hi!
i just uploaded some art from last year, still heaps to go (maybe 100 pieces?) but i have upload fatigue now 😵

anyway just a lil update!!! i finished my first semester at university and it went well!
at one point i was so stressed i went totally mute for two weeks 😇 but i pulled through and i am really happy with my grades!

i just finished my mid-year break and tomorrow i'm back to classes. i did the classic Jess move and got on my bike at the first available opportunity for a mid-winter adventure. i did a 1000km loop of the north island, slept in two public toilets, nearly got hypothermia once (got caught in torrential rain right before sunset), ate soo many cheeseburgers, and soaked in a natural hot spring! at one point while stealth camping i got discovered, but he just let me stay there lmao (it was raining too much for a tent. country girls make do).

i am training for a big cycling event in a couple months, so my weekly mileage on the bike is really ramping up, and my stomach is truly bottomless at this stage. just imagine me keeling over with agonizing hunger pangs 2 hours after a meal. damn. less than 10 women have ever completed the course in the time limit (36 hours), with less than 50 finishers overall. so of course i am chomping at the bit to get out there and rip myself to pieces 😎👉👉

also building a new bicycle for this event, which has me itching with anticipation. i am frothing over the mailbox waiting for the last parts to arrive. he is bright orange and has a penis sticker, so you could say he's perfect (you would be correct).

that's about all really!

hope you are all doing well!!!
