2015 in Review
Holy crap, has it been a year since I posted a journal! I'm alive, I promise! As you can see, I no longer have the pretty journal skins that come with subscriptions (RIP icon lists). I've mostly been focused on writing this year, but I did manage to post 7 pictures to add to my 2015 in Review. I'll do what I can this year, because... well... tradition! Year nine of doing this, here we go! I tag anyone else who wants to do this! :)

By this point in the year, I hadn't drawn for a while. I was SO pleased to see that not only had I actually gotten better, but I was able to actually draw a consistent

I've done this for seven years and it would be a shame to break the tradition, yeah? So, even though I did less art this year than in years past... here's 2014 in review, for year eight! :D
Most Proud of:
My reduction block print from the art class I took last January! It was such a fun class and this was an awesome project! I'm still proud of how it turned out, because I worked so hard to get this right! :)
My Best:
If I could make this one again, I would fix up how the sky and the roof seem to mesh together. I would also change the direction of the points, but seriously, I'm so happy with how this turned out! Especially the fount

Some positive updates! :)
Wow, has it really been since August that I posted my last journal? Jeez...
Well, a LOT has happened in that time and I was getting tired of seeing the really depressing journal on my page, so here's a more optimistic one.
I was just offered a full-time position! It's nothing huge, or artsy, but it's a job and that is ABSOLUTELY something I need right now! Merry Christmas to me! :D You guys have no idea how hard I have been working to get this job and I am so relieved and just plain old happy. It seems like a good place with good people and there will also be time after work for me to continue working on

Wah, I'm sorry you're going through this dilemma. I'm really not sure what to tell you. The practical part of me would say to go where the money is. Still, I'd be wary about returning to S. Korea. It never seemed like you had a great time there. Also, I wouldn't want to go unless you were 100% certain you'd get that job that your friend had. Have you considered trying to go to Japan instead? With your experience teaching in S. Korea, that might help you land a job more easily.
Also, and just consider it, but what about the military? You're smart, so you'd get a good job easily, and you have a degree, so you'd start off getting paid more than everyone else from the get-go. You wouldn't have to worry about finances either. The downside is you would be separated from your family although you'd have more opportunities to visit home than you would in S. Korea. Plus, once you got out, you could use the GI Bill to get your Master's. Then again, that's a huge commitment to make. >> Still, something to consider.
But yeah, short answer is go where you'll get paid.
