So I went m.i.a again, but that's not new.
Let's see... The past year has in fucking insane, a lot of stress, trying to stabilize my living situation, trying to concentrate on school, trying not to go insane and kill myself (I wouldn't, don't get all sentimental), taking care of my cat(s), I got a kitten, she's insane, but awesome.
Anyways, my brother's wife was diagnosed with breast cancer, so that kind of took it's toll on all of us, it's been really stressful. I've been terribly depressed. On the bright side though, her surgery was in August, it went extremely well, she decided to have both breasts removed and had reconstructive surgery done in the same procedure. She pulled through and the first thing she said was "can you fix my wig please". She has one last round of chemo, then recovery and she's done. This woman is such a trooper, she's strong, kind, understanding, she's never cast judgement on me, and has always been there for me no matter what. Seeing her get better has brought the joy of life back into me, it's been a tough year.
I've also gotten a lot more good news, this having to do with school, I've been attending santa monica community college for the past 3 yrs trying to figure out what it is I want to do. I decided I wanted to got Otis College of Art and Design, to get a Bachelors in Digital Media which encompasses video game design, animation, special effects, character design, storyboarding, etc. It's been quite stressful as well because I changed my major to art therapy but then realized I'd rather go for my original plan. Well, all my hard work has definitely paid off because I now have 2 classes left and I can transfer into Otis next Fall 2014. Which is awesome, because I thought I was going to be stuck at smc for another 2 years, also! I don't have to take ANY math! Which makes me sooo fucking happy, because I SUCK at math.
Any who, that's basically all I have to say.
