Overwhelmed with Life

This photo sums up my mood. 

I wish I could say that I have been feeling less overwhelmed lately. Or that I've been putting more effort into my photography. Or that I love my painting class. Alas, I cannot. 

I don't know what it is about the month before Spring that weighs me down. February has always been my least favorite month. Maybe it's because of Valentine's Day and all the fake sugary ideas of romance. Maybe it brings up old memories that wash me out. It's difficult to pin the cause.

It seems as though this crummy mood has bled into March. You know you're having a hard time keeping it together when your professor patiently listens to you explain that you won't have the assignment completed in time and she pats your arm, while saying, "Don't worry about it". Yeah, I must look like a mess.

However, I think that when I do complete my portrait assignment, it is going to be awesome. Hopefully.

But there are good things on the horizon.

The ever lovely Blair has been working on character sketches for our graphic novel Delirium.

Mischievous Doran.  

Which means, that I really need to get that script together. 

Honestly, I think I just need to make a schedule for myself. Right now my work hours are all over the place, so it's difficult to keep on top of things. Things like homework and writing. I haven't even been able to find time to read for pleasure. 

Starting next week I'll be working Saturdays at the shop, so maybe that will help me manage my time better. Not that I have been completely wasting my time. 

I've been doing cool stuff like this...

So maybe I just need to throw myself into these creative projects that surround me and ignore all the other crap that is going on. Creation always brightens me up.
