Well, it's been a trying few weeks. Maybe not as trying as some of you, but it's definitely put me to the test.

So, last semester was great with my graphic design classes. I learned a lot and figured out graphic design isn't for me. I have a knack for logo design, but that's about it. So, I applied to grad school and took some art classes this semester. WHAT A MISTAKE. I have been treated like some stupid 18yo kid for the whole semester. I have a degree in art and no one will take me seriously. It's pissing me off royally. I've also been annoyed constantly by the little gay kids who think I'm just gonna drop everything and fuck them, or let them do me and it's not gonna happen. (seriously, the gays around here are INCORRIGIBLE!) I've also been forced to do a whole bunch of projects that have nothing to do with what I want/need to learn in art. It's just a bunch of repetitive bullshit.

Then, this past week was spring break and my boyfriend was sick for most of it, which totally killed the mood. Not his fault, but it still sucked. I wanted to surprise him with ... things...and we couldn't do anything.

My home-business has been sucking it up bigtime and not turning any profit. I'm over 2 months in with only 5 sales and I'm about to quit. My boyfriend just ordered more supplies and signed up for a craft show hoping we could make some cash.

My freelancing gig doing craft-stuff and photo-editing was going alright until the bitch I work for decided to not let me do photos (my main cash source) for over a month and the first week she lets me do them again, she bugs me incessantly for the photos RIGHT FUCKIN NOW. We have poor lighting and I'm not a magician. I had to hand paint a whole bunch of her photos to get the colors perfect because she won't pay me until she "approves" all the photos. Seriously, never doing this again.

I've also thought my commissions were gonna take off, but I can't seem to get any watchers for some reason. I'm not a digital artist, which is probably shooting me in the foot. Maybe I'll figure it out eventually. (and no, i'm not begging for commissions)

And, to make it better, all this tension is going to the base of my skull and pulling on my head all day, giving me the worst migraines I've ever had.

so....to say the least...been kinda shitty lately.

There, got it all out. May the odds be ever in your favor.
