A Phat Thing

I stayed home from school today. Headache, congestion, achiness and a general feeling of crappiness. Not good.

AP Tests. They crawl inexorably closer and closer, and I must say that I am woefully underprepared. Every day after school I am very tired and I either nap, play the piano, edit Bulbapedia, or otherwise screw around until about 5, when I become slightly motivated to work. Work commences sometime around 6 o'clock. I know that I need to study, but I just can't help not caring very much. And really, let's think about it. How much will the AP tests matter when I am old and I die? I'm not going to say, 'I wish I had worked harder and gotten a 4 instead of a 3 on the AP Calculus test.' But mostly, I'd like to think that I can hack it without studying at all. But I probably can't.
The other thing that is coming up around the same time as AP tests is the ESSENTIALLY ELLINGTON COMPETITION IN NEW YORK!!!!! Only 15 bands get chosen from the U.S. and Canada...so it is very highbrow pwnage. This is where most of the time that would be spent studying for APs goes. I am practicing so much it's not funny. But this is something that I will never get to do again in my life and I would truly regret it if I were underprepared for this.
I have started (slowly) playing Pokemon again!!!! The revitalization of my life's joy!!!
