Let's don our holiday cheer~!

Or, y'know, whatever.

Why don't we have a "Stressed out of my %$&@ mind!" mood emote? Seems we should. Cos that's what's happening.

And I'm updating this when I should be cramming for two tests tomorrow because I've just spent three hours on a biology assignment and I need a break to clear stuff out of my head.

I finish finals next Wednesday, so then I'll be on winter break. It cannot come soon enough. I am sick of my roommate; I am sick of my noisy neighbors; I am sick of being stressed out of my mind over my homework. I doubt taking fewer credits next semester really means I'll be any less busy, especially since I'm hoping to find a part-time job, but I can certainly hope, right? Right??

A friend I have at college and myself are thinking, since neither of us was in any position to do NaNoWriMo last month, that over our winter break we and whoever else in the area wanted to, would do Win(ter)NoWriMo. Refraction is one of the projects I put on my list if I did do any writing during NaNo, and it remains on the list for this WinNoWriMo. Stoked.

On that note; not that anyone would be surprised by this point, but don't expect any art from me for a good long time, if ever. I've had the same sketchbook for about a year now, and less than five pages of it have been used. I simply do not have the time anymore. Maybe I'll take up drawing again, someday, but it's practically been retired for now. I have taken up painting (though I rarely have time for that either), but I don't feel like sharing those over DA; they're a lot more personal than my art because they're for the most part directly because of my faith. There's nothing blatantly Christian about them, but I would want to share the stories behind them, and then I would be at risk of people coming along and judging me for my faith. Irrational, since not that many people see my art anyway, but still. </ramble>

Personal life is better. Still not very impressed with the concept of a relationship -- I feel like a boyfriend, at this point, would be nothing more than arm candy. I really don't know what I would do with a boyfriend if I had one. But I genuinely believe I've now gotten over my ex-boyfriend, and that is good enough for me for the moment.

So don't worry about me on that front.

Well, it's not all good, because as I have said twice already, I'm stressed out of my mind about final projects and final exams -- I need more hours in a day and the ability to run on no sleep! -- and that stress is fighting to manifest itself in chocolate binges, which is a cycle I do not need to get into. May God protect me from these irrational cravings...
But I am comforted knowing that, no matter which way it goes, this is a temporary state. There are good things waiting for me once I get around this corner.

Not much else to say right now -- and not much time besides. I hope you are all well, and in case I don't update again before, say, January:

Merry Christmas, folks!
