Life update and whatnot

Hello everyone, been a while since I posted a thorough journal on here so I figured now would be a good time to state what's been going on as of late. So I haven't posted a journal since Fangcon, and in that time there's been a few things going on.
The biggest thing undoubtedly has been the fursuit I recently received. I attempted to keep it somewhat secret, but I couldn't help telling a few people and that may have been leaked slightly. Back in July, I decided I really wanted to commission a suit, and I noticed an auction for a neat realistic partial. I got bought out by the end but I messaged the maker and ended up getting a commission slot. Just last Monday, I received the suit in the mail (beware international fursuit shipping, it can take like a month lol). I have an unboxing video which I may link here in a bit at some point, and I also have a couple more pics and whatnot in storage at the moment -- I just don't want to flood my FA haha. I've worn the suit 3 times so far, once when I got it on Monday and then another time last Friday. It's really not as bad as I expected in terms of heat, since I was able to go two and a half hours on my third wearing at the Furstrike in Lexington KY last week. That was a quite fun event btw :3 I got my picture taken with some kid, and a few other people. Made me feel kinda happy that they enjoyed my fursuiting haha xD That night went by super fast in suit though. It was like a 4 hour long event and it didn't feel near that close. Anyhow! I've got a few events over the Summer during which I'll probably suit and hopefully at some of the local meets if the weather doesn't suck. Hoping I can give out plenty of hugs and get some pics taken of me lol.
Besides the suit, I had a pretty relaxing Christmas break in December and January. Was able to do a good amount of socializing with my school friends and I managed to attend some furmeets and other hangout with my fluffier friends. I always do enjoy a nice trip somewhere; seeing new places has always been relaxing for me in a certain way. For Christmas I got some nice PC equipment and some handy electronics, which were very appreciated and have been serving a useful role.
Right now I've been getting some pretty good work experience by working as a German tutor and a math tutor for the university. The jobs aren't too difficult, though having to wake up earlier to go to school has not been terribly enjoyable. I do certainly need the money at the moment, however, so I'm pretty thankful I have some easy going jobs to regenerate my back account (post Fangcon I was pretty broke tbh xD ).
I'm currently on my third week of school and this semester is looking to be a doozy. I've got a lot of upper level classes this time around, and since I need to catch up on certain coursework requirements, those classes have become more strenuous still. I think I'll be able to handle it, but school is going to be my primary focus at the moment. Currently pursuing a double degree in Geography and German, and I have a lot of classes I need to take, particularly since there's a heavier research emphasis taking place than I anticipated. On the plus side, things will be more chill in the fall so I'll have more time to devote to my hobbies and furry activities. To be honest, I'm probably going to end up going to grad school or law school in a few years. Before that, however, I want to try and enjoy plenty of memorable events with friends and see a lot of new places.
Well, that surmises what I had to say for now. Look forward to some more fursuit pics for the time being and maybe something silly if I can get my camera to work lol. I might try and commission more art at some point since I've been longing to do that for a while now. At any rate, I hope you all are doing alright!
Bawrk at you all later!
