[no streams]
As a few people have noticed, I streamed tonight (while it is past midnight on the East Coast, I still consider it to be Sunday - THE DAY SHALL NOT END UNTIL I SLEEP, I SAY).
I WILL NOT be streaming tomorrow (Monday) or Wednesday, and it's unlikely that I shall be streaming during the following two weeks.
This was a last-minute change on my part (hence, no previous journal pointing this out), but I have a pair of good reasons for it.
a) I'm moving back out to college on September first, and I really need to get my things packed (and go on a supply run or two). Given how long it took me previously to pack, I feel like this is the sort of timeframe I need.
b) I am getting my wisdom teeth removed on Thursday (August 18th). My appointment is for 7:30am, which is a full four and a half hours before I'm normally awake. I don't see myself doing anything except sleeping and drooling (except maybe eating pudding or something) for the rest of the day, and I quite honestly won't have the brainpower to do anything else anyway. For several days following that, I'll be taking strong painkillers in addition to following whatever other instructions I am given by the oral surgeon.
So.
If I can't get my things travel-ready before Thursday (barring any shopping trips), I'll have to take care of it the following week (given that I'm not feeling too terrible). This means that in addition to however I'm feeling from medications, I'll also be physically tired from moving things around (as travel-ready means by the door for easy loading into our van).
Now, streaming in the few days following my appointment would be very entertaining, but I don't think I should push myself into doing such things (besides, I already have a thing or two planned). However, if I'm not feeling terrible (and have gotten my things together) I will consider streaming.
[date/time changes]
Once I do get back on out to RIT, I need to rearrange when I do streams - the way my new schedule is, the new potential times are:
Mondays after 10pm (with an 8am class the following morning)
Tuesdays after 6pm
Wednesdays after 10pm (with an 8am class the following morning)
Thursdays after 3:30pm
Fridays at any time
Saturdays at any time except for 6pm through 9pm (flexible)
Sundays at any time and ending before 7pm (not flexible)
( my weekends are Friday through Sunday )
As of right now, my new time will be Thursdays at about 4pm.
The first stream under this time will be on September 8th.
Some important things to note:
- My schedule can and WILL change. - While I can change my classes around during the first week, it is highly unlikely I will. However, I will have to adjust for any new things that come up - mainly, weekly meetings that I can't account for because of not knowing their times. I will update accordingly once I figure them out, but they shouldn't conflict with my current choice (they may, however, limit how long I can stream to four hours or less).
- This new schedule will ONLY be in effect during fall quarter. - For me, this means September 5th through November 19th (my college uses a quarter-based academic schedule). Midterms don't have official dates, but final exams are November 14th through 19th and it is supposed to be quiet in the dorms. Because of this, it's unlikely that I will stream that week (not to mention that we are allowed to leave for break once we are done with our exams). Stream times during my fall/winter break will be decided once I'm back home.
- Because of my three-day weekends, I might go home Thursday after my classes. - If this happens, I will make a journal about it ahead of time and bring my camera home with me so I can stream on Friday instead. I will aim for this replacement stream to start at 8pm (so I'm not interrupted for dinner). If this conflicts with the reason I came home, then it will be canceled for the week (sorry, but I just don't wanna stream on Saturdays/Sundays if I can avoid it).
- I plan on getting a job on campus, and it might not have a stable schedule. - This is the major thing I have in mind when saying that my schedule will change. I only have so much control over when I can work, and scheduling for it can only really be bent around by my academic schedule. While this means that I'll finally have a source of income (and can, therefore, get supplies more often), it might come at the cost of not having weekly streams (at least, at a consistent time). I'll keep you posted.
If Thursday isn't convenient for you, please keep in mind that aside from the previously noted commitments and any pending changes, my weekends are open.
I did say that I'd rather not stream on weekends, which is still true, but depending on schedule commitments (and general level of boredom versus interest in schoolwork) I might do occasional weekend streams. They wouldn't be consistent, but logging in to see that an artist you like to watch work is suddenly streaming is a nice surprise, right? I also feel bad for the folks that've been in the chat before but can't set aside time during the week because of scheduling conflicts.
It's also possible that I might stream while I work on school things (outside of Thursday's stream, of course). This quarter I'm in an animation class and a web development class (these are the classes that run so late on Mondays and Wednesdays, respectively), and streaming while I work on those could be interesting. There's also a couple of projects I've kind of been working on over the summer (and one that I know I will have to do during the year for something else, but it probably won't start until winter quarter) that I really should finish. Or working on chainmaille, as my Saturday commitment is the club that got me started with this as a hobby (the meetings are more like an excuse for us to sit around for three hours and partake in shenanigans, but it's good fun).
Anyway, thank you for reading.

Fall quarter streams will be Thursdays at about 4pm, and will start on September 8th.
Until then, I most likely will not do any streams because I have to pack and will be getting my wisdom teeth removed.
