2/18/18 The One in which Hope is Regained

I apologize for missing last week, completely slipped my mind. Well here we are! In February! Behind on my debt goals, but have been successfully paying off my trip to New York and England on time. Life has been good. I have some great people in my life who really love me and I do my best to love them back, and seem to be getting better at that. Becoming more and more likely that I'm going to get a raise at my job, which would be fantastic. At least keeping up on my grades and keeping them about a solid B, but that doesn't bother me too much, as they're just gen-eds and I'm really more focused on work right now. I'll keep a better A standard next fall when I'm debt free and it's a bit easier to manage my time.

Figured I'd have more to talk about. I guess the one thing I can say is I've started coming to terms with the fact that even though I tell myself I'm not doing art right now because of how much I'm working, there is a small amount of hiding from art by working. I can do some work and develop my skills a bit, but that's hard, and requires time, and until I sacrifice enough time to get in a position where I can work less than it's hard to commit all the way, but that doesn't mean I should look at it as an excuse to completely stagnate myself. It's all a matter of time... And I'm comin' for ya.
