So, I know, I disappeared off the face of the earth for quite a while there...a few months, I think? But fear not, I'm back!

Anyway, just thought I'd give anyone out there who cares a bit of an update on the recent happenings and such. It's been a rather hectic time, and not without a degree of personal difficulties and situations that have made for a very hard few months.

I regret to say the situation in regards to my course at university, which I know I mentioned briefly in my last journal, has deteriorated somewhat. Suffice to say I'm a poor uni student who wants to paint "stuff what looks like stuff", along with a small band of fellow revolutionaries, and it hasn't been well received. It has actually seemed to aggravate the already bitter relationships between two already warring departments. Uni politics...blah.

However, I am continuing with a "Picture of Dorian Gray" style project I set myself for this semester. Despite the overwhelmingly negative reaction of those assessing me, it's far too late to change, and the project is helping me overcome some anxiety and other mental health issues that have arisen of late. It's also become a matter of principle. Hopefully I can have these professionally photographed by the photo tech, as they are oil paintings, and put them up in the near foreseeable future. And as for next year, well, I'm surveying my options as to courses and career pathways.

But as this academic year draws to a close, you can expect to see a bit more of me. I have several projects in development, and am excited for the summer break so I can get to work on them. And also so I can have a break and slow down for a bit.

So, that's the latest from me. Catch ya next time, with hopefully a more positive scrap of news.
