Well... been forever since I've updated, but I'm sure you're all used to that by now... >_>

Got some pictures of the mural I did in my dorm to put up and a few doodles... nothing major.

Life is... interesting... Just got an apartment, I have an internship for this summer, and I'm starting to make plans for the wedding... all of which I still need to talk to my baby with, but there's progress there nonetheless. Things are going well for the most part... moving forward... and aside from some debt, everything's on the upside for once. At least my debt isn't nearly as bad as it was before! Anyways, be expecting new things up within the next couple days.

Well, I think I should start off with the good, happy part of this journal. I'm engaged. My baby proposed to me on black Friday. And as for at least one question that will be asked... the wedding isn't anytime soon. We're waiting until we're done with school. We just wanted things to be official. Here's a picture of the ring I took from my phone. Eventually I'll get a better one...

Clicky

So yay happy excitedness for that. But otherwise... I feel like I'm drowning. Everything is piling onto me so fast that I'm being suffocated and pushed under so that my entire body is below the murky water and I can no longer see the sun shining brightly overhead. I am failing two out of my five classes this semester, and simply because I don't have the time. The classes for my major take up every single little moment of my "free" time, that I don't have a chance to get anything else done. Add to this the fact that I am currently about $7,500 in debt from credit cards with no money in the bank to pay the now-overdue balances with. And that's not even counting the student loans I now have from school. And oh yeah... if I fail these two classes... I very well could lose the scholarship that is the only reason I am able to attend school.

I'm drowning, and all I seem to want to do is curl up in a ball and take a deep breath of water instead of swim. I'm depressed and honestly the only thing that makes me happy in my life right now is my fiancé... and he's a seven hour's drive from me. All I want to do is be with him. I wish that we made enough money that I didn't need to continue going to school, because then I could be there with him, living with him and seeing him every day. That would be happiness.

I saw this on ~aria-cerena's journal... which I got to because I saw this gorgeous piece of artwork by ~kheleksul, who is actually on my devwatch list... XD

So yeah... all that explanation to say... I knicked this idea from
