I'm feeling much better now! I've been released from the shackles of the fall semester and now winter break has begun!!! (◕ᗜ◕)
Since it's break, I'm living with Jim for the time being. Long distance sucks, so I'm glad that we can live together like this before I move in. We decorated the apartment for Christmas too! We have a bunch of video game themed ornaments and set up what we call the "Gamer Tree" each year. We still need a treetopper but haven't found one we like yet :( We also use something we've dubbed "the little fella theory of decoration" where we just use a bunch of little festive critters to decorate. You can kinda see some of them in the pic:
A little detail with the tree is that I put Samus and Master Chief together. They feel like they'd be the introverted cousins who find each other at family gatherings and just sit in a corner showing each other memes. Or they're the older cousins who go for a "walk" on Thanksgiving together.
Decorating was done this weekend, but today I've been working on my site more! My collections section actually has some content now (at the very least I've added sections, still gotta take and add photos of stuff though). Now I gotta go fold some laundry (I love helping out my precious yeen with chores <3)

Guess who's sickkkkkkkk (Ｔ▽Ｔ)
It's nothing crazy, just end of semester crud. I'm stupid sniffly and trying to figure out what meds will help (some stuff dries me up way too much and makes me feel worse while other stuff just doesn't do anything). I am doing better I think? Definitely not worse, which is good, but still feeling like garbage （◞‸◟）

This weekend was very eventful (✖﹏✖) I legit exhausted myself on Saturday from all the running around I did with my mom and sister. I got a Peach Riot figure out of it at least (although one was a duplicate, gonna try trading it). I went to an estate sale and unfortunately did not find much, but I got some funky cups and a gift for a friend! Then my sister had her guitar lesson and I wandered the mall nearby a bit. I also contemplated buying a Yule Log from Homegoods but the sculptor in me said "I could make that" so I refrained for now.
Today was a lot less eventful but still busy. I went to this really cool hair salon to get a trim. They had a pay what you want day with proceeds going to a food bank and they raised $550! They were so sweet, and it was so nice going to a hairdresser that knew exactly what I wanted and trusted me on the length!!! My sister got a sick wolf cut-like style (the salon we used to go to basically refused to do more than two layers, but her hair really needed four or five). The stylist complimented my hair and said it was extremely healthy, which like hardcore inflated my ego lol ╰(⸝⸝⸝´꒳`⸝⸝⸝)╯ I just wash it with shampoo and conditioner and let it air dry, but clearly I'm doing something right!!
Then tonight I put up the tree at my parents' house and "helped" my mom wrap gifts.
Anyway that's all for now! Tomorrow I'll be cleaning up what I lovingly refer to as my "art hole" at my parents' place before reading maybe (my mom gave me the first Dungeon Crawler Carl book since both she and my dad have finished it). Gooooooodnight!

And now my classes for the semester are finally done!!!(〜^∇^)〜
All that's left before break is studio and gallery cleanup (which won't be too bad, probably just mostly painting walls and stuff) and a gallery show put on by the graduating seniors. Then I go off to live with Jim over break!!!

Finals season is slowly coming to a close for me this week (ಥ﹏ಥ) I spent all day finishing a quilt and making shortbread. Hopefully my crit tomorrow goes well!
Also, it turns out Hadestown is on tour next year (again) and we're gonna go see it!!! I've seen it before and it's genuinely one of my favorite musicals of all time. I'm really really excited to have the chance to show it to Jim.

It's been a minute lmao, time kinda passes like that huh. Anyway, I had a really nice Thanksgiving. My partner came down for the holiday and we got to spend time together!!! (─‿‿─) ♡
Part of that was going to the ren faire! We actually got engaged there last year and went on our anniversary. Jim had an absolutely sick costume (there's pictures in its blog post!!) and I had a ton of fun just wandering around. I trinket traded and finally saw the joust! There were also a lot of adorable kids who came up to the two of us and stared in awe at Jim, it was so freaking cute.
Also also, yesterday was my birthday! (๑>ᗜºั) Didn't do a massive celebration, but I had my favorite fried fish tacos and cake, so that was a win. Overall, break was really fun, but now it's back to the finals grind (ಥ﹏ಥ)

My exams weren't bad ᕕ (ᐛ) ᕗ !!!!!
I also finally got around to altering a lace skirt thing for my ren faire fit (with help from my mom)! Jim and I are going this weekend and I'm really hype. I have three missions: a Spice Boys poster, a ring that matches/is similar to Jim's, and candles. Any also any Greek myth stuff. And shinies. And anything else I find (─‿‿─)
But yeah! That's today's update. I'm gonna work on my business card and hang out in a voice call with my friends

As of yesterday, I've had to start a new sketchbook! I've had the other one since January of last year. Even though I'm in the college of art, I haven't had much time to make art and draw for myself :(.
This week is Thanksgiving break though!! I have two of my finals tomorrow .°(ಗдಗ。)°. but they're both open note so hopefully it'll be easy peasy! And I get to see my hubband soon!!!! (⚈∇⚈ )
But yeah!! That's today (so far at least). I decided to do the fun thing of updating my site before the boring thing of making an exam review. I'm so excited to get the rest of this even more up and running!
