Hey Guys! Bet you thought you'd never see me again. And I am sorry, I did not come bearing gifts. I am going to make this short by letting you guys know what I've been doing and where I am at with requests. Well, right now I have a sketched Malta OC sitting in one of my sketchbooks. Not inked, not colored. I also know I need to do a couple of Africa OCs that I need to check on. I am sorry, but maybe if I tell you where and what I've been doing, peeps won't be so upset...

Well, the month started off with a struggle to get my Financial Aid for school taken care of and that took a few weeks. Now I am in classes and honestly, not being great at Geology or Biology, that is very time consuming. I am actually taking a study break and have about 50 more pages to take notes on and read for Biology, and have about 50 for Geology and probably 100 for Poly Sci (which I love, so that should be easier.) I just have to get As, for scholarship reasons, so it takes a lot of effort to pretend drawing hetalia ocs is more important. I am sorry, I am doing them. I will also still take free requests, but the whole situation is somewhat overwhelming so I will turn them out at a much slower rate. Please remind me if you have a request I agreed to that I am missing. I still want to do them.

I also volunteer for a couple of political organizations (what? a hetalia fan is into politics?) and that also takes time.

Another important factor in why I have been gone so long, and I feel like an ass exploiting this but it is very true, is that a family friend died recently. She was struggling with cancer and she isn't struggling any more. But I have spent time at a funeral and waiting by the phone for updates the past (passed? never sure) few weeks. It was just more important. So please forgive me, but I can't really say I'm sorry.

Once again, please remind me if I have to do art for ya that I agreed to and still please make requests, but with the knowledge that I am very busy with school right now. My first priority is getting the Malta OC done as quickly as possible. I am also running out of flesh tones in my markers so I am waiting to get my financial aid return to buy a few more colors. Thanks again, and that is all.
