Big Changes (non-business stuff)
12 years ago
Currently going through some pretty big changes in my life. I've made several important decisions recently, which I am stuck with, for better or for worse.
With how badly school has been going, I have decided to withdraw. I am not sure if it will be permanent, but I am taking at least one semester off. Trying to do school at the same time as growing FursuitSupplies was a mistake, and has resulted in me neglecting myself and my social life. I haven't had much time to relax between the two, making it increasingly obvious that I need to pick one and go with it.
I am planning to take this time to focus primarily on my business. I feel like I can get a lot more done, and hopefully I will be a lot happier if I can do business without having to worry about when homework is due and when I need to be in class. I am planning on doing shipments every business day (M-F) as soon as the semester ends instead of the current schedule of Tuesdays and Fridays, and I should have more time to work on product development and customer service as well. I'll also be able to deal at more conventions with no Friday or Monday classes to worry about.
I'm also going to try and take some of the time where I won't be in class to work on rebuilding my social life and to work on my anxiety issues. Over the last few years, with being so busy (social anxiety didn't help), I allowed most of my real-life friends to fade away and didn't make time to find new ones.
I will be moving into an apartment in the next month or two - I feel like I won't get much done if I live at home, and the added expense of an apartment will be extra motivation to be working. Not to mention it will be really nice to have my own space, and a place I can invite people over to once I have some local friends. :)
Here's hoping that things will be improving for me soon, and that I haven't made a huge mistake. Worst case scenario, I will go back to school for the Fall 2014 semester.
