Blah, MORE tired
18 years ago
First I want to say to everyone watching me, new and old: Thanks. It's hard for me to find motivation to stick with drawing anthro, since not a single one of my IRL friends is into it and I work best in rabid art groups. Knowing there are people who appreciate it somewhere makes it a lot easier. Which isn't to say that my friends don't appreciate my art at all...just...y'know. It's not their thing.
Anyway...blah, MORE tired.
So tired I had to take Friday off work...it's been a hell week and I just couldn't make it to the end. My last period (the school I work at has 6 periods a day, minus 6th period Monday for the weekly staff meeting...so 29 total, 24 of which I normally work. This is on the upper end of what most of the "real" teachers do. This week I'd worked 27 classes plus hours after school, which is pretty excessive. The other teachers put in longer hours overall but the Japanese work ethic is "stay a long time, take a long time doing it," and I'd had to haul ass nearly without a break for the whole week. Even during lunch I'd graded papers almost every day.) was supposed to be an observation, for which I had been instructed to be energetic regardless of how tired I was. That...just wasn't going to float. My definition of 'energetic' had dropped to a level of 'I'll try not to lay on the floor and cry but no guarantees' and I was experiencing severe vertigo and a low fever. I figured going home and sleeping was the best possible route, and boy was it. I would not have survived Friday without locking myself in the bathroom and crying, and I wouldn't have had time to do that anyway.
So. I'm terribly tired and have had no time to draw ANYTHING, for FA or not, last week. Ugh.
I guess I could roll out Photoshop and finish the (horribly badly-proportioned, looking at it again) pic of Spring+Summer I've been on-and-off working on. It's almost done so I guess it won't be too bad...and I have a few older things I haven't scanned or uploaded yet...so it's not a lost cause.
