In Which I don't want to say All Is Lost. It is not.

Good morning, my friend, dear reader of this post! How are you? How have you been? I do pray and hope you have been okay. As for me, it has been one journey with turbulence. I have some good moments, which is edifying, and plenty of bad ones. I am tired of the bad moments. The bad moments, the bad news. The trend downwards they incentivize one looking. I have always detested the thought of "it is all lost". Not really useful. If I am still alive, why does it matter? Too much noise. I was always turned away by noise. My brother bothers me with the noise he does, I think he is inconsiderate. So it goes, noise is really a pain. Not sure what would bring someone towards that, not the direction I go towards. Eepy cats are cute and sweet. As such, because I have been so tired, more tired than I ever been in a while, I will mention some issues but I hope I can avoid the worst of it. It is just the job situation, mom is inconsistent, but is pressing for me to get work. While it is va...

In which the author IS OFFICIALLY ON VACATION and out of ideas for today

Hello everyone! Today is a beautiful day, and why is that, since it also happens to be a Monday*? Well... TODAY IS MY FIRST DAY ON VACATION!!! YESSS!!! FINALLY!!!! I know, I was techinically on vacation since last Friday, as I told you, BUT I still had a class today, and I went to take the last test of the semester.
I would be oficially totally relaxed and enjoying the rainy days of June (not so rainy so far for some reason, but I'm hopeful!) since last week, but unfortunately I couldn't get the necessary pontuation for me to pass in Technical Drawing III, one of the subjects of my course, so I had to take another test, so I could replace my worst grade and get the necessary pontuation to be approved in the discipline, the alternative would be me flunking in the discipline. If that happened, I'd have to do the whole thing again at my earliest opportunity, aka not a happy ending. But here's to the happy ending: I GOT 8 OUT OF 10 IN THIS TEST, SO I'M APPROVED! I MANAGED TO SURVIVE TECHNICAL DRAWING AFTER ALL! This is something that made me really relieved and happy!
And here we are, the dreamy days of vacation are here, to stay until next month! I'll do my best to keep my schedule that I mentioned earlier: a post on monday, wednesday, and Saturday! I'm thinking about making Friday the "song of the week" day, though... Anyway, the bad news is I'm totally out of ideas on what to post today, so here we have me just having a monologue on my small success. To be fair, I'd have done something else, but the idea I had in mind was a post on my issues with writing, not the best way to start a vacation, so let's have this one postponed, shall we? BUT, since we're here, let me show something to you guys, to say this post went to somewhere!
This is a small sketch I made a month ago, but only managed to finish it yesterday! Sometimes it can be a really slow process to draw something. And I decided to do something risky, which is use color pencils for the sky, instead of the pastels I've been using since I learned how to use them on April. I thought it would be a disaster but I think in the end things went A-okay! And that's it for today! I'll do more posts on drawing and on drawing materials soon if I can, though I'm not a professional, anyway I'm really glad to have you here! See you soon!

*Important to say, don't have Monday as your enemy! Start the week with the best mindset you can, something I try to do. Sometimes I succeed, sometimes I don't, but things are fine! Also, usually for me Tuesdays are worse than Mondays, but anyway, life is beautiful!
