it's a naked mole rat. ;)

so stressed, guys. if you care:

1) FreeLancer, the literary magazine of which I am a co-editor, is falling apart and I'm watching the pieces break. We're broke, have no submissions for the new issue, and interest is fading fast. Maaaah.

2) Can Drive is draining all my energy. So much work. So much stress.

3) Homework. Oh geez so much. Studying for calculus and reading entire chapters of American History in one night and having to read Grapes of Wrath and the Scarlet Letter and an "outside reading book" and a surprise Spanish test

4) I feel like I should be trying to keep up with my social life, or even my URL life, but I'm just not, and I'm ok with that, but I feel guilty not talking to people and stuff.

5) My phone was dead for almost a week before I got a new charger which really was not good because I felt bad enough not talking to people and so I was out of touch with a lot of people for a while which was not fun. Also it made it harder to manage my committee in StuCo.

6) I'd really, really, really like to have the ability to drive but I just have no time.

7) Mondays are always especially stressful. I get a lot of homework assigned those days and I volunteer at the library so after that I'm exhausted and have exaggerated amounts of work to do. /:

8) My room is still a fucking DISASTER. I need to clean it. I know it'll help clear my mind but I just... PRIORITIES. THEY SUCK.

The only thing keeping me sane is, ironically, NaNoWriMo. It's going pretty well. Need to get my count in for today. I'll do that now, actually.

Hope you enjoyed another episode of "Katy is a whiny pansyass."
