Hi, 2016

Obviously, I'm a little late. I wanted to post this on the 1st of January, but... I got distracted. That being said-- I'm back! At least... for a little while. School isn't heavy right now at all, so that means I will be posting more.

Anyways. This post is just going to be a list of resolutions. A lot of them are going to be simple, but hopefully they won't be too boring (who am I kidding-- it's probably going to be 90% school).

2016 | Resolutions

1. Get my driver's licence.

2. Join a club at my school.

3. Keep my 4.0 GPA.

4. Check out dual-enrollment at my local college.

5. Try something, anything new. (because my comfort zone is about the size of a miniature pea)

6. Finish one WIP-- this one. (I am too distracted to hope for more than one)

7. Get down to some serious plotting for Shadows Dancing. (I think I've put this off for about 2 years)

8. Expand my music horizons. 

9. Spend more time outside, just because.

10. Try to find more beauty in the simple things and not to get too caught up in what hasn't happened yet. (because I have a tendency to hyperventilate if I think about the future for too long)

11. Actually make a reading/posting schedule for my blog. (I think everyone can agree that it's about time)

12. Spend more time with my family.

13. Send my sister at least one letter while she's at college this year/semester.

14. This year, I really, really want to find my happy place. 

Life Update

Okay, so, in case you wonder why I've basically dropped off the face of the Earth over the next few weeks, I will explain beforehand.

I've got end of course tests (EOCs) coming up. They are legit a week away from today.

Not only that, the tests happen to be in Algebra and Biology-- two classes that I struggled a lot in this semester. The first because, hello, it's Algebra + new material to learn, and the second because my teacher is horrible.

On top of this, I take a Gaming 1 class for extra credit, and over the next couple of weeks I am supposed to be planning and creating my own custom game. (The type of games I have been creating are platform (think Mario) games and scrolling shooter games). At the beginning of the semester, the only class I had taken before that had anything to do in Gaming was an online college class that was more about designing games than actually creating them. So, yeah. Having to churn out one game each week has been very stressful.

School is officially out for me May 15. So that's probably around when I'll start getting back into blogging semi-regularly, doing more link-ups, etc.
