That's right. I'm finally making an attempt to move out of my parent's house and start to be a little more independent. Wish it could have been sooner because I have less than a week before classes start for the fall semester. An alright 2 bed 2 bath duplex for $800 a month with a garage, yard, and nice mature trees. Still close to home which works for me because it means I'm still close to work and closer to campus so I don't have to drive, ever. Even in winter it is a 20 minute walk down the street and that is just awesome. Definitely excited but certainly nervous as well. Definitely a big responsibility and it is definitely going to test me. Going to have to cut back on a lot of expenses, but in the end I should be able to make it work. How long will I be at this rental? No idea. Possibly two years, but hopefully no more than that.

Fall semester is starting soon and I think finally, after 5 years of college, I'm starting to get into the flow and doing better in classes. 5 years I've been doing this and still have a solid three semesters to go. All those upper division class requirements. Wish I could have been a better student earlier on, but not everyone goes into college as a genius and does it in the magic 4 years. I'm sticking with it though, even with all the failed classes and threats of academic probation. Pushing through that and moving back up into a strong C level student and hope to keep going from there so I can move into the next big phase of life and have a career that I can enjoy and support my lifestyle with less worry paycheck to paycheck.

I'm guessing at this point I've become a shadow, here on FA. Just another person with the interest in furry and gets the occasional art done. I've let myself down on plans to rebuild my fursuit. All my materials have been collecting dust, untouched at least for a year. Not sure when I'll get back into it. I would love to be enjoying it all now while I'm still young (still not 24 years old, for another month), but certain goals need to be reached so I can do those things. Having a place of my own, a decent job to get me by with some money to play with, and whatever else. Glaux it would be amazing to go out in fursuit again. I miss that magic of slipping into a different character and just being loved by everyone. The world seems so much better through the mask with a thick fur layer on. I'll get back there one day and maybe in a full suit rather than my partials I've always made. One day.

This has been words from the beak of Purple the Gryphon. Good night.
