Every time I get burnout at school, I start wanting to do other things desperately. I guess that's to be expected since burnout is generally caused by a feeling of stagnation.

To get.
A pilot's license.
So bad.
Lucky/unlucky for me, there's a LOT of airports near me that offer lessons and the like for single-engine planes, and I have two friends who are pilots. So other than the part where the lessons are REALLY expensive (It costs right around $800-$1000 to get enough classes to get your license) it's quite feasible for me. Plus my friend Chaluma wants to learn too.
My problem? Money and time. Why do I do this to myself when I have two weeks before finals and I should be working extra hard?

Another Update
As per my last update, I've been trying to be more active on here. That said, obviously I haven't done a lot of posting. I have a drawing I'm working on, but I haven't had much creative motivation lately. Same thing goes with my stories, though I'm starting to feel the writing itch building again finally. In exciting news though, I have a new job! While not exactly what I wanted, it's pretty close! I am a Technical Writer at Shimadzu US Manufacturing now. It's about a 5 minute drive from my house, which beats the 45 minute drive to Intel by a looonnnggg shot. The job also involves a lot more sitting and nowhere near as much fast-walking constantly. Also, no bunny suits. I've only been here a little over two weeks, but I really like it. The writing team is very friendly and welcoming, and there is an atmosphere of "no dumb questions, only stupid decisions that could have been avoided by asking questions" that makes being the newcomer a lot less intimidating. While it's not precisely
Life Update
I haven't been terribly active (again) here, though I'm (once again) trying to be more active. The "new" DeviantART still kind of sucks, but it's one of the very few websites that I actually have friends on so I'm loathe to leave it. Plus, I still prefer the layout here over any of the other art sharing websites out there. I also haven't been doing much in the way of drawing. My most recent upload was roughly six months in the making, wherein I would spend maybe five to ten minutes poking at it before putting it down again sometimes for days or even weeks. I have, however, been doing a lot of writing. I am working on a complete overhaul and new draft of Rats and am going into this one with the express purpose of publishing it. We'll see how well that goes, but that's the plan. My ultimate goal now for my life in general is to become a professional writer. Ideally I want to write novels and get them published, and make enough to live on doing that. I don't want to get rich or become
Yes. I still exist
It's been quite a while since I've posted any updates (or art), so I figured it's high time I post SOMETHING. I've been trying to stay active here with varying degrees of success. I'm still working at Intel (essential worker yaaaaaayyyy...) and have been so far staying safe during the pandemic. I must admit some of my interest in dA has waned with the site changes. I'm rolling with them for the most part but a lot of them really are annoying and put a damper on my enjoyment of browsing here. I haven't been doing much in the art or writing department lately. Trying to get back into writing but for the most part what I'm working on probably won't get posted here as I'm hoping to publish it someday. A few months ago I completed the second draft for my big writing project that will be a full-length novel and possibly the first book in a trilogy. My sister is editing it for me and then I'll write what will (hopefully) be the final draft. I haven't got a lot of extra to add here. So many of

I say take your time with some things and put that on the back burner. Though if you want to go get it, go head and do it in the future
