To the anonymous deviant who extended my premium membership, thank you so so much!! >__< <3 I kinda wish I knew who you were so I could thank you personally, but if you want to stay anonymous, just please know I'm grateful and I appreciate it very much!

Hello everyone!! It's been a little while huh? haha I'm finally in the home stretch where it's the last couple weeks of school, and boy has it been a rough couple of weeks haha. We're finally getting around to the last bits of paperwork for Kansai Gaidai study abroad, and all of that paperwork is due in around 3 weeks! >.< It's kind of ridiculous haha! But I'll get it done!

I've been incredibly tired lately due to my having to write a speech in preparation for a speech contest coming up on April 6th, but I finished the first draft, so I'll be working really hard this weekend to make it all perfect! The correction marks were kinda frightening haha...SO many of them, but this is my first time writing anything super long in Japanese about something that requires some higher-level thinking (the topic is on similarities and differences between Korea and Japan with language and culture/how it affects me both ways), so I'm trying to excuse myself because it was really difficult haha. I have a lot of plans for this speech, so I'm hoping to fulfill them! My teacher said the topic was really interesting, so I'm glad haha. There are some struggles going on though, so that's made it a little rough on me, but I'm alright!

I find it really hard to believe that it's really been 3 months since I posted, but I promise I want to give you guys some quality work when I finally can post! >.< I'm SO behind on so many art-related things, it's kinda let down my spirits a little, but I really have no time to worry. xD I'll get on it, I promise!

So yeah, I'll try to get around to comments in the coming weeks, but I really do want to let you know that I always read them and I REALLY appreciate each and every one!! <3 It's amazing that I have so many wonderful people who care about how I'm doing, and even if you don't comment, thank you for reading, if you did. ^^

I'll try to keep in touch with you all more, but it'll be rough until this semester ends! >.< Good luck everyone with whatever you have to do and take care!! <3
