Well, time for the annual update again, I guess.
How have you been, everyone?
I've been busy trying to recover from last year's mental health challenges, from which I still feel the aftermath even now.
However! My life has transformed quite a bit since the end of spring.
I'm still on hiatus when it comes to art, but it's for a much happier reason this time.
Some of you may have already seen it in the latest drawing I uploaded, but I'm just going to say it again: I am now a Psychology student!
It feels so good to finally be studying something that I actually want to study, and get a career in once I'm done. I enjoy it so much that I don't even avoid homework like I usually would.
(if anything, I tend to give myself extra homework to make sure I really understand it! Gasp!)
I already passed my first two exams, so I think I've got a decent chance at success.
On top of that, I will soon complete enough courses to be an entry level mental health care volunteer!
I've got a few different volunteer work options I'm checking out after that, and I look forward to finding the position that suits me best.
As always, I'm still going to do NaNoWriMo as well besides all that.
Last year I somehow managed to still get to 50k, despite all the mess, so hopefully I'll win again this year too.
Didn't manage to finish my book cover in time for this year, though. Maybe you'll eventually see it pop up later? Possibly during November, if I procrastinate.
That's all for now!
I hope you're all doing alright, and that your fall season is full of joy and fun.
Good luck to everyone who's participating in NaNoWriMo!
See you on my next update!
Aaaand it's almost fall of 2021 now...
Woops.
How have you all been this past year?
I haven't been active on deviantart AT ALL - real life got bad for me, even more than last year.
On the bright side, my entire family got vaccinated (including me, even with my fear of needles), and none of them caught covid either.
Some of my friends did catch it before vaccines were available, but fortunately they all made a full recovery.
Other than that, art in general has been on hold for the most part, because I just have too much on my mental health plate.
I will still attempt to partake in NaNoWriMo again, as I always do, but it's going to be tough.
Anyways, just wanted to let y'all know that I'm still alive.
Wishing you all the best!
See you on my next update, whenever that may be.
