I've been getting really, really sparse with these. Truth be told, I don't really feel like a whole lot changes in my life - some days feel like I'm living the same day over and over again, but I digress.

Hey everybody, happy new year! 2024 is (hopefully) going to be a good year. Please be a good year. Please.

Christmas came and went really fast, and with it Christmas vacation as I am now 2 weeks into my next semester. Graduation should be about a year / year and a half away now. Looking forward to finally being done with these classes and going into the next chapter of my life.

Resolutions this year are more personal, of which I have 2: Consume less sugar with the intent to reduce it to near zero, and try to communicate with more people. Specifically, I've been pretty quiet with good people I'm friends with for a while and I really want to talk to them again, but I also don't want it to be just "hi how are you," which is really just a bare minimum.

Art-wise...I'm not sure. I will try to draw when I can, but as usual school takes precedence. I wanna try and post to multiple sites more often (since I now have a weasyl, an itaku, a bluesky, and so forth), though it gets very tedious trying to do that individually. Might see into getting a postybird or some other program that will help me do multi-posting. Also wouldn't mind looking into a linktree or some other site, though I think those cost money.

I'm also mildly sick. Got the flu first week of the year (after getting the vaccine days prior, lucky me) and while the worst of it has passed, I'm still dealing with an annoying cough.

I think that's about it. Not a whole lot considering my last journal was August of last year, but again I don't feel like there's been a whole lot to highlight. Happy Near Year everyone!
