Senior Year + Updates

Hello, all!

Sorry it's been so long - life is starting to get really busy for me, and I'm going to be even less active on dA than I have been (which isn't saying much… I've got nearly 700 notifications piled up because I want to go through and favorite all of them but I'm too lazy… ), and I wanted to apologize in advance for that.

So I'm a senior in high school right now… kinda crazy, yeah? I go to a K-12 school, so this is my thirteenth year at the same school. I've been there longer than more than half the staff. I can still remember being a kindergartener in the classroom just down the hallway from my locker, and now I'm a senior and I have a kindergarten buddy (and she's adorable and tiny and waves to me in the halls she's the cutest/greatest fucking kiddo I swear). It's really kind of strange for me to realize that this is my last year there… I've been at this school for more than half my life, and most of my remembered life. It'll be an emotional year, for sure.

But that's not the only reason why I'm busy! Senior year stuff and college applications (and my Senior project… gah… I'mma get back to y'all on that later) aside, I'm also doing the Fall Festival of Shakespeare again! Basically, my school gets to be one of like 4-6 who are putting on shakespeare plays this fall :3 We're doing As You Like It, and I'm one of two people double-cast as Rosalind - yeah, the leading lady. So I'm going to be pretty busy with that as well - lots of after school time. I'm really excited though!

Then there's the regular volunteering that I need to sort out, and the HS solstice pageant once that gets started (there goes more of my free time, I'm afraid), and all in all I'm just going to be very busy for at least the next four or so months. So I apologize if I really just kind of disappear.

Other than that stuff… I know you guys don't care, but life has been alright. I was in a really tough place last year, emotionally, but things have been getting better. Keeping busy helps, and my friends are good and supportive (especially Saru… haha, fangirl mode activated, whoops), so this year's been better than last so far.
