Off I go again, back to Savannah! My last quarter at SCAD begins on Monday. BIZARRE.
And as I have to move back into the dorms and get all settled in, I'm unsure of my next update. I do have arts I should be posting on here sometime soon, I hope. We shall see.
Have a lovely weekend you guys! I'll be back around this weekend, provided internet works at the dorms (it better). Bye!

Let's face it:
Mylifeisboring.
I found out my brother is going on a second cruise this summer. It got me thinking...I want to do fun things too (it seems all my family members go on vacations and don't invite me unless it's free :/). All I do is go to school and cons and since I probably won't go to Otakon this summer I want to do something fun!.
I wanted to see Lady Gaga in NY which is coming in July? I think... but the issue is I don't have a place to crash and I doubt anyone would be dumb enough to take the 11 hour train ride with me to NYC. So I searched her events for the year and she is coming to North Carolina TWICE!!!
It's fate!
I have several months to get tickets!!!

This week sucked. I talked to my teacher about my grades. She pretty much told me that she had asked me if I needed help multiple times. Which is true, she did ask if I needed help but she said it like she was asking if I needed help understanding the work. She should have said "Hey do you need any help, because I am having trouble getting YOUR work." She says she uses the server to communicate with her students and that she has all these students and it's really annoying to go back and regrade work. She also told me she would "think" about regrading my work, but if she does she will 10pts from each and if that added up with my midterm exam grade is good I can stay and if I bomb the midterm I have to leave. I am pretty sure I am leaving. What pisses me off is that she told us about how she had to come to school early in the morning for a few hours ALONE while she fixed a second year's student project yet she couldn't go over to my computer IN THE SAME ROOM and check to see mine. Ugh! whatever.
I told Mr.Pretty Eyes I didn't want to be friends with him anymore. Heather told me he broke up with gf for a girl in England. Before that he had sex with her and then dumped her and while she was crying told her "at least you can be a whore now". I hate it when guys treat girls like they aren't even human and that was totally uncalled for. The little respect I had for him just went out the window when I heard what he did. He told Heather not to tell me, but she did because she also really doesn't want to deal with him anymore. Heather and Evan had been friends for a long time before I showed up and they were going to move in together so Heather could move out of her house away from her parents. Until Evan started making her feel uncomfortable, he told her she wouldn't have to pay rent if she slept with him. Heather told him she was a lesbian and he went all "okay whoever you bring over have to have sex with me."
Evan told her he was going to come to ACC to cuss her out for telling me, but never showed up. He didn't want me to know because he still has a crush on me despite me telling him I have a boyfriend last semester and SEEING ME WITH HIM at my birthday party. I don't want to deal with him anymore. I felt really bad when his old gf fucked him over and I tried to comfort him. I tried to stick up for him since I don't like people ganging up on others yet he just made me look like an ass because he deserved it this whole time.
I hope this made sense. I am fucking exhausted and need to pass out soon. My class was SUPPOSE to end at 2:45, but we didn't get out of there until 3:30!!!!!!!!!! our projects are almost due so we had a lot to work on. My teacher gave up half way and was just like it's late go home!
On a lighter note my Mystic Meg fortune on Facebook came true!:
"Jenn, I bring you GOOD news! A pleasant surprise in yellow is in store for you."
After my class this morning I ran into Mike and Heather and Mike offered me his last snack. HE WAS WEARING A YELLOW SHIRT!. I accidentally screamed "OMG YOU'RE WEARING A YELLOW SHIRT!" and he goes "OMG I AM!!!!!"
I was really hungry TTATT;

Hey guys!
Remember when I used LJ to post just about everything I drew?
Well, I kind of want to go back to that. I love sketches and unfinished work. Since that's just about what I have time to nowadays, lemme show you what I drew yesterday.

