Holy sh*t. I'm at uni. Classes finally started YESTERDAY. I've met so many awesome people. And now I'm waiting for the lecture to start. I'm sitting in a hall the size of half my graduating class, and it's all so bizarre.
moved to Tumblr
I've largely stopped using dA at this point, and while I haven't found a good substitute for posting my writing (not interested in using wattpad), I do post all of my art on tumblr now. My url there is inkwingart.

...whether you're having fun or not, it seems. It's as if I blinked and a year passed. So, what does that mean? In less than three weeks, the semester is ending, and I'm so excited to have the summer to myself. No crazy English professor, no idiot classmates, no waking up at 6:00 AM.
I'll be posting A LOT more artwork soon, especially digital. I was very happy to wake up to so many messages in my inbox. I haven't had that many messages since my Katniss pic, so it felt nice to have that kind of "flash flood" response. Thank you all for your support.
