Stuff I'm Doing Right Now
Merienda for the Soul Made4Daze Commissions
Heya! I wanna open this journal with a BIG OL' THANK YOU to everybody's reading this---whether an old Watcher or someone who's new to my antics. My activity is very inconsistent, especially this year when I've been struggling with school and events.
So, if you don't mind, let's a do a bit of story time---
THE SCHOOL STUFF
For over four years I've been toiling at a college course I didn't like at all (plus I was very terrified of the expectations to be put on me as soon as I graduate), and only now did my parents listen to me. They allowed me to transfer schools, so now I'm taking up Information Technology (I'm pretty much back to Square 1, though.)
I'm doing a lot better with my schoolwork now, and (albeit the daily fear of not getting perfect grades) I'm even aiming for the Dean's List.
THE EVENT STUFF
There's this amazing show that brought me and several people together, and we decided to host a humble event in our city centered around the love for that show. Preparations for it were very difficult, considering that all the members of the organizational team were underaged students (I'm the only 18+ y/o person in there), and it got in the way of pretty much everything else happening in my life.
Could these preparations have distracted me from doing well in my old school, thus preventing me from transferring, getting my parents mad at me, and perhaps stopped several weeks of suicidal thoughts? Definitely.
Did these preparations destroy several relationships of mine and others, due to certain people's noncooperation and general idiocy? For sure.
I have so many regrets, but I can't deny some great things that came out of this.
Now that I've gotten the heavy stuff out of the way, I wanna talk to you guys about my (art) plans for the rest of 2017! (I will be updating this list as I go along.)
