Art stuff and Contest Updating

Soboy ostat'sya dol'she...
Okay! So, I have some art stuff due, the trade I have to finish, some arts for 
donyakavetta for getting me my first Alpacasso/Arpakasso plushie <3
and those arts of the 9 character headshots I did.
In case everyone thinks I'm being a slimy scammer, I promise I'm not. I haven't had time to work on anything with the semester start. All of my classes are going easy on homework except Human Relations. Literally something lengthy has been due the same day, every day. Like.. my first assignment on the first day was due by 11:59 pm same day. I woke up at 3pm, and I take about an hour to wake up. so I was ready to go by 4pm, however, the assignment [same as the one I had to do in the same class last semester;~:] was a giant essay about a time [or ongoing period] where I was at my best as a person. I had issues with it last semester, due to crushingly low self-esteem. So, I sat and sat and sat, and thought really hard, before asking my family what they thought. I then bullshitted my way through 3 pages, starting at 8pm [yes, it took THAT long to come up with what to write], and managed to finish it at 10:30pm.
I figured, 'Now, I'll have a week or so til the next assignment' since most classes give you a week to finish the work. Nope. Next day, ANOTHER essay about a 5 PART VIDEO FROM THE FRICKIN' 70's, a 2 hour special. Due at 11:59 pm. got it done easily, because I remembered the videos from last semester. Figured NOW I get my week, right?
Next Day: Grade 15 people's homework, AND reply to 5 classmates' post. Due 11:59 pm tonight. REALLY!? Why ;~;.
Figured I'd get a break? Nope. Gotta work on Chicago Style Citations. ;~;.
So, as you see, I have been slammed with homework, and I still need to apply for a proctor for my math class AND start all my homework for that class for the THIRD time. =/. 1st time I took it, I got a lot of it done, minus exams, because my frickin' proctor decided to wait until the last month of classes to accept my form. Last semester, same thing. School had a mix up, didn't tell me until a month in. Had to refill out the form. Sent it back in. Waited another month. Found out my proctor never received it. Last month, got it accepted, I got sick and had to drop all my classes. Finally hoping nothing goes wrong this time ;~;.
I'll be working on arts today, I hope.
TL;DR, all your art is being done, just very slowly. I'm really sorry.
CONTEST UPDATE:
Heard back from my school. Refund is coming likely next week. Prizes will be bought on the day of receiving it. Feel free to begin working on designs. I'll post pictures of the prizes when I get them. The BJD will likely take the longest to arrive. So as soon as I post up that I've paid for the prizes, expect at least 30 days before it arrives. May find some other prizes as well. Depends on how much I have to offer when I finish paying for current prizes, and buying stuff to help the house.

._. Means the next assignment is a three part video called: "The Burden of Acting White". Whole assignment is about black students who either purposely do poorly in school because other black kids will tease them if they try and say they're 'acting white' because they want to be successful and get an education, or students who do well in school despite what the other black kids say to them, and get picked on by white kids for not knowing their place, and teachers assuming they're just royally stupid and could never succeed.
._. I actually hate that assignment a lot, because I feel like watching a video like that is actually very racist in itself. "Hi there, African American student. Have you ever been told that you Act White? Do you purposely suck at school because other African American students will make fun of you? Are you doing well in school but feel that the teachers think you're retarded anyway? How does that make you FEEL?"
I just sit there like... This whole video is very racist, and insensitive to others cultural needs. I feel like it invites educators and students to continually propagate these incidents. =/. Blah.
Then after, I have to do a gratitude letter and deliver it to someone over Skype. I'm like.. I always say thank you when I receive gifts or kindness. I have no one who DOESN'T know how grateful I am. This is dumb. If anyone, I'd say thanks to my parents, and I live with them. Can't it be enough that I write the letter, and submit it? Why should I have to read it to them over skype? =/. Last semester, I wrote in entirely in Japanese just to be a trolling douche. I got an A =/. It was disappointing. I said I couldn't deliver it over Skype because it was addressed to a celebrity who doesn't have a skype XD.
That dude is genius. I wish I could get away with things like that! I saw something similar, like.. someone posted a picture of their homework, supposed to be like a four page essay on 'What is bravery?', and all they wrote was 'This is bravery.' and they got an A or A+, it was literally the greatest, most inspirational thing to see.
._. my first speech had to be about three things important to me that I could fit in a bag, so my Chuck Norris posters didn't fit, but after that, I tackled bullying and Chuck Norris's program for kids and teens to take martial arts lessons from his classes to help keep them busy so they don't do drugs and alcohol and gain self-confidence to stand up to bullies etc.
Then, I had to tackle LGBT discrimination in the workplace, and I mentioned Chuck Norris, despite being a devout Christian [notorious for cock-blocking LGBT love in some sects] was a supporter of LGBT rights.
Then, I had one about fitness, and referenced CN again xD.
Then, I had to do a speech on someone I admire. Did the whole speech on Chuck. xD.
._. That guy is a hero. I wish I knew where I could see his speeches.
