Good afternoon, dudes and dudettes.

College is finally out. For good. Sneaky little ... I thought once the work was done my life would be a lot free-er, but nooooo. Setting up the show and presenting my work ate up far more of my time than I'd ever anticipated, which meant my lovely free time was near nil. Not only that, but I was suffering with some terrible kind of fatigue, where I could only be up for about two hours before becoming so exhausted I'd have to sleep again. It wasn't just being tired, it was like all my limbs were weighed down and even rolling over to get comfortable was too much of an effort. After seeing a less-than-helpful doctor I decided to wait until things in my life had settled down, and thankfully, the tiredness has eased off a little. At most I'll have one nap a day, whereas before my whole day was a nap, interspersed with eating and drinking when I had the energy.

SO

I hope you all have taken notice of my lovely commission that I finally completed. *Surrounds it with lights and indicates to it like some cheesy game show.* Heck, I'm just proud I got it done at all. At the same time, I feel terrible for the person who commissioned me. I just never thought life would get in the way like it did. :\ Anyway, that is the main reason why I have not been drawing my fingers off and posting more things. I have tons more ideas and a few months ago I was discussing an art trade with the lovely . Also I have commissions lined up with and . Thank you both so much for commissioning me.

AND

I am going ON HOLIDAY AND NOTHING IS GOING TO SCREW THIS UP. I haven't been this excited about anything since I last went to America. Between Oct-Jan, my life pretty much ground to a halt and basically made me bomb my college work. I feel like I could have done so much better otherwise, but hey, I got into the second year and that's really what matters. Still, I just need to get away. I need to relax, just take some space to breathe and gather myself back together before heading home to my rather chaotic life. I'll never forget how much America feels like home, yet so different at the same time. I can't wait till I do my Master's degree and study over there, for good!

Cutting a very long story short I had a fabulous weekend which got me thinking a lot about myself. At the end of it all, I feel so calm, and just ... more like me, like I've come to understand myself a little better. I was so content the other day, I was frightened something terrible would happen and take it all away. Maybe it's lost time being made up. Who knows.

Take care and I wish you all a wonderful summer. Keep in touch as I love hearing from you. Drop me an e-mail or a message on Facebook!!
