Since school started a few short weeks ago it seems I’ve found difficulty encountering a free moment. Probably because senior year is a bit of a drag, and rather than screwing around all the time I’m now just devoting my time to getting work done for school. Less of a stretch compared to those used to screwing around with other people in their spare time (take that as you will) who now face the same fate, but still a bit of a chore.

So since I’ve been a bit sleep deprived in all of this, I’ve been neglecting my blog. Hopefully this is a condition that won’t last for exceedingly long, as I do enjoy being able to write a bit on what’s on my mind, which hopefully is not the fact that I haven’t been doing much of that.

Though the amotivation thing is kind of bothering me. I wrote my national merit essay Sunday night. My counselor told me it kind of sucked (using other words), so I took it back, reworked it, and handed it in on Wednesday (she wasn’t there to read it on Tuesday, else I’d have had it in then).

Maybe it’s just the amount of work I’ve had to worry about that prevents me from getting anything done. Last Spanish test I didn’t bother to study for until my free period the day of (though for the record it turns out I got the highest grade in the class on that, so maybe that wasn’t such a bad idea). The school newspaper editor application was due yesterday, but I didn’t bother to finish mine. My guess is that the whole concept of answering yes/no questions in “3-5 sentences, typed” kind of suggested that it wasn’t the job for me anyway (there were probably other things too, but I’ve got enough to worry about without trying to rewrite articles rants about how much cafeteria food sucks).

Of course, my “free time” is really supposed to be spent toward application completing and essay writing and whatnot. So I guess we’ll see what that ends up leaving me with.

By the way, I don’t know if you knew this, but Ken Jennings has a blog. I only stumbled across it (not to be confused with StumbleUpon) a few days ago, but it seems he’s slightly more regular in his posting habits. He’s probably more enjoyable to read too. And you’ll learn more from him than you will from me. And even if you don’t think he’s that great I gave you a second link to suck up some time so you won’t notice me not posting.

And one day I’ll figure out where all those damn poll votes are coming from.
