Hello! This is not part of my usual bi-weekly (although they really haven't been that frequent for the last month I guess) but is more of a personal update.

I've Been on Vacation! For a week... I really needed a break from work and drawing in general so I went to stay for a few days at my friend syncUP, followed by a couple of days at my Dad's, taking the opportunity to escape from his apartment to go see other good friends I have been missing over the summer :) I had lot's of fun, but it was also quite different from my usual rut this summer in which I'm holed up in an apartment working at my laptop 24/7. I've made myself a promise to spend time outside every day now for the rest of the summer, to try to keep this energy level high =]

I'm going back to school! Prior to studying design and working freelance with art and design, I was an engineering student. I discovered that the university I used to attend now have a program that trains design and product development engineers, and I applied. I was accepted three days ago, and have now scheduled a meeting with my study councillor in a month's time from now. Quite possibly I will get to transfer at least 3 semesters worth of passed courses from my previous stay at the University into my new program, in the best case scenario I will be able to study courses from the first three years simultaneously and have a bachelor's degree in technology in 1,5 years. Possibly a masters degree in 3! (if I chose to take it that far). In the worst case scenario, I have to study at reduced speed and fill out the rest with freelance work, so the worst case scenario is far from bad even to begin with =D

The reason why I chose to do this is that in Sweden we have free tuition, I never really realised what an incredible opportunity that is until I went abroad to study. It will also give me a fixated point in my life again, which is nice as well. Studying is incredibly fun, and I'm really looking forward to it.

I have been busy! Sorry for all the lack of updates, both new drawings and journal content. I'm finding it harder and harder to balance out work with planning for the future and studies and personal projects. I' am considering ideas that would allow me to get more time into my personal work, specially my world building projects. More about that in a later journal.

I'm officially on vacation the whole day out (even though I'm home again) and I plan to spend the day doing exactly what I feel like doing! Hopefully I will feel like writing another Bi-Weekly entry later on (or finish one more likely, I have a few rough's since like a month ago) but we'll have to see! Anyway, enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Edit: Another incredible story is I've registered a twitter account, about half a decade behind the wagon but anyway. I haven't really made anything with it, but I plan to. So feel free to subscribe/follow/prenumerate or whatever nice name twitter has on their "Become my Groupie"-button. Thanks =]

Edit 2: And then I realised I actually never linked to my Twitter. #It's ok, I'm on vacation. <-see, already starting to get so pro at this twitter biz

Bye!

glad you had a nice break, was wondering what happened to bi-weekly journals since I like reading them so much.
good look with uni and possibly getting BA so quickly :) i also never really appreciated fact that in Poland (my home country) uni is free until I went to study in UK and found out about costs. other story is that most courses are crap unless you move to really big city (I studies landscape architecture for two years and instead of learning how to design I learnt about planets, seeds and how to plant potatoes). but hey, I graduated few weeks ago while having baby, so I bet you'll be able to do your uni tasks and personal project with ease.
yes for twitter, instant follow :D
