So I realize that I literally have not made a journal entry since the beginning of the school year. Oops?
The past semester was pretty rough but I'm hoping this next semester will be better. I lightened my class load a bit and my schedule looks like it has more time to fit in work and riding lessons. And Mock trial will be over a full month before final exams so I'll have more time to think about it and prepare and stuff. Unless my procrastination issues take over again, which was one of my biggest problems this semester but I think it was more of a side effect from stress.
Which brings me to New Years Resolution #1: Better time management. I want to get my shit done so that I have actual free time- not time that's wasted goofing out and doesn't bring me any productivity or stress relief. I want to start playing my guitar again and work on being a better musician. I want to draw again and work on being a better artist and put the tools I have (namely my tablet) to good use. Besides, my dad just bought me an effects pedal for my guitar for Christmas and I really want to experiment with it. I want to get through the massive stack of books I bought last year and still haven't read. I want to be able to read for fun and not be swamped with readings for class.
If you've been paying attention to my gallery lately, I started working on the art stuff at least by drawing something of my own for the first time in...god I don't even know how long it's been. Too long. I'm going to work mostly on drawing cartoon/semi realism animals and I'll be starting with wolves thanks to the extraordinary amount of wolf OC's I've made over the years thanks to rp with friends. Eventually I'll branch out to other animals and then start to work on drawing people again. I really wish I hadn't stopped drawing. Since I'm on break till the end of January I think I'll try to make time to test my artistic limits, find some tutorials and experiment with different things. Who knows what I'll come up with.
I think that's it for me. I'm not sure how I feel about the coming year. A mix of optimistic and anxious. We'll see how it goes.
Happy New Years all!

Summer Update
Well it's been over a year since my last journal so I figured I should probably add an update (assuming I still have any active watchers).
This past year has been a hell of a roller coaster. Last summer a close relative died and after that I didn't really feel much like doing anything artistic. I turned into a lurker on DA - watching, but not commenting, adding favorites, or doing much in the way of adding my own art. The anniversary of his death is coming up in about two weeks and my sister and I are going to the park where his ashes were spread and I'll probably take some photos. Whether or not I share those photos to DA is a different sto
Thursday is Art Day
Hello all my lovely watchers,
Kudos to whoever reads this! Anyone following along in my gallery the past month will have noticed I finally started putting together my Photomerge concept of images I took while studying abroad in Europe. My classes this semester haven't exactly been hectic, but they've been busy enough with busloads of reading, that Thursdays end up being the days where I have the most free time to do something other than read about American foreign policy since 1890 or reading about how to write about Law.
Which means that tomorrow (or I guess later today technically) you should all see some new deviations from me popping up
Attentions Watchers!
Calling all watchers! A very good friend of mine is holding an auction for something pretty cool: a sketchbook filled with nothing but YOUR characters drawn by her. She's an AMAZING artist, and it would be great if you all would take a look and share the journal around.
Her journal explaining the auction:
Please go check it out!
New Year, New Art
Well, I'm back in the States- have been for a couple weeks. It's strange being back but it's good to be home. I'm still terribly behind chronicling my European experiences on my blog, but I will get it all finished. Eventually.
I'm on break for another two weeks (technically three but I'm going back a week early in order to practice with my Mock Trial team because we have a tournament in New York the weekend before classes start) so in that time my schedule will consist solely of visiting the barn to work and ride horses, visiting with friends, and of course- art.
When I was in Europe, I saw a lot of art and heard a lot of music, and it rea
