Okay. So as it would happen, I got out of my math class early today. Apparently he decided he had enough of the lecture and let us go, so now I have a nice little gap between that and my CPT 101 class which starts in about an hour and a half. Yeah, I’m studying Computer programming and web design at my local technical college, which is exciting. It is a far stretch from the veterinary field I was in before, but I suppose that happens sometimes. I loved working with the animals, but I guess sometimes fate has other ideas for you, and this was one of those cases. My body was just not up to snuff, and my back gave out on me one day when I was working on a rather large dog. I let it ride as I often do, but it just wasn’t letting up. I went to the doctor after a while, upon realizing it was not soon backing down, and learned that I had somehow managed to get myself three herniated disks in the lumbar spine. Yeah, that was not the highlight of my day, but sometimes things happen. In this case, it caused me to step back and evaluate what other avenues my life could take. I believe in the power of positive thinking, and I reformed my goal set according to the new limitations I was given. I intend to make do with an IT career and open my own healing gardens with my best friend who is the greatest thing that ever happened to me. We have the grandest designs in mind for naturopathic healers to have open practice in the provided center at the garden, as well as a small shop that will sell herbal teas, crystals, and other energy healing and ancient or time tested methodology for people to utilize or just explore and enjoy. We have been lining up the people we would network with and everything! It is fun to aspire toward a common goal we both agree with. Of course this is a good while off, as we have yet to select a locale as to where we even want to open this place. We both have to finish our degrees as well. A slightly later start is better than no start at all, in my book.
On another completely unrelated front, I have decided that I am going to redo one of my longest running comic series that has been my pet project for the larger part of 2 years. I was re-reading it, and the last two installments just need to go. They need to be revamped in the worst fashion, but the problem is, I have too many avenues to go down, and I can’t seem to get my head down enough to choose just one. Another issue I am running into is with one of the characters in this particular arc that I fear may have been introduced too early, or maybe just inappropriately…I’m not sure yet. His name and character design are giving me the runaround as well. He is supposed to be Greek but I can’t seem to decide on his name. I may just hit up Google for a few ideas, I don’t really know yet. As far as his design goes, I have his demon form…ish…but his human form-That completely eludes me! I am at an absolute loss! Every time I sit down to draw him I completely lose my juice! I just come up empty! I sketched out two drafts in English class once while we were going over a grammar lesson, but placed both designs in the round file, as Colonel Johnson used to call it, soon after class let out. One looked like a character from one of the anime shows I had seen before, so it had to go, the other….I just didn’t approve it. For whatever reason, it was just not up to snuff for me. Yeah, I’m kind of just rambling, but that’s really the point of an online blog isn’t it? Anyhow, I think I am going to cut this off here, so I can actually log onto my math lab online and do this module so I can stop fretting over falling behind on my homework. I have 2 modules that I need to have done by….well, today is Monday…they are due…Wednesday! Isn’t that lovely? Yeah there’s a test on both of them that has to be completed on Wednesday in the Lab class and in order to have access to said tests, I have to have completed both modules. Fun fun. Oh well, Tis only a temporary thing. Just hang back and wait on the next post I make. I have some interestingly out there ideas for that one ;)
