To all my amazing friends and correspondents, I hope you guys have all been doing well and are having an enjoyable summer! It certainly has been a long time since my last post, and with how much my personal life has changed in the past three months, I really haven't had much motivation to make any new journal or deviation posts. :/
I guess to start things off, I finished my final semester of college about three months ago, and the weeks leading up to graduation couldn't have been any more productive. Graduation and the time thereafter was a lot of fun, as expected, but since then I've moved back in with my family and have been searching for a job. Unfortunately, it's been completely unsuccessful so far, but hopefully I'll get lucky soon, I think it's just a matter of putting more effort into my applications and working harder to find a career path that's right for me. Other than looking for jobs, nothing else has really gone on for me this summer. I've had so much free time lately that it's just been overwhelming, so naturally I haven't been motivated to log on to DA as much because I've just been so darn lazy. v.v However, all this free time has given me a chance to get caught up on a lot of the video games I have lying around, and I have actually been doing a bit of drawing lately. I also got to go to a OneRepublic concert in my area over a month ago, so that was very fun and memorable! Besides that, I've just spent my summer going to the gym and doing nothing much in between, hm.
It's been a very idle summer for me thus far, but now that it's August, I got some interesting plans that I'm very much looking forward to. I'm actually planning on attending a local convention this weekend, but not an anime convention like I've usually done in the past. This time I'll be attending BronyCon 2014, since I've really gotten into the My Little Pony fandom this past year. I also have a wedding to go to at the end of the summer, and I can't think of a better way to finish off the month of August. C: Overall, it's been pretty relaxing being at home all summer and having all this free time, but with how busy everyone else around me is and how little I've accomplished within the past few months, I can't help but feel like I'm going crazy with where I'm at in my life. x( But that's okay, these kinda things have a way of sorting themselves out, so I'm just gonna stay patient and positive and wait for whatever challenge life throws at me next. I guess this is the life of a college graduate, hehe.
I'll be sure to post a few new drawings in the coming weeks, hopefully I can stay motivated to get some more work done.
I wish you guys all the best!

Life updates
It's been over four years since my last update here, and after logging on every once in a while to check my messages, I figured I'd finally sit down and write my thoughts out and reflect on everything that's been going on in my life since I last posted anything in 2016. At the very least, this will be for my own peace of mind since I'm not sure if any of my friends and followers are still active on DA. I'm amazed that I'm still getting comments and faves on a lot of my old artwork, it's quite humbling really. There are a number of reasons that have kept me offline over the last few years. First and foremost, I don't really use DA as a communication platform anymore, since most of the close online friendships I've made here have either fizzled out, or the friends I do keep in touch with have transitioned to other social media platforms like Facebook or Instagram. As I've mentioned in the past, I'm extremely grateful to the close, enduring friendships I've made here that still continue
Reached the home stretch
Happy holidays, gang! It's been a long time since my last deviation or journal post, and I thought I'd give a quick update before I leave work for my Christmas vacation. I know it's become kinda cliché for me to say at this point, but wow, the past four months have probably been the busiest I've ever been in my entire life! *_* I can't believe how much has happened since my last update.
Since the new school year started here in Moldova back in September, I've had to help teach 20 hours of English a week, taking charge of extracurricular activities after school, applying for grants and writing projects for our school, putting more hours
Halfway done with Peace Corps
Hey guys, I know it's been a few months since my last journal post, so I thought I'd make a short update to let you all know how my summer has been. It's already been 14 months now since I first came to Moldova with my group of fellow volunteers, I can't believe it's already been a year now and how quickly time has flown by. I got just one year left, and the group of volunteers that just finished their service have said that the second year of service goes by a lot quicker! O_o Fortunately I've got enough work in my Moldovan host community to keep me occupied this next year; working as an English teacher has been my main job, and we have just
Been feeling out of sorts...
Hey guys! It's certainly been a while since my last update. To be honest, I think this has been the longest I've gone without updating on DA, wow! O_O I just wanna start off by saying thank you so much to all you guys for your patience, and your continued love and support outside of DA, be it through Facebook, Skype, or email. Many of you have been fantastic at reaching out to me over the past few months. "Busy" doesn't even begin to describe how my life has been over the past year. My life has changed considerably since I left for Moldova to work in the Peace Corps last June. It's almost coming up to a year now since I first came out here. I

Hey!! Congratulations on the graduation! That truly is a milestone you have achieved. Getting employed does take time and I like the attitude you are already taking towards it.
Hope you have fun on both events.
