Life Update: College, Japanese and an iPad OvO
5 years ago
I just wanted to post an update journal to let everyone know where my life is at right now. I'm currently attending my second semester of an accounting certificate at my local college. The first semester was pretty easy, but this one is ROUGH. I think one of my teachers likes to watch us writhe in pain. I have enough homework that Sunday and half of Saturday are my only free times.
I've started learning Japanese and refreshing my French on the side. So far, my French isn't improving because Duolingo put me at the first level despite my current skill level. However, I think my Japanese is progressing nicely! I've learned all the hirigana characters and their pronunciation. I can technically read, write and say anything in Japanese now! As long as it doesn't contain any kanji or katakana at least.
Also, big news: I bought an iPad! I've wanted one for a long time to practice art, and I saw one on eBay for 200USD so I yoinked it. :3 I'm really excited. I've also started practicing doing my own art (no bases) by doing anatomy skeleton line things over my own body, then trying to fill it out without the original picture. It might be a weird way to go about it, but I think it might work? Let's hope so.
Well, that's all. I don't really expect anyone to care much, but thought I'd update the few that might. Hope everyone is having a good 2021!

And no worries. My French isnt the greatest haha. How’s German? If Japanese goes well, maybe I’ll look into learning that too, since why not?
As for my art on the iPad, i dont know if ill upload anything for a bit since i’ll have to get used to it >~<
And that's a really good idea! I could also try to recreate my own characters' ref sheets as well.