MomoCon is this weekend! 8| When did this happen!
My brain can't wrap around the fact that March is more than half over. Seriously. Where did February go? Hell, where did JANUARY GOOO? The last few months have gone by way too fast and I have a feeling the next few are going to be gone insanely soon too. This is the feeling you get when you're being hammered by things nonstop though. Anyway, here is stuff I did super last minute this week:
Big Heads: FMA Edition by =Kiriska on deviantART
Big Heads: DRRR Edition by =Kiriska on deviantART
Big Heads: LoveCom Edition by =Kiriska on deviantART
The above are bookmarks:
New Bookmarks 2010 by =Kiriska on deviantART
And remember![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif)
pokemonathon? Cleaned up and reformatted my compilation of it and now it is shiny and will be for sale!
When I Was Your Age... by =Kiriska on deviantART
How shiny!
Also, almost unrelated, but I did a cool drawing of the first fifth gen Pokemon, Zorua and Zoroark and that'll be a mini-print. :3 The original drawing is also for sale~.
Zorua and Zoroark by =Kiriska on deviantART
And... I think that's all I have as far as MomoCon goes. Looking forward to seeing people there!
FWA is next weekend. x___x I'm not sure if I'll have anything different as far as stock goes. I wanted to do some preorders for badges and ACEOs and stuff, but I don't think it's going to happen just because of how little time I have left. :( Regardless, looking forward to seeing people there too!
I have two more cons in April, Nashi-Con and Kami-Con. Not sure if I'll have anything new for that, but we'll see!

I'm really exhausted from this week. It's been really stressful and annoying and I just don't feel like talking about right now. Other than that I wanted to go to the carnival with Nelson and Heather this weekend, but I have to dog sit. Doesn't matter because I'm getting paid for it! which I am going to need next month. Also I really wish Evelyn would get back to me. I had Sam give her the items I bought from her so that my dad could pick it up to save both me and Sam time and money. I asked her at the start of the week if she was home and she told me she wouldn't be, but someone would. My brother got off work late so they didn't get to go over there. Then last night I asked if she would be home and she told me no. I asked her when she would be home at night so that I could work with her schedule and she never replied to me :/. I feel like I should have just paid for shipping the items. I would have gotten the items faster anyways. It's just her house is close to where my brother's train station is so I thought I could rely on her. I don't want to keep bothering her or tell her to leave the items in her living room and let one of her brother's give it to my dad. I feel like it's bothering, but I want them before they come back home.

Hey guys! Hey!
I did awesome this quarter... All things considered with the hard classes and all. I outdid myself, I think. I learned so many things and overcame tons of trials I never thought I would be able to take on.
So my grades!
- Sequential Arts in Tokyo Seminar: A
- Visual Development for Theme Park Design in Tokyo: A
- Environments Props and Structures: B
- Visual Storytelling: B (shoot, could have been an A by 2 points)
- Speech: C (its not in my major curriculum so WHATEV. Again, almost a B by 3 points....orz)
Spring break has been great and relaxing, I got awesome grades and my GPA is back to an awesome level. Life is good.

This has been awesome~
I've been going to bed around 5 am and waking up at 4pm. Sometimes I would go back to bed for a nap.
Doing nothing but relaxing and enjoying my free time. This weekend I hung out with my friends at a chocolate bar to celebrate Dan's birthday and then walked around the city in search of a bar that wasn't packed by tourists. St Patrick's day is tomorrow, so things will get crazy in Savannah.
Today Kyle's having a stakeout at her place... which I've heard is haunted and makes me uneasy because I'm a chicken like that.
I've accomplished pretty much close to nothing, which is awesome. I think I've forgotten how to hold a pencil.
- finally finished reading 'Sailor Moon' for the first time!!
My thoughts on that: being a sequential artist ruins comics/manga for you. Not only did I see many mistakes in the page layout, toning, the many tangents and terrible camera shots (almost all of them are MCU shots!!!), but also the storytelling.
I wish I could read manga without noticing stuff again. However, it was entertaining to read.
-missamerikka and I just finished watching part of the Spanish series 'Los Hombres de Paco'. All I'll say is that we cried like little girls for Pepa & Silvia (and some others).
Alright~ Maybe I'll get to draw somethingtomorrow the day after tomorrow.

