Journal update, because it needs one.

Sooo it's been about a year and a half since I updated this thing at all. Does anyone even look at this thing anymore?

Anyway, just some little tidbits on what's been going on. I went to Australia for a year as part of my college major (Marine Biology), and now I'm finally in the process of graduating. My school hasn't really been keeping me in the loop on what's going on, though, so I guess I'll figure out I've graduated if a diploma happens to show up in the mail one day XD. Now I'm trying to apply for jobs and internships at various aquariums around the U.S., and currently have my eye set on some internships available at the Shedd in Chicago. Hopefully it all goes well, otherwise I'll be stuck at a front desk job forever :,D

In regards to anime related stuff, I attended Anime Iowa the weekend before last, which was exciting because 1. it's my first U.S. convention in over a year, and 2. I actually submitted some of my stuff into competitions. Two AMV's, my Sesshoumaru cosplay in the Masquerade, and my Irisviel von Einzbern cosplay for the Hall cosplay contest. In the end, I won Best in Comedy for a parody Higurashi AMV, and Best in Workmanship for the Intermediate class at the Masquerade. Yay! Unfortunately, my Sesshoumaru costume kinda fell apart in places (thankfully it stayed together while I was on stage!), so I'll have to fix a few things up before my next convention. Right now I'm eying Daishocon in Wisconsin, which takes place the weekend before my birthday and is at the Kalahari in the Wisconsin Dells. Even if it is a small con, it should make for a lovely birthday present

Now for the DA side of things. I've still been drawing, but it's been limited to various sketches of OC's, and I haven't felt like coloring anything in a while. So unless inspiration suddenly hits me, I'll probably stick with uploading various cosplay photos for the time being.

I think I'll stop myself now. This has been going on for too long already
