finally balancing out, actually getting back to work
12 years ago
Alright, so things have been super rough lately and i haven't really given a proper update on my status, as well as commission statuses, in about three weeks, so here's an update for you.
school
i withdrew form my advanced conceptual illustration class, and was given a partial refund for doing so before midterms. However, i stayed in my Art History I class as it was the more financially sound option--if i withdrew from both [stopped classes altogether] i would owe around 4k to the school. By staying in one class, they give me $500. It's complicated but that's how it works.
Even so, getting my financial aid in order has been an absolute bitch--such as contacting my loan lender to tell them that in fact i have NOT dropped out of school completely because apparently they think i did and are now asking us to begin paying my loans off x.x so yeah, been busy with that alot :/
Still have school two days a week, but Art History is far less stressful, and i'm actually doing quite well in that class, and should pass with a B or possibly even an A. :) It's midterms this week so i'm not worried about whether or not i'll be able to handle it, things are going alright.
non-art work
currently i've got two consistent modeling jobs, one every friday [and occasionally mondays as well] downtown which goes for 2-3 hours starting around noon [hurray for sapping a whole day XD], and one every other wednesday evening. These are indefinite for the moment but i expect the wednesday one will only last another month or two, but i'm not sure.
On mondays i'm not modeling, i'm in mom's office for a half or full day, doign secretary time work--filing, organizing documents, sending out letters and packages, and also being trained to do registered payroll so that i can do some work at home as well.
commissions/art-related work
here's the current furry-related commissions i have to finish in the immediate future:
1. ears+tail for liz
2. tail for hizu
3. badge for ezekial
4. buttons for sashakitty
here are other commissions i have to work on in the very near future
1. Monster prototype sculpt to be cast and sold as toys for PYM
2. jackalope monster girl accessory set for Nora
3. dyed wig for Stef
i got really thrown off when school started, then anxiety, now the financial shit... it's like every time i seem to find some free time, something else comes up...
LIKE MY NEW DOG.
we got a dog.
have some pics 1 2 3
As you can see she's big. she's a year old. which means she's still a puppy, and will get bigger. This also means she has accidents. I probably spend at least an hour a day cleaning up accident, not necessarily cause they happen often, but more because when she pees in the kitchen its at least 3 feet across :I
that's about it for now. Hoping to get some sewing done tonight and will be doing some dyeing friday for the projects that need dyeing [because i gotta do it on weekends cause it takes up the whole bathroom for a day or two, and we only have one bathroom, and mom showers ever single day of the week during the work-week but on friday-saturday there's a break of time... yeah. it's been annoying trying to get a time to dye x.x]
