It's been a long, long while again.
I've had commissions that I completely had to lay aside for school. I got the apartment, and two months later the owners decided to up the rent by 10%, which was way out of budget.
With that came slight stress, but no biggie... Until the news came there was an "administrative error" regarding my education.
Result: No school, no apartment, no job...
I'm going to make an attempt to draw this off of me, and start on the commissions.
Life's a cruel mistress, but hey. If we all didn't have an expiration date, nothing would ever get done.
