For those of you who read my previous journal, I was having some problems with a couple papers I needed to write. I finished the first one really easily, but the book report was more difficult. Since I hadn't read the book, I was just going to find online sources that told me what I needed to know. Unfortunately, there was nothing useful online. So I actually had to read the whole book before I started writing. What I ended up doing was buying the audio book version and playing it on X2 / X1.5 speed through the whole thing, finishing the book yesterday. Today, I spent my free time writing the paper and I just finished a few minutes ago. So, YAY!!! The quality is probably only average and I'm probably not going to get more than a 70/100 points, but I don't really care. It's a geography class. I'm an aviation major. I don't give a crap about this class. It's just credit hours.

So, to celebrate (before I go immediately to bed, since I have to wake up at 5:30 in the morning to go flying), I'll tell you my inspiration for the design of my fursona, for those of you who might be interested. It's a pretty boring and short story. It's actually not even a story. Before I joined the furry community, my username for EVERYTHING used to be Wolfen320 (320 is my birthday). Once I joined, I wanted a better name for myself, but I wanted to keep the first name Wolfen (since I love it for some reason). My first thoughts were something like Wolfen Raven or Wolfen Nightshade. I settled with Wolfen Shadow just because it sounded okay.

The problem then, was that I didn't have a design for my character. I wanted something with the color grey (my favorite color), blue (my eyes) and blonde (my hair color...sorta). However, I couldn't come up with anything and it didn't quite fit the last name Shadow. Too light. I needed something with black. I couldn't think of any color that black complimented more than red. So I kinda turned completely around and made a totally different design (my current design). In the future, I might evolve it a little more, just to give it some more flare, but for now, I have become really attached to how my character looks.

Here's a generic ref sheet that I colored in (I am by no means an expert, so forgive my sloppiness in some areas): http://s7.postimg.org/4pjn4ohwr/refsheet2.jpg
