It's been a hot minute, hasn't it? :V Two years have passed, and you'd think it almost impossible to summarise the vast amount of things that have definitely happened in my life since then, but it uh, really isn't, for better or worse. I graduated my study January 2021, decent grade, huge fucking relief. Unfortunately, this cost me a severe academic burnout, which i've been suffering from to this day. Unemployed for 16 months, mental health is still fucking shot and i'm almost physically recoiling at the thought of studying anything. Doing my best to stay positive but not gonna lie, it's kinda hard some days. Hasn't been all bad though; the keen of memory may remember that i flipped the furry switch sometime last year. More specifically, March 2021 was the month where i finally got myself a fursona, after years of distant flirting with the concept and thinking i'd never get one, but now prominently featured in my avatar. Honestly, it's been good for me. It's not about being a furry

SO, it seems that bitching about Eclipse is all the rage now, so i'm gonna add my two cents to the fire. First of all, i think it has both good and bad, and my opinion may be coloured by me being slow to adjust to drastic changes, so make of that what you will. I've already bitched about this to several of my friends, might as well bitch about it to a few more people. :V The thing here is that i'm approaching the end of my multimedia designer study, and am interning as a front-end developer at a better company that i could ever have fucking dreamed of, so i'm gonna try being mildly objective about this from a web dev standpoint, and naturally also spew my extremely subjective dumb monkey opinions out as well. SO, LET US GO: The design looks modern, for sure, and i believe that was among the goals to achieve. If not, what the fuck? But "modern" is an appearance style, not an indicator of whether or not a site actually works. To my great relief, Eclipse does work, BUT! It has flaws.

!!! Yes i'm still alive, just had another rough-ass semester. No panic attacks though, so that's a nice thing. :V I've thankfully managed to talk to people at campus and secured myself a less stressful final semester, where i am to find an internship. Normally, it'd be 37 hour days for 10 weeks, but due to my circumstances, i've gotten a deal that says 25 hour days for 15 weeks instead, which is much more manageable. That besides, not much new under the sun. Still have IBS, still have anxiety albeit getting better with it, but at least i'm not depressed, so that's something?? I also feel like i've made good art progress during this year, ev
