I remember once thinking that all of the college students on deviantart were silly for complaining about never having time to do art because school was robbing them of their time, money, and souls.  Surely they could find the time to upload a sketch or two.

....

But now that I'm in college, I understand completely.  Pretty much every second of my time is occupied by school, work, or sleep.  I go to school in the morning, go to work in the afternoon, and do homework in the evening five days a week.  On weekends, I study and catch up on the sleep lost during the week.  It's funny how time flies by.  

Anyhoo, it's been so long since I've posted a journal that I thought this would be a good time to do it!  I'm honestly not sure when I'll get time to do art, but I will post a sketchdump or something like that soon.

Updates on the Life of Kristy:

- I got a job at the beginning of the summer which is awesome.  It's on campus, pays well, and has super flexible hours.

- I'm doing well in school.  I'm even getting A's in my science course (howy cwap).

- Japanese class sucks because it lacks structure and a good teacher, but it also rocks because I have great friends in that class!

- I'm quickly learning just how out-of-place I am in my school.  Everyone gets drunk and/or high for shits and giggles.  What happened to having REAL fun?

- Boyfriend is the only reason I am sane.

- I'm a gamer now I guess.  TEAM FORTRESS TWOOOOOOOO!!!!

- I'm surprised by how few bullet points I could come up with.  I guess that there hasn't been much happening in my life after all :I

I'll post a comic about my new college life or something in the near-ish future.  I better get back to my lame essay now >.>

Since your 1st boyfriend-meme, I've probably been your biggest fan.. >< LOL. All the comics of your boyfriend are HILARIOUS and cuute, but also gets me excited to finding a great beau like yours. ♥ I hope that we can be friends!! (I'm also studying Japanese, and we're probably about the same age; &in college now..? 18.) College is retarded.., but I hope that we can both find the time to do art!!

はじめまして! あたしの名前はクリステイーです。 絢さんのブログをを読みました。 すごい! 絢さんは最近日本へ行けるそうね。 羨ましいよ! 絢さんは日本語の何年生ですか。 今、大学へ入学しますか。 大学生だったら、専門は何ですか。 日本語が話せる友達を会えてよかったです:)

わあー I'm so flattered!! I didn't even know that anyone read my comics anymore! Especially now that they're all about my boyfriend ahaha I'm so happy knowing that I have a fan c: Heh, if you have as much luck as I did, you'll find a great guy who shares your love for the Japanese language and culture! He's out there, I promise!

It sounds like we have a lot in common! I study Japanese in college and am the same age as you are. Japanese has been my hobby ever since middle school, so I'm very glad to have met someone who shares the same passion!

I'm really impressed by your gallery O: I love how you draw eyes and hair. Man I wish I could draw eyelashes like you can! Like you said, hopefully we'll both find the time in the midst of all of this college craziness to draw :)

よろしくお願いします~

ワぁ!このコメントーww吃驚した!!なんかぁ、クリステイーさんはあたしのアイドルだから・・・ww大笑
(ぇぇ~あたしのブログ・・・見た?!o____o wwどうーぅ?どうだった??)
(笑) 今、日本語クラスで、先生は『advanced class, level 4』って言ったですけどっ・・・wwちょっと信じなかった…。(あぁっ、あたしは一年生です~ぅ。><) クリステイーさんの日本語は上手と思います!!^^本当に本当に~♥ クリステイーさんは一年生でしょうか?

LOL. omg, I feel like my favorite celebrity just replied to me... I seriously didn't expect this! ><; Lol, anyways, your Japanese is really good!! Do you practice talking with your boyfriend? (Haha, I know that someday I'll find my perfect Japanese man... hopefully.)
Yeah, it's really nice to have someone on here who also speaks Japanese! ><; When I first saw your art, I was too nervous to comment anything... ><; But it was nice to know there was someone similar out there~~♥ (I started learning Japanese at Japanese(/middle) school in Hawai'i, but I dropped it after I got bullied hardcore by my Japanese classmates...lol, sad, but true. U____U)

Your art is AMAZING. Q_______Q I LOVE the way you do your hair, faces, poses, and all the beautiful coloring...♥ It's so unique, and gorgeous!! ><;; うらやましい~ぃ!
I really hope that we can become friends! I know I said this twice... lol. But; my college Japanese class is PACKED with anime weeaboos and otaku overloads. ><;; I have NO one to talk to about my love of Japanese culture without somehow ending up talking about an anime I NEVER HEARD OF IN MY LIEF. (/.___.)/

Sorry it took so long for me to reply! This college thing sure keeps me busy 8D;;

絢さんの日本語も上手だと思います! 私は日本語の三年生ですけど、毎日アルバイトで働きますから、あまり練習できません。 私は忙しくなくても、いつも時間もないよ(笑)。 それでも、時間がある時、彼氏と日本語で話せて、少しずっつ上手になります。 Having a boyfriend who can speak Japanese is the best : ) It's great encouragement and a great resource! You'll find your japanese-speaking knight-in-shining-armor lurking about one day : )

絢さんのブロッグを読んで喜びましたよ! 絢さんは面白い物語がたくさんありますね。 できれば、よく読むつもりです。 

It's nice to know some one who takes learning Japanese so seriously C: Often I feel as if I'm surrounded by weaboos and wapanese, you know, the ones who think they can pick up Japanese after watching tons of anime. I don't mind that they love anime of course, but I don't fit in with people who don't try hard to learn the language! I read a fair share of manga, but that's mainly because I love reading manga in Japanese! It's been a great, relaxing way for me to pick up vocabulary and practice my reading comprehension! 絢さんの情熱がはっきりと見られます : )

I can relate to your story about picking up Japanese in middle school! Like you, I fell in love with Japanese language and culture in middle school, but was discouraged from studying it again until high school because I was teased mercilessly by people who called me a "wannabe asian". I'm happy to hear that you moved past the bullying and chose to continue your studies : )

Keep up the good work with your art and your Japanese :3 It's really fun speaking in Japanese with someone so similar! Feel free to message me whenever you'd like. I may not reply right away (I'm pretty forgetful about these things O^O) but it sure does make me happy to see notes in Japanese : D
