resolutions and reflections

resolutions	reflections
this was my first few months! so no 2022 resolutions	2022 was kind of a weird and bad year! I spent most of the first half of 2022 dealing with the fallout of Dead Parent Zone, got a bad enough grade in a class that for the first time ever I had to retake it, and grappling with being so far from home for school while also dealing with all that shit. then I took on way too many obligations for the fall semester and shot my mental health in the foot a bit as a result. there were some good things too, though - I was nervous about how a long-distance relationship would go but it’s honestly going so, so well and he’s been a real source of joy for me this past year. I did pass my classes even though it was a struggle so I don’t have to retake anything again, and I already planned to do less next semester. despite it all I did finish a little art, and I got back into life drawing, and had a lot of good moments with friends. in general I think graduate school has been a good choice for me so far, and as much as I bitch and moan about indiana it’s like, Fine, but actually the people are really good, I have a great support network, and ultimately I think it’ll continue to be good. it’s really made me appreciate the east coast LOL
