Despite the fact that I was so overwhelmed by everything in my last post (and I still am), I decided that I want to push my limits by joining all the school clubs that I'm interested in.
So far I've joined...seven. On top of that, I'm also taking a one segment course on FLVS that I have to work on outside of school. And then I've got IB homework, JLPT preparation, my brother's school plays, concerts, driving practice to get my license, PSAT preparation, articles/photos to try to have published (and time to write/take them), books to read, blogs to post, advanced studying to do (yes, even more than IB), French to re-learn, friends to make, and so on and so forth...
There is no better motto
Actually, I'm almost finished with my online class even though I literally started it 2 days ago. It's a very easy class, the only thing I'm missing is printer ink to print out my infographic to fill it out. That and my teacher's going away for 10 days on a teacher conference and didn't pick up my calls today. Oh well, the calls'll be the last thing to finish up when he gets back. (I have to be in this class for a minimum of 14 days anyway.)
For now, I'll focus on my JLPT and PSAT preparation. And everything else.
Also, it'll be a pain to have to catch up on all these e-mails:
I'm sorry that I haven't posted for a month, I really am! School was starting back up and I got into IB (yay!), so I've been trying to get back on track with that.
But now that I've finally settled in, I'm back...Except I have a problem.
Many bands I like either released albums this summer or are releasing them on Tuesday...and there's still more announcements coming. On top of that, some bands are coming here on tour soon!
Of course I'm going to give the shows priority over the CDs (I can buy the CDs when I have money, but who knows when the next tour will be?), but I'm not even going to be able to afford all of them! >_<
When life gets hard...your head asplode
Here's a complete list of recently released (or soon-to-be-released) albums that I am interested in (the ones I have are crossed out in red):
Anarbor - "Burnout"
Rise Against - "RPM10"
Forever the Sickest Kids - "J.A.C.K"
Skillet - "Rise" (updated - October)
The Used - "The Ocean of the Sky"
Tonight Alive - "The Other Side"
Rise Against - "Long Forgotten Songs"
Bowling for Soup - "Lunch. Drunk. Love."
All Time Low - "Don't Panic: It's Longer Now"
You Me At Six - "Cavalier Youth"
Avenged Sevenfold - "Hail to the King"
I wonder where I'll get that money from...
I want to get a job to pay for all that stuff, but I can't. I can't even drive anywhere to get a job. I live 5.5 miles from civilization.
I get home from school at 4:30, it takes an hour for me to bike 5.5 miles. Now it's 5:30. If I start my shift right away, I can work until 8:30, because I'm only allowed to work 3 hours per day on weekdays during the school year. At that point, it's too dark and abandoned to safely head back on my bike, and even if I did, it would be 9:30 when I got back. I'm pretty sure biking 11 miles every day after school won't be such a good idea either. Also, who's gonna do all my IB homework??? (My bedtime's at 10)
If only...
Sometimes I wonder if all the bands had an agreement to release all their albums in the same time frame. I have never seen such a massive amount of album releases from bands I like in such a short time frame.
Then again, I only got really into music 4 years ago, and the place I lived in didn't sell many English-language music CDs (other than classics like the Beatles), and Amazon shipping was more than 3 times the price of the product, and eBay wasn't even an option. Also, no English-language bands ever toured there.
I guess it is quite overwhelming, to say the least.
For the record, I can't drown. I can't even go underwater. I'm too light for that.
Also, I don't know why, but I am suddenly in love with this song:
