StillWaving

Happy September everybody! Here's to the end of summer and the beginning of school and fall (and cute fall fashion) and gorgeous leaves and everything else that comes with it (summer is my favorite season, and I'll miss it, but fall is awesome too).

I'm so sorry that I've died guys, I'm afraid I wound up working full time over the summer at a summer camp (I do love children but they really wear me out). School has started again (I'm a senior in college... can you actually believe that??). I don't want to graduate in spring (as I'm terrified about either getting a job or getting into graduate school for my MFA in animation) but what'll happen will happen I guess... Hopefully now that school has started I'll be able to post more art (since I'll have art for school at least).

In other news (beyond being old because I'm a university senior) I'm turning 21 on Wednesday... I will be legally able to drink ('cuz you know me... drunk all the time, lol) I don't really want to drink, but really it's the principle of the thing...

In other-other news, I'm going to go see Fall Out Boy (for the 2nd time this year alone (3rd time overall)) and Panic at the Disco on the 10th <3 <3 <3 so excited.

Hopefully you guys'll be seeing much more of me now that I'm not working day in and day out, so please feel free to send me lots of messages, I love hearing from you all and I shall respond as quickly as possible (it's also incentive for me to go onto deviantart which means you guys'll get a lot more art *wink wink nudge nudge*)

Hey guys, thought I'd let you all know (even though I'm basically dead on here) that I will be going to Otakon (my first convention ever!!!) on the Saturday and Sunday (I still have work on Friday and will need to drive up to my apartment). If any of you are going and want to attempt to meet up please just shoot me a note and I'll see what I can do

Why in the hell am I doing this?? I don't know... I should be doing my homework or doing something else productive... or actually drawing....

Well I had my last final (3 paintings) due Tuesday night and I've been sleeping and relaxing ever since, so YAY!!! I made it!!

I do have a class starting on Wednesday but it's only on Wednesday so I'm going to try and post some art before I start working full time in a month (we're talking like 11 hour work days 4 days a week... so don't expect too much stuff then)

Also I've now seen Star Trek Into Darkness twice and if you haven't seen it go do so now. It's so much better than the first plus it has my husband in it (Benedict Cumberbatch).... seriously I started crying when I saw it at an early release because he's just that freaking gorgeous....

I swear I'm not dead guys. This semester has just been insane, I'm in all my upper level courses now and I've got to begin the countdown to graduation in a year... so yeah, I haven't had any real free time to myself (to do anything really, let alone to draw for fun or complete requests).

My finals week just started today though (and goes until next wednesday) so after that my summer begins and I intend to spend it sleeping and doing the art that I want to do (and finally reading a ton of books I want to read for fun)

So I apologize for being, effectively, dead this entire semester, but I shall try and come back to life this summer (though when next semester starts I still can't make any promises, it'll be yet another 18 credit semester). Hopefully I'll see you all soon.

I'm still responding to messages and notes, but I'm awfully slow. If you want/need to contact me faster you can shoot me an ask or something on my tumblr, I'm on that far more often than I should be (ifitsbritishimprobablyafan.tumblr.com).

Thanks for your patience darlings and I'm so sorry I'm not around to love you all as much as you deserve <3
