WOW, I really haven't updated my journal in two years. Heh, well art speaks better than words, I guess, right? I just finished my first year of college, which turned out to be a sometimes traumatic, other times enjoyable, and all around life-changing event. It made me write a lot of poetry, as you can see if you check out my latest 7 deviations (and those are only the tip of the iceberg). The only trouble with going to Calvin College is, I can't access my profile on their network- it's really bizarre, because I CAN access other people's and look through the galleries. So, forgive my inactivity especially during the school year (I'm going back on September 5th).

I'm hoping to get back into drawing this year, and maybe experiment a bit with watercolor or gouache on top of it... need to buy some paper from blick's. I feel as though I've let my artistic side (with the exception of my poetry) fall into decay during the past school year, since I was just working my butt off so much to do well in classes. I've taken tons of pictures though, especially this summer when I went on a wilderness trip to New Mexico- I'll undoubtedly be putting some of those up in the coming weeks.

Sorry I haven't been around for y'all! I hope you guys are doing awesome!
