Extremely hot one day, and then raining the next. At least the rain will drench some of that pollen. Allergies are attacking the masses including me.

Today I worked on a character concept:

About around 3 years ago, I was SO bad at drawing anime. I'm pretty good at drawing from life, but anime takes a different type of style/skill and a lot more imagination. Still not great yet, but hopefully practice makes perfect!

Funny how much a person can unconsciously refine themselves, whether it be a skill or one's character. Time.

Perhaps I will create a new site to regularly update as an incentive to keep working at this humongo project. And then post parts of my story so all these drawings make sense! Although I tried that before and hellaa failed at updating. Hopefully that won't happen.

Third and last semester of the year has started. Oh em gee no summer for me! 8am classes again. Can't wait until August.

I think if I weren't naturally inclined to be a loner, I would not survive being here. Unless I conformed and compromised my feelings.

Break is way too short.

Home felt nice.

Berkeley was pretty awesome because of all the animal catching action with some of my China buds.

San Diego was warm and relaxing. Spent time with some good friends. Ate good food at some local places and took some nice walks. One of the highlights was Seaport Village:

Fun fun. I wonder how it would be if I were a student at UCSD.

Oooo and I went shopping. I like Love Culture.

my style is changing
I want to live in a different country. I think I will.

People who have an ego big enough to think they can play with people's feelings and get away with it are idiots and I have no respect for them.

If only.
