There isn't a whole lot going on to talk about.

School has been (somewhat) raping my soul... I feel like I need to do well there, but so many issues at home have been impairing my ability to actually work on them (things like people in the house INTENTIONALLY shutting power off when I'm trying to work on projects, all right... wtf) While I know that I need to get through just another year and a half, it feels like this first year probably should have been the easiest. I feel like I'm moving into the brunt of everything, and worried that my workload will exceed the time limits I have for myself.

Keep in mind that in order to keep going to art school, one must be able to afford it. If I can't pay for supplies, I can't create the projects to hand in to get the good grades to continue getting paid to take courses... because I could never afford the classes on my own, so I look to grants, scholarships and loans.

And with the economy, folks... -_-;

But yes. I wish there were an easy fix, a way for me to not live where I do. The only time I'm able to get things done is during the mid-late afternoon and evening. Unfortunately, that's the majority of my class schedule, so I'm forced to try and do the work during the day, which doesn't fly with... other members of the family that reside in this household.

It's a rock.
It's a hardplace.
It's a me, Mario.

I'll persevere, but it's going to take some time to figure out how to navigate the gauntlet whilst blindfolded.

In other news, I'm extraordinarily thankful (thankful to my utmost, even!) that I have the support and care of my very close friends, of which there aren't many I have many acquaintances, true - but those persons I call friend are countable really, on my hands. And they've been what's held the quivering mass of psyche that is trying to survive together. So thank you for that, guys. I really do appreciate it...

Even though the majority of you won't even see this message... somehow that makes it better to me.

So yes, you're getting pictures here and there, but not a whole lot of art from me. I know, I'm sorry for that.

Things will pick up again in time.
Oh and hey, my birthday is coming up soon. Anyone who would be down with getting me a subscription? I'd just think you were really cool
I haven't had a subscription for awhile, now. I miss it, kinda, hehe.

Anyway

Just wanted to update anyone that cared to know...
I'm alive
doing mostly well
totally twitterpated
also frustrated in a different manner
and wanting to just be over and done with school... and move on to brighter things,

To work
not toil.

Isn't that everyone's goal?
