I'm planning on going into computer science, any knowledge in that area? I appreciate you replying and everything by the way!

Do you have an idea of what you want to do with the degree? Regardless of that, it's a good idea to start programming now rather than waiting until you get to college to start learning. You can do some Python tutorials and easily learn the basic ideas, and then if you feel daring/hardcore you can try learning C.

I have absolutely no idea what I want to do with it, but it interests me. My school is trying to get an AP Computer Science class, however we would just be taking a course online since the teacher would have to learn it as well. I'm not planning on taking it, especially since you said I could learn the basics online by myself, as you said. I just have trouble finding motivation to do my school work, and usually procrastinate until the very day an assignment has to be turned in. Any tips on that as well?

It's not too big a deal if you don't know what you want to do with it right away. Hell, I'm still not 100% sure what would be ideal for me. Doing the class might help you even if only because it would give you a framework to keep you on track, but that's up to you. As for procrastination, I'm the same way. What works for me is to break things up. Work for some number of minutes, then rest for some number of minutes, and go back and forth in small time chunks.

Alright I'll give that a try. How long do you normally have to study for things, and do you have any time for yourself?
-
I don't really have a solid answer, it depends on what I'm studying. And I sort of do have time for myself because that's built into the method of working because there's that resting time. But almost all my time is either at school, at work, driving between them, or doing the work/rest juggling act.

Okay well I think that's all the questions I have at the moment! Thank you f for taking the time to help me out.
