I'm overworked and yet I want more?

I recently made my own business cards. Never bothered to show them off. I do so now not because they are really spectacular, but because my day involved nothing visually stunning. Not sure what I would do without blipfoto.

I need to keep reminding myself that this is the last semester of high school. And then that's it. Afterwards there will be no more chances to "prove myself" to my teachers, to myself. More importantly, there will be no more chances to be with all the friends. I really wouldn't trade anything for the friends I've made and the friends I hope to keep.

I want to be sure I remember all the fun I've had all the great times, even though the stress has conquered my mindset right now and always managed to linger...

One last note, I promised myself I would soon start to try to do self portraits. I've never really made a huge attempt at any. When I have, it's never been anything I'm proud of, or for that matter even stand to look at. I like my place behind the camera but does anyone have any tips to conquer my "fear" and come out on top with some acceptable photos?

Constructive criticism is always appreciated.
