Gods, I feel like crap.

I've been so stressed out recently. I've been applying for college and been studying for tests and such that I need to take. If that's not enough, I'm still trying to get my credit problem fixed (I doubt threatening the teachers will help much...), am dealing with my younger spolt sister and running around the city doing errands for my mom. I know it would have only been a matter of time before it caught back up to me, in the form of my infamous tension migranes.

Let me elaborate. When I was in 8th grade, I was doing pretty much what I'm doing now: Trying to get into a charter school, studying for tests, dealing with problems from other people, etc. It got to the point that I was up at 4:30 in the morning and didn't go to bed until 12:00 at night. Needless to say, it had a rather large effect on me.

I started getting migranes from it all. And when I say migranes, I don't mean simple headaches that go away after you take some asprin or sleep on it. I'm talking head-splitting pain that can cause you to black out (which happened in Orchestra). And when they start, they don't go away for several days. Yeah, that's what I thought.

On Sunday, shortly after I posted the 9th chapter to The Glass Mask, I had another tension migrane and I didn't go to school for three of the four days I needed to (I could barely stand let alone drive a car). This has been the first time nearly all week that I've been able to stay on the computer for more than a couple of minutes.

I feel really horrible, because I promised for a 'surprise' on Valentine's Day for all my readers. (I did some really cute fanart, had the tenth chapter done, and came up with a fluffy oneshot for the occation). And I know that they probably won't forgive me for breaking my promise.

*sighs* That's all I really have to post since I haven't done much for four days. I'll try to get on tomorrow, if I don't have another headache. Ja ne.
