Yeah, just so you guys know, I've been gone for a while. A lot of stuff has been happening with me lately and I've decided to include you guys in my life more.

First things first. I've been pretty busy since graduation, but I haven't been neglecting my art. I've been sketching a lot and I've got a bunch to upload. Also, I want to upload my "professional" work. Basically photos of stuff I did during my art class at school. It rly is a lot better than the stuff I normally upload. I also have the stuff in my sketchbook that I put a lot of effort into. Finally I have a lot of stuff I haven't uploaded, that's more of the same old, same old.

Now for my personal life. A friend of mine just graduated from basic training for the National Guard almost 3 weeks ago, so I took a 4 or 5 hour trip to the base with my sister and his girlfriend's family. When we got there we met up with his family. We spent 3 days there and then came home. I only got to spend a day at home before I had to take off again. There was a lot of drama with this that I'd like to keep off of dA, but those who know me irl prolly know a bit of why.

So this was my final year at band camp. :/ Yeah. Band Camp this year wasn't overly epic like years before. It felt like this year was my goodbye. Most of my better friends were graduated too so we talked about our plans and such and the ones that weren't were sad that I wouldn't be back. It wasn't overly depressing but it still felt very final. It actually felt more final than graduation. I'm rly going to miss my band camp friends and I actually plan on keeping in contact with them this year. My only regret about it in general was that I didn't spend more time with them. On top of having no free time this year, I had a friend who I had to watch over and my home friends kinda latched onto me eating my time like leaches. It's alright though.

Now this week, I've still been busy. My friend who graduated basic, was living in my house while I was at band camp and because I haven't really gotten to spend time with him for the past 15 weeks I had a lot to catching up to do. Also I needed to clean my room, unpack my stuff from band camp, pack my stuff for moving, clean the clothes I've been wearing all week, update facebook, update deviantArt, and work on a personal writing project. Normally I spend this week off at a friend's house to make sure he doesn't catch on fire, but he just got back from a trip to Europe to see his brother.

I've also signed up for summer classes. I'm taking PE and Watercolor. lol. Yeah, I didn't want to take anything academic because it'd be like returning to high school. I think I'm going to really enjoy these classes. Watercolor is Monday through Thursday and PE is Monday and Wednesday. The only problem is that they're 4 hours apart. I've been told both teachers are pretty lenient, so I'll prolly paint late and work out early and a yet another friend of mine are prolly going to take my portable dvd player and watch a movie in between. I'm really looking forward to it.

So that's where I've been what I've done and why you guys haven't seen or heard from me in a while.
