General Update

Hey everyone!
Just thought I'd make a journal just to catch you up on what's been happening with me at the moment.
Right now, all is very well. I have been busy in the real world and just been handling different things.
We had another roommate move in just last week. He's a close family friend, so no issues there with him. For the few weeks prior to that, Dad, Byrnzy and I were pretty much flat out trying to organize and prepare for him to move in. Thankfully it all went smoothly, and now I can get back into doing more of the things that I need to work on.
Speaking of which, I have been doing reasonably well concerning my artwork. Even though the lack of submissions might not exactly show that, but I do have my reasons (apart from what I've mentioned before). One being that I am working on the two largest commissions currently in my queue. One in particular has about 30 characters, the other one isn't exactly small either in numbers. But they are being worked on. After I get those two out of the way, I should be streaming to get the rest done. My ideal situation (not guaranteeing it at this point) is that I can have the queue done before the end of the year, then I can finally be officially open for commissions again for the first time in about two years XD The unfamiliar feeling of being closer to being up to date.
Also, I've gone to the university which I did my Cert IV Design course. I've been planning on finally continuing my studies after having those plans being forced to wait for over two years. I'm wanting to do my Diploma in Graphic Design. Only issue, is that it's going to cost about $10k for the 18 months I'd be doing this for. Thankfully, the payments are split into each of the semesters.
I just want to be out of the house doing something in my life, to help strengthen my career further. I've been tirelessly job searching for the last 6 months, and I've got no luck with getting job. I don't want to be spending my life being stuck at home, waiting for an interview call.
I've improved myself as a person within the that same time frame, and even a bit further back. I've made a lot of big changes to bring the best out in me. I used to be a pretty lazy person. I wouldn't really do much around the house, wouldn't find a job, keep being hygienic, etc. All because I wasn't brought up with a lot of discipline, so I kind of was a bum. Now I'm consistently doing chores, showering every day, I've taken small courses to gain better knowledge in how to get work, I've started going to the gym to help myself keep focused and motivate myself mentally in all that I do. I'm slowly re-learning to be less anxious when meeting new people. I know how to cook simple meals without having to constantly ask for help. A bit late to the adulting world, I know. But I'm just happy that I can actually push myself to do things for myself. To become more independent.
In general, some things have gone better than I'd hoped, some haven't.
You know what though? I'm very happy where I am right now. Might not seem like a have much, but I'm happy. I think the last update I gave was not long before I moved out of my uncles. I now have my own place again, I can apply for work and studies now that I have a address I can use. I live with my dad and two of my closest mates in the world, so I get a lot of support. I will be back at uni/college soon, which I'm quite excited for to be really honest with you. I'm happy with working on artwork, I'm in the creative mood that I hadn't quite felt since a long time ago. I've got the greatest friends anyone could ask for, I've have the best family. Without sounding too boastful, I have what I need right now to live a good life. And I never want to lose this feeling again that I have right now.
I love you guys <3 Keep being good to each other
Peace Out
