A brief, general update
For the next few weeks, or months, my training is going to have to take a back seat to schoolwork. Already, midterms are sneaking up on me like a ninja in the night, trying to catch me asleep in my Bed of Unpreparedness and murder me with a Sword of Harsh Grading after battering me senseless with Nunchuks of Innumerable Assignments. The regular workload of 12-15 class hours and 8-10 hours of homework for each of three studio classes isn’t too bad in and of itself. But in addition, I have to write, draw, and produce a full-length comic book within 8 weeks, and I’m trying to build a portfolio site where I can show my work. The comic book is going to kill me—last semester in my Comics class the pace was 1-2 pages a week, and that was tough enough with only one other class that semester.
So, I’m not going to make it to that half-marathon in April, but I will do my best not to backslide from where I am now. The main thing is to keep my grades up, otherwise I won’t graduate before we do this thing. Thanks for putting up with my bitching, I’m off to study some art history.
