A thousand apologies—

So as it turns out, school is thoroughly kicking my tail. To be more specific, calculus (DEAR LORD I HATE THAT CLASS AND NOT JUST BECAUSE IT'S AT 7:40 IN THE BLEEDIN' MORNING) and college applications (somehow I got into my head to apply to eight or nine places? that was really dumb of me, massive time sink, so many stressful essays—anything to maximize my chances of fleeing Texas, though) are thoroughly kicking my tail. (Also chem, although in that case it's not the difficulty, it's just absurdly time-consuming. Labs are fun, but the post-lab analysis can be very tedious. ) I've had very little time to do much of anything that doesn't involve school or learning to drive, which is why I pretty much dropped off the face of the internet. With the primary exception of Tumblr, which I desperately need to straight-up ban myself from, because sometimes it's easy for me to multitask and sometimes it's really really really not. (If any of you see me lurking around on there, feel free to scream at me and guilt trip me. Please.)

So... that's my life right now, and I'm going to start making a serious effort to balance my time better, because it's either that or explode from stress. (Seriously. Explode. Guys, I'm a complete wreck right now. Unless something drastic changes, I'm not doing NaNoWriMo this year, and those of you who know me know how big of an indicator that is.) Hoooopefully, that will mean more time here, but I'm hesitant to make promises I can't fulfill.

(I am definitely going to carve out time to work on the 63rd Games with Thundy. We've got planning to do. >D)

I'm so, so sorry, everyone. I know this isn't the first time I've pulled a spontaneous disappearance, and I feel horrible. If you're willing to be patient with me, I'm eternally grateful. And I look forward to being able to return properly.
