Right here's a few things:

These coming holidays WILL NOT be actual holidays for me. I'll be studying/painting/practicing piano for two weeks straight (with the exception of the day that I'm spending out next Wednesday before I see Harry Potter later that night, plus any shift I get for work). Because of that, I probably won't be on here as often as I would like to be or usually am. It really freaks me out as to how close the HSC is now. The next few months will be insanely busy and stressful for me.

I've decided to put my HSC works in my storage folder for a while so no one can view them. I've got my reasons. I'd just like to keep them nice and safe.

I may end up taking a break from DA for a while so I can write study notes and all that. Modern History just doesn't teach itself unfortunately. I'm one of those kids who stresses easily about everything so if I haven't got a good lot of notes for all my subjects then you can only guess what I'll be like the night before the HSC starts.
So basically I'm taking some time off to do some much needed study and I'm putting away my HSC works. However, if you're interested, Jay is actually almost finished. I added the blue pastel through his shirt and hair the other day and I'm currently working on his teeth, lips and blending his forehead. One I do that all I need to do is put a bit more fixative over it, do one more layer on the background and then add the final layer of fixative and it'll be done.
In other news, I just got 17/20 for my English assessment! Apparently I do understand the module. There goes my theory of not knowing what the hell I was even doing. Shan't complain anymore because that's an A- and that's a lot better than what I thought I'd get. Hell, I'm thrilled. I've also finished the courses for Ancient History, Modern History and General Maths and all there is left to do now is revise and study and freak out about the HSC for them. And now I'm at home eating cereal for lunch and watching Bon Iver and Damien Rice videos on YouTube and looking into getting my formal dress made (I want it to be a black 1950s cocktail dress with a purple petticoat and a square neckline). Yeah, life is somewhat decent

Oh and getting back to comments/replies/favourites/watches will take a while. I appreciate it though! I really, really do.

EDIT: I woke up this morning and looked at the corner in my room where I've set up all my major works (with the exception of Jay and Darren) and it only just dawned on me that they're all GREEN and BLUE. It was so weird. Here I was getting all worried that Tim and Johnny were too similar with the black and the green and then I suddenly realise that everyone is green (or blue) in some way. I know Rufus is just a little pencil drawing but even he seems to get that greenish tinge when he's with all the other works.
GREEN!
