I always intend to keep up on here. I suck. I let my anxieties win and get carried away in daily life and then bam, weeks or months have gone by. I also feel a little invisible on here.
But đź‘‹ hi. Im still alive.
I finished up my Bachelors the end of April. So I'm officially graduated. My conferral was confirmed as of June 1st, I'm just waiting for my diploma and transcript in the mail. My bachelors was in photography. This made 3 degrees for me. I graduated with my associates in visual arts in May of 2016, and my associates in general studies in 2017. I'm looking at schools to pursue my masters in fine arts with a focus in photography now. It's kind of sureal for me to think of how "accomplished" i am. I feel weird to talk about it too. I started college originally thinking i was going to be a highschool music teacher, and found at the end of my first semester that i just wasn't cut out for that kind of pressure. I switched to general studies for a term, and rekindled my love for art so i switched majors again. Down the line i learned i could dual major, so i threw the genral studies back on there and took extra courses to broaden my education. I thought i was done for a little over a year until i was visiting my old campus and just felt the desire to go back suddenly. I applied for my BA a couple days later and started completely online. It was challenging for me for many reasons. But im so happy i did it.
Around the fall last year, it was mentioned to me by the school about going for my masters, and ever since, i cant stop thinking about it. So i think im going to go for it. I have schools to research and their programs. I dont know yet if that kind of program can be online yet, as the fulltime rv life means i dont typically stay in one place that long. So we'll see where i end up. Im taking a break, and building my professional portfolio more before I do apply. But i am really thinking of just diving in in the fall and get it done. It'll be about a 2yr degree.
This pandemic has been hard and crazy. Mentally and physically. Im thankful life is starting to open back up and I can get out of the house more again and do normal things.
Ive been doing alot more art, mostly painting, to fill in financially and its been so nice to tap into that outlet again.
I started repainting my house too. I hope to finish it around everything else through the summer.
Once my school documents come in, I can get a job teaching from home. Im really nervous and anxious about it.

Im really hoping to keep up with selling my art and photography. I feel the happiest. The most accomplished. Like i actually do something significant and worthwhile.
