...is killing my social life.

Okay, college is easy for me compared to others. I'm not taking any hard classes this semester.

M/W/F
Anthropology 1001 (Introduction to Physical Anthropology)
Geography 2050 (Basically intro to Meteorology)
T/Th
Art 1011 (Art Structure)
Art 1847 (Drawing Composition)
Art 1441 (Art History: Renaissance - Modern)

I only have homework in the two studio art classes. But when they give homework, they give a lot.

I'm going to try and post as much art as I can during this adjustment period, but I can't make any promises. I'm working on another dreamcatcher and a sword in my free time. The dream catcher is a request from ~mrytu and the sword is an attempt at designing a sword for my main character.

Anthropology was complicated by the fact my teacher was out his whole week because she was called to Texas to help identify bodies. The substitute teacher seemed to being going out of order and had us worried by the last class this week because she started a section that our teacher said we wouldn't be held accountable for.

I like GEO 2050 and ART 1441, they're fun (even if my ART 2050 teacher made us come in on Saturday to make up classes we missed because of the hurricane. Oh! The school canceled Fall Holiday too to make up classes. I guess I can't complain too much though.

Later.

I hate it when things go wrong. I broke my foot and sprained my wrist on the 10th. Then my computer broke I just got it back yesterday. Now things have all piled up again.

Sadly, no one has checked on my stuff lately. I posted an interview for one of my characters and the prologue of my story and there have been few reviews.

Yes, I'm still alive. Things have been kind of hectic here. I graduated from highschool on May 18th and a week or so before that, my computer was taken away. I'm stuck using my parents' computer right now and it doesn't seem to like deviantART very much.

I'm going to get a dell tablet soon so I should be on a whole lot more soon.
