    What's one thing going on in your life that you're really happy about?
    What's one thing going on in your life that you're really upset about?

    Feel free to reply more than once, as long as it's not a daily thing. This is meant to be a LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE kind of thing.
     
    Happy: Making really good progress on a new game I'm making.

    Upset: Haven't been able to concentrate on my college applications that I supposedly started like 2 months ago and have made no real progress on.
     
    As of right now, i'm really happy that i'm starting to put forth an effort in everything I do, whether it be school or a personal project.
    Back in the day I was basically all talk and no action with a lot of things. "Oh this month i'm gonna start doing better in school" etc etc. then just spend the day playing video games/watching TV.
    Now I actually do it. :D
    My GPA was a 2.3(C+), now it's at a 2.9(B, almost a B+).

    As for what i'm not so happy about, the girl I used to date for 3 years has gone up and out of state to attend college where her parents attended college, and we decided to just remain friends as we felt a distant relationship would just be too troublesome, which I agree.
    This isn't really news as this happened like 2 years ago, but she's really the only person I cared for a lot, and that probably wont change.
     
    The good: I'm back in London, where there's actually activity and a living breathing city, as opposed to being with my parents in Durham... which doesn't even deserve to be called a city.

    The bad: I am sloooooooowly running out of money, and I need to curb my spending in order to stay afloat!
     
    Good: I got accepted into one of my applied colleges last week.

    Bad: A couple tests are coming up (including an exam).
     
    At the beginning of last month, there were four things which had a chance of happening that would have made living my life as it is now completely unbearable:
    1) My hours being cut back at work
    2) My mother losing her job
    3) My best friend getting into the navy
    4) My other best friend moving away for college

    So right now, I'm happy that only one of those four things ended up happening and I can continue to breathe.

    What I'm upset about is that my fear of those four things happening really brought to light just how stagnant my life has become and how much I really want to change things... but I'm too scared to do any of it. I think I might have anxiety issues or something.
     
    The Good : I will get my results and new books tomorrow.
    The Bad : my school will start from next Monday. :(
     
    Happy: I actually have to think about this one Q_Q; Probably the fact that spring break is coming up early April; makes me very excited.

    Bad: Unable to concentrate on my permit and license. Class presentations. I'd add more but I'd probably end up writing a 2,000+ word essay OTL.
     
    The good: going to see my favorite movie on Friday with some friends, and the screening is attended by two of the stars of said movie. :)))

    The bad: Lately I've felt like more of a loser and a hermit than usual and it's really bothering me but I'm not sure how to fix it.
     
    Well, there's a fun of great stuff going on at the moment, I'm really excited to see The Hunger Games on Friday with my friends. Plus Kid Icarus: Uprising which will take up quite a lot of my time now. :3

    As for bad, I suppose all the exams coming up are putting a lot of pressure on me. I can't really stand it all.
     
    Good thing: I guess school is going alright, um no wait it's actually not nvm. There's no good thing? Cept I have been getting closer to some people lately.

    Bad thing: SCHOOL.
     
    Good: Going to dinner with my friends and then having a sleepover with my best friend afterward~ Also, I'm going to Ikea this weekend and I felt that needed to mentioned too yayayayaya

    Bad: Starts with an S, ends with a CHOOL.
     
    Good thing: I got a new PS3. Plus, I have holidays.

    Bad thing: RESULTS NEXT WEEK! THEN SCHOOL! D:
     
    Good: I'm on spring break, I got the week off from work, I get to chillax, the weather has been amazing, and I've seen a lot of my friends that I haven't seen in a while.

    Bad: My grandpa passed away in the middle of my finals week, I had three research papers due that week (all on the same day, no less) and his funeral was the next day, and then my final exam was the day after. So I had to commute back and forth between school and home (about 3 hours both ways) everyday for pretty much a month while all of this was going down hill. All of this finally calming down and being over and being on spring break lead to the good :)
     
    Good: Week-long holiday! Huzzah.

    Bad: My parents' relationship is going downhill. I'd rather not delve into details, but simply put this led to various complications that trouble me and my sisters. So far, things ain't looking so good with them.
     
    The good:
    Since the grass is beginning to get high outside, the neighbors have asked me to take care of mowing their yards in addition to mine, paying $30 a yard/once a week each, so extra income!

    The bad:
    I ACHE AND GOT WICKED SUNBURN YO.

    The Good: Recently got a job and will be starting it soon, been chatting to this girl I like and hopefully she may become more than just a friend, my friend is recovering from his cancer well.

    The Bad: Lack of social life, grades could be better, feeling sad a lot.
