Entry:

Jebus. It's been so long since my last update that I doubt anyone's still reading them.

As all of my friends at school graduate or come close to it, I'm feeling a sense of impending loneliness on the horizon. Tiina will be graduating in a semester or so, and my roommate around the same time. I'd expect that by then I'll have a steady job, and that I'll be on my way to getting an apartment, but the increasing amount of work that I see my friends going through pre-graduation worries me. I need to finish school. I'm sick of my work never really being used for anything that others will enjoy, and of learning from a lot of people who've never professionally used the programs they teach. I'm tired of living at the dorms where there are restrictions on who can sleep where, what appliances we're allowed to have, what pets we can have. I'm tired of not knowing about "real life" because the only way to really know about it is to step right into it. I'm eager to do so, but I don't learn well traditionally, so school has been slow and agonizing, and I'm uneasy about it.

Will I truly be prepared to walk out of the dorms and into my adult life? I think so. I hope so. I know that I'm far, far more prepared than I was 4 years ago, which is, I suppose a good thing. I'm worried though, since I still have a good amount of time before I graduate. I'm only taking 3 classes at at time, and it's been that way since I started school. I always have problems with one class too. I swear, I must be a complete ignoramus. I'd love to step it up to 5 classes for the last few semesters, but those are usually the hardest. I always figured that taking it slow and steady would help me learn more, and while that's true, it seems that you learn most of your trade on the job, not in front of the blackboard. ...Or projector... Whatever.

There are only two real "overall" goals in life that I have held any interest in, and those are finding true love, and supporting myself well enough to enjoy life with the one I love. I've got the former one in the bag, and that makes me immensely happy, believe me. It's just the latter one that has me worried.

I'm sick of typing right now. I've had all of 4 hours of sleep last night, and I'm the only one not taking a power nap.
I'll likely update in another 2-3 months as per usual, hah. I didn't really intend to just rant the whole time, but I suppose that's how it happens anyhow. On the plus side, I have an amazing new computer. Woo! I have yet to put Photoshop on it, but it's performing admirably for all of my homework-related tasks, and many non-homework-related tasks as well.

I'm going to go before I accidentally hit the wrong button and undo what I've typed.

Dude, I totally have your twin brother in my Intro to Animation class, and it's creeping me out.

Only differences is that he wears more than black, does his homework, and is actually a bigger dork.

Other than that it's like your evil clone... if he starts chewing plastic in class I'm going to freak out.
Great gallery! :D love your Harley desktop ;P
Hey, it's disneypeep11 from isketch. ^^ Nice gallery! I really like your featured deviation. Great work! I'll check by sometime again! :D

You should've gone to China, you know, 'cause I hear they give away babies like free iPods. You know, they pretty much just put them in those t-shirt guns and shoot them out at sporting events.

Still working on yours. I've gotta get wolf anatomy down, and it's been an interesting journey so far. Reference has been a bigger help than I had thought, heh. I want to really get an understanding of it, so I can draw them better in the future. Hopefully, that means your piece will be something totally new/different out of me, something that happens pretty rarely.

It's been a busy last few days, so I have little in the way of a final product, but I expect that after this weekend's craziness with what seems to be future in-laws (not the awful kind), I'll have something (hopefully something final) done before next Thursday.

Thanks for giving me a great excuse to get busy. :D

Catch ya' later!
