New month, new journal time.

I've had some good and bad news over the past month. The good news for now at least is that school and exams are over for the summer and I get to be lazy.

The bad news? Some of you who are closest to me, I've told already. It turns out I can't graduate this semester.

I had gone to the head of the department for Biology, as per some kind of new policy, to have them look over my transcript. I'm missing FIVE classes that are needed for my major, and was FOUR credits shy of the damn requirement needed to graduate. So now, instead of attending commencement, I have to take one more semester. I had to keep from breaking down in the man's office, it was like such a slap in the face; all that work, and still there was more to go. At the time I was SO angry, I couldn't believe that my adviser never once sat me down and told me about this.

I mean, god, I know we're college students and we have to do most everything ourselves, but isn't helping us what the advisers are THERE FOR?! It only goes to show that in the long run, you're only looking out for yourself. That you have to keep on your own toes.

It doesn't occur to anyone that you may need help. NOOOO, heaven forbid! Just sign the sheet and let you go. Bah.

Well, at least now I'm over it. Another few months out of my life is really just an eyeblink compared to the tens of years ahead. Instead of graduating in the summer, I graduate in the winter, in December, before Christmas. In a way I think that's more festive. December is a festive month anyway, and there's no reason to not have another thing to celebrate.

I'd like to thank those of my friends out there who gave me their warm sympathies. I really appreciate it, and I'm glad to know how much I'm cared for. ^^

In other news, I hope to get some more drawings done. Maybe finally finish my comic arch, since I know I've been really slacking with it, and I'm sorry to the readers who've been waiting for the end. I don't think I'd ever be cut out for maintaining a real webcomic. ; I just do it for fun. At any rate, there are two pages left to go, and actually, I'm near halfway done designing the next.

Also I hope we get to go swimming this summer. A summer without swimming is just...

...well, it's just not summer. x3

So, here's to a good one. See you guys.
