School Today!

I know it's late, but it's a long time tradition for me to have insomnia before the first day of school. My first class is at 2 anyway, so it's not so bad. I ok only have 2 classes on campus, and the other 3 are online courses.
My remaining classes include:
Environmental Science
Intro to Philosophy
Intro to Advertising
Web Design I
& Writing for Digital Media

Assuming I don't fail anything, this should be my last semester! I'm a little nervous for what's in store for me afterwards  but that's why I have to work hard. Like, really work hard. In all aspects of my life. Cept the social aspect, that wasn't in mind. It'd be nice if I did, though. Anyway!
I don't have much else to say, or at least anything that's interesting. Not that my class schedule is interesting, but it gave me a set thing to talk about.
Hmm. I really want a Nintendo 3DS to play the Pokémon series. The new Sun & Moon comes out later this year and I am excited. If I get it tho, I really need to hold off on the nice things after that since I recently got nice stuff already... but honestly I'd be set for a long time! My next luxuries would be a car and an upgraded pc set-up. Those will be awhile!
I think I've decided to do my best to start a career in San Antonio first, gather the moolah while living in parents' home, and take whatever steps necessary to find my dream company to work for. Which, really, is any company in the gaming industry.

... and practice art in the meantime so I can be a comic book artist for Marvel (Star Wars) in the remaining decade(s?) of my life. Face it, it's gonna take half a lifetime for me to get that good anyway.
Now that I think about it, I'm quite racist when it comes to fantasy worlds. I always pick human or most human looking characters in MMOs and have little experience drawing mythical races. I'd love to do concept art too, maybe. I think I can get good enough for Jagex if not comic books.

There's A Lot Happening

So this year has definitely been a whirlwind of change for me. From teaching to being with the love of my life, it's been quite the roller coaster. A lot is happening this next year and it's crazy to think how much I actually have to get done before next summer.
I'm teaching freshman and sophomores this year because my scores were apparently really good with my last bunch. And although I had planned to teach ESL my scores made me a bit more necessary with the incoming underclass man. I've heard they are little squirrels but we shall see if I can't take them yet.

I'm getting married. Oh yeah, it's happening guys. In four months we'll be legally married and in nine I'll be in Dallas for the full blown ceremony (actually small but you get it). Between now and then I have to find a job, find a house, plan a wedding, plan a honeymoon, buy furniture, find a new job, and plan weekend trips to Dallas to get everything sorted. Good grief it's a whole bunch especially when I have to keep teaching. I'm confident it'll get done well and smoothly though so I'm not too too worried.

I really can't wait for this next year. Everything is happening so soon, I feel like it'll get here before I know it. I'm blessed, truly. And I can't imagine going through life with anyone who knows me better or has been there and loves me more than him. God definitely has a funny way of making things work, but He knows and knew exactly what I needed and how I needed to get here. ❤️
