cartoon craziness challenge, life through the lens, motivation, school, stress, the world is full of fucking idiots, work
What a day. I honestly wasn’t sure I’d ever make it out of there alive. And I didn’t even totally finish everything. But I got to a point where I was so extra crispy that my boss told me to get the hell out before the phone rang again. I’ve got no idea at this point how many voice mail messages I’ll be walking in to on Monday morning or how many emails. I could get the email from home, but I’m too scared.
At any rate, it’s over. The week is done, the semester will start on Monday, and my calendar is decidedly less fuck-ish. And I get to see T-Bone Monday afternoon. So yay.
Moving on, here are a few slightly more interesting things to share…
This is my mythical creature entry for this week’s Cartoon Craziness Challenge.
Don’t ask what the fuck it is, I’ve got no clue. It was fun to draw and it’s got wings, that’s all that matters. Oh, and I might see if I have time to do another since Juls and I decided to give ourselves 2 weeks this time instead of just one.
This week’s Life Through the Lens challenge is “miraculous.” I really had to think about this one for awhile. I finally decided on this picture….
This is from when I graduated with my first Master’s degree. I started it just to see if I could do it. I had my mental health Dxs by that point and felt like I needed to prove to myself that I hadn’t lost my edge. While I was in school I ended up being hospitalized for a suicide attempt. In spite of missing an entire week’s worth of time (classes were only 6 weeks long), I earned a B in the class and went on to graduate with a 3.8 GPA. I’m quite proud of myself for that.
Mental in the Midwest 
Great pics I like the mythical creature to, and congratulations on graduating i didnt even finish high school.

Thanks! I have an insatiable thirst for knowledge, always have. I’m considering going on for a Doctorate, but I’m not sure yet what I’d want to get it in. For now I’m working on a second Master’s since the university pays for it and they’ve got a program of study that makes sense given what I currently do.

Well done on the degree-what an achievement! You have every right to be proud of yourself xx

Thanks! I really wasn’t sure I’d pull that one off. I had started it on a whim and then just ran with it. Unfortunately most of what I learned was how NOT to deliver online classes. The professors were not particularly good and the content was not put together well. That degree was done at a different university than the one I work at, which is also where I’m working on my current master’s. This semester I’ll be doing my first online class there and it’s also the professor’s first time teaching an online class. Fortunately K spent the better part of the summer working with her to get things ready, so I’m hopeful it will be good.

Look at you all gorgeous in your Cap and gown, that’s a great pic!
Loving the mythical cat too, I just said to Dean I am a fan of wings, so no doubt my drawing will have some too. I think the cat is very regal, perhaps Captain Cosmos Cat lol

I’ve done two other drawings since then that I’d like to post, just not sure when. I also did some other crafty stuff over the weekend that I think turned out really nice that I’d like to show off.
