First of all...
MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE!
For all my family and friends within the state: I'm sorry I won't be there to celebrate the holidays for you, but know that I am thinking about all of you, miss you, and hope the warmth and care we give each year to one another is still glowing for the holidays! And not just for Christmas, but also for the remainder of the year.
As for me, job searching has become an ultimate failure, seeing as I've spent most of my time catching up with studies (Chinese, internship applications), commissions (for artwork, yay!)...and for me being lazy and sucking in the free time for once.
That just makes me a successful procrastinator. Hm.
I do need to get into gear though, despite my hesitations of summer internships (meaning I'd only be able to keep a job for six months. Is it worth it?) I'm still looking though, don't get me wrong about that!
Anyway, I hope everyone has a merry weekend, and I'm thinking only for the best for everyone!
Merry Christmas! I love you all~

12/17: Vacation catch-up time
First week of the vacation and I cannot deny how much I'm enjoying catching up on things that needed to be done.
Amongst looking for a job, I've also been reorganizing my living space, cleaning the garage, setting some priorities straight and...of course, catching up on all the drawing that I've missed so dearly. Aah, it feels good to pick up a pencil again.
Unfortunately I haven't had time to scan my sketches nor embroider my shirt, so showing off my costuming skills will have to wait for another time. Sorry, guys!
And my grades have come in, though I cannot say that I am entirely proud of them this year. I passed, but some grades were worse off than some. Which is why I've begun my studying earlier this year so these dire circumstances won't happen again. I have always been a good student, and I plan to maintain that reputation up until I graduate with a degree in my hand.
Anyway, today is a day mostly finishing up everybody's gift, so I hope y'all are having a productive day yourself and hope to talk to all of you soon! Later~

12/10: MMM.
Hey, remember last week when I said I was prevailing through my studies with high spirits and confidence?
Unfortunately, my finals did not turn out for the better, despite my hard work towards studying for them.
Although I feel pretty good about my construction project (which hopefully I will post pictures later this month!), everything else seemed to have slipped out my mind. But I suppose studying for three days straight on four hours of sleep will also contribute to my lack of thinking for the finals.
Today is the last day of finals for me (Costume Design; hopefully I can get some of those up, too!), and I am exhausted and frustrated with the outcome of this week. So pretty much after today's final, I will be hibernating for two days.
My plans for Winter Break have not been entirely finalized. While I do miss everyone back at home and it was a pleasure to see you all during Thanksgiving, I unfortunately do not have the funds to come back up for a few days. I'm still in search for a job, and my aspirations lie in being able to work some solid weeks in so I can prove to be a good employer.
At this point, it's either find a job or go back to Wendy's. And I'd rather not have to go back there only for the managers to tell me, "Told you so."
But for now, I have a final to attend to. I hope everybody else's week turned out more successful and I hope only the best for y'all next week. Later~

12/3: can't sleep, finals will eat me...
Well. Back to school for another week and a half. UHHM. So many things to get done before next week.
Anyway, for those I have seen during my Thanksgiving Break: It was good to see you all! Good to know that everyone is doing well and I hope this winter will treat every single one of you just as fairly!
And for those who have no idea: MY GOODNESS, so much good food. It's a shame I didn't get a chance to snag some back home with me. But nonetheless, I had a very stuffing and thankful Thanksgiving.
Despite this week being the dragged out week for Finals, I still have many things to prepare myself for. I need to finish my shirt by Tuesday, perform an 8-minute monologue in Chinese, study for my Astronomy final and finish all my costume sketches and still apply watercolors to them. All within the squeezed hours of searching for a job and working on everybody's Christmas gift.
Just as I had thought would happen: I waited until the last minute before working on everything. How very, very stupid of me.
But regardless of personal frustrations and lack of sleeping, I am still prevailing through with a high head and confidence that I will surpass the challenges set before me. After all, it is December, my favorite month of all!
So I hope for all of you that your lives are running smoothly and that you get the chance to sit back and enjoy warming yourself up in this progressively cold weather! Later~
