If you've been around this blog for the last few years, you may already know my biggest weakness. I'm not exactly good at staying focused, nor do I well with less than 322 tasks at a time. Because of that, there are a lot of deadlines that I tend to miss in my excitement. A lot of them happen on this blog. (Sorry y'all, just know I love ya!)
