I took a drawing class last semester, and about a month in I realized that I really didn't like art as much as I thought. At least, I don't like art in a classroom setting. I'm glad that I discovered this, as I had been considering art as part of career at one point (I've considered so many things). I actually abandoned my final portfolio for the art class by never returning to pick it up, but I'm not really sad to part with the drawings (except for my perspective drawing...I was proud of that one). Anyways, I may have a few scraps from the class that I can upload later.

I also took a creative writing class last semester, and it was definitely an interesting experience. The Editor inside of me came alive (because I had to write critiques for everything that the other students submitted) and I think I can better spot errors in my own writing now. I have a story and poem from that class, I suppose I will submit those as well. I was going to say that I "hope" to get back to writing, but forget that: I WILL get back to writing. Tonight or tomorrow I will begin laying out a new story.

Aside from my classes (I also took Pre-calculus and Psychology), I have been doing a lot of self-study in Japanese. And I mean a lot. I have the summer off from classes, so I spend the vast majority of my day grinding through Kanji (Heisig method). Unfortunately, saying that I am learning Japanese brands me as a weaboo, but I really love this language and studying it is surprisingly fun. So fun that I don't think I ever want to stop learning languages (French is next!).

Well, that pretty much sums up what's happened for me these last few months. I've eliminated a few career ideas and come up with a whole new batch of potentials, but I'm in no rush to decide. Life is too short to be focused on the destination, just have to sit back and enjoy the trip - and make sure you end up where you want to be!
