Been a while.
It's been a while since I've made a proper journal entry here. I ended up coming down with a really bad sinus infection that seriously took me out for a week, and it took me another full week to really recover from. Seriously that first week back to school, I would just get tired walking from the parking garage into class. I missed so many classes and it's been a bit of a struggle to catch up, but I think I've made it. I still have some sinus issues, but I'm hoping that continuing to use my nasal spray and drinking plenty of fluids will get me cleared out.
I'm in the middle of judging the first fanart contest for Patches. I really didn't get as many entries as I would have liked, so I imagine that must be a sign that I don't really have the fanbase for it yet. As it is I don't plan on holding another contest for some time.
I am really wore out this semester, which I think is what helped lead to my getting sick. Until I became sick, I didn't have any time to pursue any leisure activities, save for television watching and that could only be done because I could multitask and work on my drawings for class while I casually watched. When I became sick, I spent my days in bed playing video games, and it felt really good to be able to play games again and just have fun for the sake of fun even though I was sick.
I decided then that I'm not going to push myself the rest of this semester to try to get comic work done. I already have so much classwork to do that I don't need the extra weight of feeling like I need to get comic work done too. From now on all of my free time I am going to spend doing something relaxing. It may be that in a couple weeks I may want to work on my comic, and it will be relaxing, but right now it's just stress, and I need a chance to get away.
Speaking of getting away, I need to get my butt to class. XP
