long time no post. what am i doing?  nothing.  working and going to class, that's pretty much it.  oh, that and planning a wedding.  it's boring and i don't like it.  i want to do art and i get sad when i see other people doing it because that's what i'm supposed to be doing.  not this.  this sucks.  well, i mean i get paid well and good benefits and a free degree and it's not a bad job.  i like it enough and i've been told i'm good at it (i just got nominated for an award), but it's not me and ugh.  i'm bored and sad. i'm getting a bit motivated though.  i'm making some crafty things for the wedding (cardbox, invitations, table numbers, et

art

i miss art.  everyday i miss it a little bit more.  i haven't had time to do anything - hardly even sleep let alone draw something.  i'm busier than i was in college (which is saying something) except now i actually have to sleep in order to function (which i'm not used to) and get up EARLY (which is killing me).  it's getting frustrating and depressing.  i was doodling in class the other day and it felt so nice...  maybe i'll upload that just to make me feel a little better about myself even though it's not much and i don't have a scanner.  i just feel like i abandoned a part of me.  my plan is to come back to art.  i'm getting my teaching c

teaching

0 min read
so i've started my training as a nyc teaching fellow and i have to say it's long, hard training, but it's SO worth it.  i get up at 5, take the train in, and go to class from 8:30-6:30, then get back on the train, come home, do homework, and go to bed.  it's WONDERFUL though.  i love the people i'm working with, what i'm learning, and i feel accomplished.  i'm incredibly excited (though still terrified) about having my own classroom in september and looking forward to having summer school to act as a good bridge between the now and then.  the administration at my school is great and supportive and i just me the other fellow who was hired at t

Hello, Bethany!
This haiku is all for you
Missed is your features

"Come back," said the earth
To the wind-laden duo
"And par-tay with us!"
Well, I just don't hear anything from you lately. :hmm: Are you doing okay? You've been signing in but nothing out of you in almost 3 months. Were you ever able to get some supplies?
hm... i didn't notice this until now. sorry about that. yeah... i've been neglecting my art - well, sorta. i haven't made anything new, but i've been busy applying to grad school so i've been organizing my portfolio and such. i started a piece a little while ago, but didn't like it and got consumed with work again. basically, i've just been REALLY busy. i'm working full time, taking 3 classes, applying to grad schools and various other programs, and i've been sick since last december (yup, over a year) and it's really starting to wear on me. my sinuses are driving me crazy and no amount of medication is making them better - very frustrating. plus, my supplies are kinda ghetto - they're my fiance's old ones from high school, so they're old and not the stuff i like to work with which makes things a bit more difficult. i have made a few little doodles though that i've been meaning to upload, but i don't have a scanner and the camera method's annoying. =0P

so yeah, lost of things are working against my participation in deviant art ight now, but i'm planning on catching up as soon as i get some time. well... if i ever get some time.... =0P
Well, just keep plugging away at it. You'll get through it eventually. :) It's bound to improve with time.
heyy! its dj from pandachimp! how are ya?
yay pandachimp! =0) i'm great, how are you? did you enjoy otakon? (i missed it this year, boo.)
Hey hunny! It's Frin from ST. Just dropping by to tell you how much I love your stuff!! *huggles*
