Perhaps it's to be expected, what with life and work and school and friends and stuff, but I still wish I was a bit better about updating this account. It's not that I don't draw - that's not it at all! I draw plenty enough. It's a question of quality and actually dragging myself over to my scanner to scan them in. I can only procrastinate so long, though, before I start going "Well, I should probably do that soon or else people will get upset..."
Unfortunately, my scanner isn't large enough for some of the stuff I really wanted to scan. Go figure.
In other news, school's plugging along as usual. There's not much more to say there, really. It's just the same old, same old as far as schoolwork goes. Of course, FIRST Robotics is kicking into high gear. Go ahead. Call me a geek. I dare you to! *proud of geekdom* But I've been in competitions in that twice in the past three weeks with another competition coming up on Thursday to Saturday. It's fun, but tiring. Presenting in front of judges for the most prestigious award is fun in its own small way. I'm kinda sad to see it go. This is my last year on the team as a student.
It's been a bunch of lasts lately, actually. Being a senior is a bittersweet time. I'm leaving behind things I love and things I hate. I had my last band concert Sunday, in which my band got a standing ovation for one of our pieces. Goosebumps. Then, being the emotional sap I am, I went and bawled into a friend's shoulder. XD
I'm also looking at my last few months of working at my part time job. It's a family-owned business, run by a close member of my immediate family. The people there that aren't blood relations might as well be. That's how close I am to them, even the grumpy and irritable ones. And, after three and a half years, I'll be leaving to go off to college. It's... hard. It's been a big part of my life. I'll miss it more than I know right now, especially since I leave in the first week of July to move in. My classes start mid-July. It's strange, knowing that I'll be going off to college two months earlier than virtually everyone else I know from my town, and a bit lonely.
The thing is, though, that I know that there'll be plenty of opportunities for me there. If there wasn't, then what good would college be? Again, it's just that I'm leaving behind everything I know - my family, my friends, my town - to go to a strange city at a school where I don't know many people. It's not that I'm afraid; I'm just not sure exactly how things will go yet. Needless to say, I like knowing things. XD
I think that's my ramble for now. Better out than in, I suppose!