This morning I found out I am failing computer graphics. Meaning.......I HAVE NOTHING BUT 0's!
I have been doing all my assignments since day 1, but we don't print our work or turn it in on flash drive like my old CG teacher made us do. Instead we put our work on a server which she relies EVERYTHING on. Before I wasn't doing it correctly so she held a full class on how to do it correctly. I listened to see where I was fucking up at and I redid everything the way she said. I double checked everything time and time again to make sure there was no problem.
She saw me multiple times before spring break. Once I talked to her about missing a class and the other was random times saying hello in the hallway. NEVER ONCE did she pull me aside and tell me she was having issues getting MY assignments. She made it seem like everyone was having issues so I thought if I correct it, I'd pass. Nope, Today I got a note on my computer saying I have all 0's and that I need to drop the class to save my grade and pass with a W.
Sure I should have asked her if she got my work the second time but seriously if you see a student having a problem shouldn't she like COME TO ME and see what's wrong or go to my computer and check the work. I won't know until someone brings it up. She is so busy dealing with the second year student's and their project since it's a real client assignment that she just doesn't have time for anything else. She told us she was there on Saturday fixing something on one of the projects yet she couldn't go over to my computer and peep through my files to see everything!? or at least tell me what I was doing wrong? I don't know anything unless people tell me. All my other teachers in the department are always willing to let us turn in things late and WORK WITH US to see us be successful :/ it frustrates me that she never even indicated that I was doing something wrong until it was too late.
I told my mom and Elijah about it. I thought my mom would be pissed and tell me to stay in the class. I had to explain to her that it would ruin my GPA and I wouldn't get financial aid if I failed and she understood. Elijah thinks I should go to the deen and tell him about her and show him that I have done all the work and ask if he could help me. The easy way out is just getting out of the class, but that means taking it over again. I will probably just try the deen first :/ I feel like I probably won't catch him though...

I spent all of Saturday playing Dragonica Online with Elijah and his brother. We played a bit this morning, but today I really have to finish my homework ;A; ugh I hate this assignment with a firey passion! The assignment it's self really isn't bad it's just the process and the amount of time we are wasting. We are learning story boarding now, pretty much we had to come up with a character for a 30 minute commerical and do thumbnails of the character delivering a package. The first was to get our 6 frames down. Then he gave us a printout with 12 frames to fill so we did that, then we had to pick 6 frames out of that 12 and scale them up (causing everyone hell for no reason because now we had to throw out things we liked or squeeze them in. NOW hes saying to redraw the same six frames to finalize them. You can see why I hate Illustration. We were suppose to draw them on marker paper but I couldn't find a big pad. I went to two stores and they didn't have them so I returned the small pad I bought. Now hes saying I could have used that pad since we were going to cut them out anyways. UGH I forgot to pick it up again when I went out to Hobby Lobby, but I think I am just going to use Bristol board and colored pencils. I don't have good markers :/, but I have many colored pencils he'll understand.

I probably could have kept up a better journal of France to really remember things as they happened here, but, alas, I didn't. I have, literally, thousands of pictures to remind me of the amazing, so not much harm done there.
I've been back since Tuesday, and I'm already "homesick" for Europe. It was amazing. Beautiful. Most gorgeous place I've ever been. Everything here feels...duller. Less exciting. I don't feel like going out like I usually do -- I don't really feel like buying anything or going anywhere. Lackluster, I suppose. This rainy weather isn't helping either.
All in all, I adore it, and I can't wait to go back and see more of Europe. England and Germany, I'm looking at you.
I'm not going to do some kind of epic wrap up here because, honestly, there'd be far too much for me to cover. I will just say that France is fantastic and I will never be satisfied by an American croissant again (even worse than when I got back from Canada). Also, I enjoyed flying. I'd never been on a plane before. Now I've been on a lot of plane, and I was rather pleased with the experience! Even if my bags were lost for the first few days when I arrived. It wasn't a horrible bother.
I also feel pretty in shape, but I'm sure the large proportions and greasy American food will fix that right up. Pfft. I feel gluttonous on free refills now.
Spring Break has begun, and I have a ton of things I want to try to get done before classes start. I go back down to Savannah in about a week.
( To Do List because I do so LOVE lists. )
I also have a question for you guys.
I have a table reserved at the Otakon Artist Alley. I have yet to pay for it. Table prices are $110. I'd be splitting it with my buddy Noelle. This does not include the price of entrance into the con, hotel fees, or travel costs.
Otakon's new AA rules means very little fan art. This is both good and bad.
PROS:
-It's good because that means ORIGINAL work will get more notice (if anyone actually follows the new rules -- will they?).
-I can use this con to promote the web comic I'm hopefully going to start for senior project.
-It'll keep me working and preparing over the summer.
CONS: (...lol "cons")
-Fan art gives profits, so I'll lose profits on that.
-I don't like doing fan art unless I feel like it, and I haven't been watching or reading any of the new series.
-My style has fallen away from anime, so I'm not really as appealing to the weeaboos of the con scene.
If I DON'T go, I need to find other ways -- cons and online -- to promote myself. Suggestions?
I graduate on May 29th. Hello, start of my entire life. Coming up there kind of fast, aren't you? Here's to the beginning of the rest of my life.

