sooo....  i'm starting my final semester of college, which on the one hand is pretty awesome, but which is also pretty scary.  this semester is a little crazy, though i'm trying to take it easy with my last batch of classes by taking stuff i enjoy.  even so, i also have to finish up the senior seminar track for my major, which includes a huge final project.  i'm reading a lot of okinawan literature along with corresponding critical and contextualizing works, and it's fun...but i'm having trouble finding time to do the work.  i'm also dealing with my usual mess of medical issues -- oh, so much fun.    anyway.  besides work for the semester, i need to find a job and an apartment where i can live with my boyfriend and our two cats before the end of the year.

but no one's actually interested in all that stuff!  i've cleaned up the gallery a little, submitted a couple of photos, and i'm hoping to have a few sketches and things for the gallery soon.  but since i am super busy, it might not happen.  haha....

thank you to anyone who comments/faves -- i really appreciate it!
