Obstacles 2.0

  So I've run into another obstacle: time management. I'm very bad at it; which is something I'm trying to work on, everything just seems to get away from me. Hence improving my time management. I have decided to put the Representation Matters series on hold until I have the time to review the content and write proper, well thought out posts.
  Now for an update on yours truly:
  I'm seventeen now, so I should probably update my bio. Chemistry is trying to brutally murder me, but hey, I still like it! Even though it doesn't like me. I actually don't have too much going on right now, just school and getting my beginners-which I should have gotten a year ago, I know, I know. The next two months will be super busy though. With the school musical, Beauty and the Beast, in May and the April concert. I will be very busy, it'll be a good busy though.
  Thanks for reading and putting up with my blabbering! Comments, feedback, etc are all very appreciated.

Obstacles

So, with exams last week I didn't get a post up, but I did round out this first semester with a 94 average! Yay!

Now, we'll get to the point of this post, obstacles.

I've come across one major obstacle with this project: the lack of information out there on asexuality. And the information that is available is mainly on how to 'fix' asexuality, which makes for illegible rants and blog posts.

I've reached out to my school counselor and my school health teacher to see if they can help me out, but there is precious little true information on asexuality out there. I aim to work on changing this, which is why I will be compiling a page of resources on asexuality, so people researching it will not have as much trouble as I am having. I'm attempting to clear a little path in this jungle. And interestingly enough Tumblr has been a pretty good place to go for information.

The sheer number of medical articles on 'fixing' asexuality is very discouraging, yet I also find it makes this blog more of a challenge. I get to climb bigger mountains and conquer bigger obstacles, I find myself enjoying the challenges that are arising.

Smaller obstacles have been that it took longer than I thought to set up a website, also, my school's wifi does not allow me to access Blogger. I've been typing them in Google docs or posting them through the mobile app.

Thanks for reading! Comments, questions, and feedback are always appreciated.
