My life has been so incredibly busy. At least I feel like it has. The point of this dumb blog was to be able to tell my stories and share my music, but I haven't been able to do that as well as I wish. Honestly, I get stressed when I fall so far behind on sending out music, which is weird.
In any case, February, March, and some Honorable Mentions are all wrapped up and I am ditching school right at 3 to mail them out.
Tomorrow is opening night of my theater class's play, Ask Any Girl. I'm excited. Though, I am also quite excited for it to be over so I can get back to exercising and sleeping right.
