Busy Busy Busy

 Whenever I get busy, I think about the antagonist from the animated Frosty the Snowman movie. Specifically his nasally voice saying "I'm busy. busy busy busy." Not important though. No huge updates this week. I've just been busy doing homework, working and not having much free time until I'm already tired and basically braindead.  I'm very tired of hard, uncomfortable chairs. My computer chair is uncomfortable and the chair I've been using at work is uncomfortable. It's taking a toll on my hips. Still another week of not drawing, but I feel my schedule was a bit of an excuse here. In a couple weeks I'm heading to Delaware for my cousin's wedding. After that, I think my schedule will even out. I kinda regret taking an extra day at work. It's exhausting working 9 hours a day, bored for most of it, sitting in an uncomfortable chair. I do need the money.... Mentally, I feel it's taking a toll on me too. My coworkers can't even be bothe...

Another Week, Another Bout of Imposter Syndrome

 I feel like I'm starting to have a better grasp of what I need to do for these classes. I have to do a paper as my final on an archetype and I'm starting to question if doing Heroes and the Hero's Journey was a good idea. Might have my work cut out for me (I still don't understand that saying. I only recently learned it means the opposite of what I thought  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯). I still, however, feel unproductive. I'm getting my work done, going to my job, and doing chores regularly, but I feel like I'm still not doing enough to accomplish my goals. I did have some inspiration for Elditone based off my class. I'm writing a mythology book to go with the game's lore about the gods (making it written from the perspective of an archeologist so some things might be wrong or incomplete and some things might be lies the gods made).  I keep talking about how I need to draw but it's difficult to sit down and just do it and when I do, either I draw a blank or somethin...

Schedules are Rough

 I've never been good with schedules. In college, even, I would miss class and assignments often. I would have to set multiple reminders for finals. It's a wonder that I passed. Even now I struggle to keep to a school schedule. you'd think it would be easier considering work is stagnant and I should have time for the readings and assignments, but I instead just distract myself with meaningless shit. Maybe it's because the class isn't game design but instead a mythology class that seems almost chaotically designed.  I finally don't have plans on my days off. Maybe I can catch up/get ahead. In the meantime I still have an assignment due tomorrow based off the readings. My computer is struggling. I actually sat down to draw (be proud of me) but my tablet struggled to connect and the program I use refused to open. On top of that, I couldn't download the update for a game for my stream. I'm afraid that it may not last before I finished saving for a replacemen...

Another Week

 It's been a week. I submitted my first assignments which were fine. Other than that, I went home and brought my cat with. She seemed actually happy even though she knew there was another cat in the house. We kept them separated, but had them eat on either side of the door and had a no contact face to face. Currently we have them switched. Harper is shut in the bedroom and Marcy is wandering. Marcy is having a blast. Harper is not. Marcy will hiss but ultimately doesn't care. Could be because she's the "intruder" in this scenario, but when we brought her home with my brothers cat (Topher) and the family cat (Static), she wouldn't leave the crate for almost two days. I'm stressed. Depressed. There is a lot to think about at one time for me. I have readings to do, things to submit, jobs to apply to, work to go to and on top of that, talking to people is exhausting. My father, especially. Not my place to say right now anything. It's just draining. Work is...
