It's been a while
So it's been a long time since I wrote anything here on my journal. I guess I don't have that much to update on, but I have enough I think.
I'm not even going to bother putting this behind an LJ-cut.
I'm going to be going to college soon, hopefully by this fall. I'm going to try to go for Animation at Kellogg Community College which is located in Battle Creek, but we have a center here in Coldwater so we don't have to drive the half hour every single class day.
The classes are like, $500 per class and that's not even including the books. I have applied to FAFSA but I am not eligible for a Pell Grant from the Government. Which sucks. Royally.
The good news is I am going to get some money and even a loan to be able to go to school. BUT. I will be needing to pay this back at some point seeing as it is in face a loan.
tl;dr I'm going to college. Shit is unfortunately expensive.

I'm also trying to get a job, seeing as getting commissions isn't working. I was tempted to see if Uncle John and Aunt Karen would take me back, but the answer would probably be no because I feel as if I had over stayed my welcome there.
I'm going to be aiming at a few places though. Like the local Gamestop, Dollar General, Citgo, NCG Cinema, and a few others. I'm hoping at least one of those places would be willing to let me work there.
If there is one thing I've learned over time, is to never lie on an application. Employers DO check your background and work and they WILL know if you're lying. The best thing to do is to tell the truth, but make it worded properly so it doesn't sound as harsh as saying 'fired' or 'quit' when asked why you left your previous job.
tl;dr I need a job and I'm looking for one.

I've been rather depressed lately. Ever so slowly have I been recovering but it seems that whenever I get close, something else hits me back down. Either boredom, yes I know it's lame but it's a reason I get depressed. Over thinking situations, especially when left alone for too long. I'm not anit-social or anything, so when I'm not around people, I can defiantly feel it.
tl;dr I may be depressed, or I'm just bored.

I haven't been drawing enough lately because I feel as if there is something I should, or shouldn't be doing. Could be the depression talking, so who knows. All I know is that I want to draw more, but I can't find the time, inspiration, or energy to do it. Where is my muse when I need one?
Of course this all changes when I get a commission for some reason. Maybe it's because I know I'm getting something in return for using my energy? Last commission I got I was excited to do it, because it was something to do and to get me out of my usual bored state.
tl;dr Commissions are open. Hire me.
