2017 was a weird year for me. I felt really stagnant during the first half of it. But in the weeks and months after Eurofurence, I started making some changes that will carry over into the new year.

1. I joined a weekly art class that lasts 35 weeks. It started in September and will continue until May this year. That'll help a lot with motivation to keep drawing and practicing.

2. I started a habit of drawing daily. Right now I'm working on a big perspective course, but once that's done in a few weeks, I'm going to seriously study human anatomy with Proko's course. Putting the anthro in anthropomorphic! That'll take months, but the plan is to move on to properly learning digital painting in Photoshop after that. Right now I'm mostly just messing around on my iPad Pro if I do digital art.

3. Started therapy to get my anxiety and depression under control. That also started in September. I'm starting to notice quite a few improvements now. The main habit for me is to write down 5 things I enjoyed every single day. Helps me think positively.

4. And of course I got involved in this whole furry thing! Eurofurence was a blast. And I'm going to return this August. Additionally, I will almost certainly go to MFF as well.

I'm going to try my darnedest to make 2018 an awesome year, regardless of what life throws at me. :)
