vampire academy

 

Finally submitted Creative Innovation thesis for approval. During our zoom meeting, prof joked "Do you have any ideas that are not vampire related?" Nope, I do not :D

 

Coming back has been a bit of a struggle. Thankfully, I am not working right now because it is taking me longer than usual to get my papers competed. Slowly, but surely, I'm finding my footing again. These classes are condensed, meaning that we fit 2 sessions into one quarter. So, when school lets out in May, I'll have earned approximately 24 credits, instead of the usual 12 per semester. Yeah, the intensity is not something I am used to, after nearly 2 years of brain fog and anxiety. Spring semester should be a breeze; I'm taking courses that I already feel well-versed in. Plus, they are finally ending the mask mandate, so I can actually leave the house and sit at a cafe or library to work.

 

In other news, I've decided that I need things to look forward to again. It really has been too long. Next Nocturna is in April, so I've already got that in my calendar. Over the past year, I just couldn't see the point in going to a crowded venue with a mask on. You can barely have conversations as it is because of the music, let alone wearing a mask.

 

Angela is doing Mardi Gras. Kinda jealous tbh but I don't think I'm ready yet for that large of a gathering. Oh well. I did a Mardi Gras layout for next week in my planner and I suppose it is perfect timing to begin working on my Anne Rice paper. Could even embrace the cliché and play Bloodletting on vinyl as I write hahaha ok I'll stop now.
