End of Spring '10 Semester

Spring '10: Weeks 9 & 10

Hello~~! Mooooore studies (sigh).. I guess I won't be posting for a while until after this semester, because finals are in 4-5 weeks. Spring Show is coming up also, but I have a feeling I won't be submitting anything from this semester and last, which is actually fine with me.. I just can't wait to see friends' work up! :D

This Fall term I'll be having an Illustration class tho (finally!), so hopefully next Spring Show (2011) I'll be uhhm.. ready.. with.. stuff.. lol...

Enjoy!
