Artist's Comments

I feel so trapped in a box right now! I'm a full-time student (12 credit hours) taking classes Monday-Friday, and then I work on Saturday and Sunday, because my family put pressure on me to get a job too. I never get a day off to myself anymore. I always have to be somewhere each day, ya know? I don't have time to draw or play a video game for an hour without feeling guilty for sacrificing my time for work/homework. My grades have gone down, because I can't focus from how busy I feel. I hate myself sometimes, because I can't get honor roll while being a full time student and having my weekend job. I feel like I'm supposed to be better than that. Though, I try to tell myself, I'm not super girl! I need my weekends to myself to focus on things besides school/work! Isn't Monday-Friday 12 credits hours enough? Why can't my family love me and not call me spoiled or make me feel useless because I don't want to work 7 days a week?

Well, World, no matter the consequences, I apologize for skipping my homework to draw my first real sketch in a whole month last night even though, it might have made me late to class...Oh God, why can't I even give myself therpahy without having to get in trouble?!!!

I Feel so trapped in a box!


By the way, sorry that the anatomy isn't good. I just wanted draw and sketch and get the this off of my chest! (made in Photoshop CS3)

Oh wow thats a lot of school. I would die if i didn't get a day off. I don't even have 5 credit hours. (i think) I really hope your able to work a better schedule next semester. Take fewer classes or maybe go to school part time.
I hope you don't as stressed later down the rode.

I love you, Lizzy! :cries: Your comment means a lot to me. It's nice that someone understands. :happycry: Hopefully my family and I can work out something next semester, so I can have a load I can handle. So, maybe I'll go to school part time and work part time. I can't really quit my job though, because we IS SO POAR! :ohnoes: : No monies. >_<

I know how hard is is to take too many classes. It way to too much at once when you can't even take a brake for even a minute. Ya know. And doing both part time is saying that your working hard on both and at the best of your abilities, so hopefully your can family can understand that. There more to our lives then just school. We're too young to be under this much stress or working til we breakdown.
Try and have some happy holidays too by the way...
I love you girl. ;P

I know! I know...:sniff: That's exactly how I've been feeling. I am too young to waste away for four-five years like this. :ohnoes: I've been talking to my mom, I'm going to drop one of my courses, and next semester I'm going to work part time, and take six credit hours consisting of probably Japanese 102 and English 102. That's going to be so funny! :XD: They're both 102 of two completley different languages with completely different materials. X3 Heehee. :giggle: The course I'm dropping is English. That's the class that got effected so badly by me over working. XP Hopefully, my teacher will understand. :)

Oh, thank you for your sweet comment! I'm doing much better now. I've also set up my next semester so I don't have as many credit hours, can still work, and have a weekend. I've actually been able to draw and play video games again lately. I feel a lot better. :happycry: Please, enjoy your Christmas break and next year too. :hug: :santa:
