Fellow DAers, lend me your… uh… brains?

If you don’t feel like reading this whole journal, but still want to help me out, scroll down to the [x] points for questions.

So I’m in a general negative funk lately. It kinda sucks, and a lot of people who know me keep going: “This isn’t like you!” while I think it’s really just like me, except a little more intense than normal. Life hasn’t been going too fabulously. I feel completely horrific for complaining at all because I know that worse things are happening in places to people.

First of all, I’d like to take a moment out. I try not to watch the News much anymore because I’m a serious ‘world on my shoulders’ kind of person, but there’s some things you don’t miss. I just want to say that my prayers are with those in the Philippines and with family members in the Philippines. I know that doesn’t seem like much right now, and I wish there was something more that could be done. u_u

Now onto the things I need your help in!

1.) School.

This class I am in is horrible. The chapters I’m reading are like, 30 pages long each, which you would think isn’t that bad, right? No. Unfortunately a single chapter has over 100 key terms, and our test is on three of these. 300 key terms for one test when you’re going full time is excruciatingly painful. Now, don’t think that these are noooormal words. No. These are crazy ass Psych words that I couldn’t pronounce, let alone remember even if I made flash cards and had their babies.

[X] How do you study? What things work for you?

2.) Friends

Life is just not good without friends, and right now it seems like a lot of my ‘close’ friendships aren’t going well. There’s an exception or two, but otherwise, not so much. I’m having trouble feeling like a lot of my good friends are abandoning me, and a few others seem to use me just for certain things. “Make new friends” is not an option, because I have plenty, I’m just talking about the ones that matter a lot to me.

[X] How do you handle problems in your friendships?

3.) Art

Some of you may have noticed that I haven’t posted anything up in a long time, and unfortunately this trend is probably going to continue for a long time. I have some inspiration, but for some reason I can’t seem to gather enough self esteem to get going on any of the writing I want to do. It’s awful because I feel so out of practice, and my biggest problem is that I seem to rely on other people to help me get psyched and inspired because I often work in groups.

[X] How do you inspire yourself?

[X] How do you psych yourself up about solo projects?

Also, I have made some progress on a solo story I’m doing, but I need help finding two names. I’ve managed to name almost everyone else except these two, trying to find something perfect, so if you don’t mind throwing out suggestions, I’d really appreciate it. C:

[X] Names for a female character? Needs to be long and feminine, but can be shortened to something stronger.

[X] Names for a male character? He’s a little neurotic and very technological.

If you like a name and don’t want it used, don’t give it to me. >.>;; Lol. There’s a chance I may use your idea.

Lastly

[X] What do you love, and what do you hate about boarding school stories?