-Fan art gives profits, so I'll lose profits on that.
-I don't like doing fan art unless I feel like it, and I haven't been watching or reading any of the new series.
-My style has fallen away from anime, so I'm not really as appealing to the weeaboos of the con scene.
Poll #1537414 Otakon: Yes or No?
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 2
If I go I'll be trying to do some old school fan art like Reboot, Weiss Kreuz, Gundam Wing, etc. I also want to get a mini-comic together to sell for original story stuff. Also perhaps a sketch book to sell. It'll also be a good way to see some friends I don't often see.Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 2
Should I get a table at the Otakon Artist Alley?

Miles to Go by =Kiriska on deviantART
Final for Comics Painting: 4 page adaptation of a song or poem in mixed media. Did Robert Frost's "Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening" in watercolor, gouache, and paper. A bunch of progress shots and crap were posted to my artblog here.
Shoot the Moon Cover by =Kiriska on deviantART
One of two covers I inked for my Vis II final. Gratuitous werewolf. :3

Inking practice I never posted from Vis II. Terrible pencils by Frank Miller.
The Black Cat Compilation by =Kiriska on deviantART
Main part of final for Vis II, for which I forwent sleep for ~40 hours between Tuesday and Thursday. ~_~ I only needed to ink four pages, but I was working on all of them simultaneously and then it got to the point where I might as well just finish all of them. Whateverrrrr.
But yeah, finals done. Probably going to spend the weekend recuperating/reorganizing before busting my ass hardcore on all the con stuff I've been putting off. :(
PS -- Also posted pictures and stuff from SOI's Humane Society show here.

Other things that are happening as of late:
-My friend Joe paid me for a chibi commission! :D
-I've been making some products for my business and testing out their durability and peeking some people's interest!
-I've been working on my website for my business, this weekend I want to try to do some graphics for it! I was planning to just use Etsy, but with Etsy's fees I feel like I will be losing more money than I am making..
-I bought an Angelic Pretty OP!, but I won't get it until the next time my dad comes down because they left early today :/. It might be next weekend or the weekend after that. Meh.
- I haven't heard shat about my Qcute order. They received my payment but for the past two weeks all I get is "Awaiting Stock Confirmation".
- I finished the line art for my Ciel chibi this morning/afternoon. Next is Grell.
-One of my knee's hurt really bad :/ (no it's not from my epic fall) no matter what it still hurts. I don't recall ever hurting though.

Curled up in bed at home. It feels really nice to be somewhere warm and big and quiet. went to sleep early last night, but woke up a bit early. I guess I'm so used to sleeping short hours that it's hard to sleep for a full stretch. I am so relieved this quarter is over. For many reasons.
I really messed up this quarter. Really bad. I bit off more than I could chew with a lot of things. And lack of motivation had me slacking. I didn't even finish an assignment for one class; the first time that's ever happened since I started at SCAD. I talked with the professor, and I'll probably average out at about a C. I haven't had a grade like that since high school. But that's what I should get, considering how much I slacked.
I didn't produce much good work, and I was probably horrible to deal with during that time. I miss when I used to be enjoyable to be around. I guess I confuse bitchiness and cockiness with confidence. I don't really do well with humility. When I feel good, I don't take into account how other people are feeling.
During this break I'll recharge and also temper my perspective. To quote Merlin, from The Once And Future King, "The best thing to do when you're sad, is to learn. That's the one thing that never fails." I hope I do actually learn, and not dwell, as I tend to, because that helps no one.
So, take this as an apoplogy. I screwed up badly this quarter. I made many mistakes. There is nothing I can do about them now but apologize, stay out of the way, and keep moving.
XOXO
