Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

This week's been a real pain. Aside from any Gaia problems, school is cracking down hard and finals are approaching, which means every teacher is rushing to stuff in as much work as they can. I feel like I'm falling behind in classes and I'm not getting the time I need to fix that.

I've been short with everyone and quick to temper, whether for good reasons (koffkoff) or bad ones. I can't wait for this semester to end.

And on a slightly related note, as soon as I finish the commission for Songjewel I think I'm going to take a break from doing Gaia commissions. I have all the money I need and I'd just frankly rather draw some things for myself and my friends. Commissions are only fun under ideal cirsumstances, and I've been a little disenchanted despite how many really great people I've worked with.

I got to talk to my dad about all this (sans gaia, as his response is always to tell me I should be charging real money), and at the risk of sounding like a momma's (daddy's?) boy, it made me feel a lot better. Dad's always really supportive, level-headed and knows what to say to put everything into perspective.

So things aren't great, but they aren't bad either.

I also need to finish drawing my brother's birthday present today. His actual birthday is tomorrow.
