As the title says, I just wanted to let everyone know (well, everyone who reads my journal - which is probably one person) that I am in fact still alive. I haven't posted a deviation for a long long time, but that doesn't mean I'm leaving DA. I still lurk. I still look at all my friends pictures, and I still - definitely - enjoy art.
It's just hard at the moment to find time to do anything about it! I'm in my first year of a language degree, which is turning out to be way harder than I thought. Someone said to me the other day that university isn't about lectures and classes, it's about reading. And it is so true! I can't believe how hard I have to work to keep up with everyone else. My timetable is pretty full, too, 16 contact hours a week, and then add my travelling times (1.5-2 hours a day) and you can see why I might not have time for much art. I also have a job, which is quite demanding.
But I'm fine, it's Easter soon, so I break up for four weeks, which will be very much appreciated even if I spend most of it either at work or doing work for uni! At least it might mean I eventually get a lie-in.
So, I'm off again to get some more work done, I have to write a letter to the editor of a magazine arguing a point of view in reference to an article (in German, which obviously is not my native language!), which I am going to submit as my coursework next week. So now you all know what I'm doing instead of drawing
See you around soon (I hope)!
