So, it appears that as soon as I thought I'd be able to return, I up and left. I do feel bad for informing you all that I would soon return, but I have yet to show my face (or artwork, if you'd like to put it that way).

Anyway, my life has been going through significant changes and some more bad news just befell me. Thank goodness I'll be in college in another year and a half or so. Then I can finally begin to pick up the pieces and leave this dreadful life of mine behind, but of course I will never forget anyone on this site. All of you have been extremely kind with me. And you all constantly put up with my empty promises of return. And for that I do feel badly.

   Next year I am to begin two art classes for my senior year. I am taking one college-level advanced placement class as well as another advanced class, simply called "Advanced Art 1." Apparently the school does not believe my doubling up in these two areas will be a good thing. They tell me it will be difficult and I may just fail. But I have other things in mind and I am sure that I will be able to pass the courses with flying colours.

In any event, the thing that I am here to inform you all of is this; I have created a tumblr. The address is coffeestainsandlongnights.tumblr.com.... I realize that's quite the long name, considering the blog itself is called "Mild Apprehension" after the dreadful feelings that have been consuming me lately. In any event, I hope to see you all there. <3 Also, I hardly answer my old email much, so I've created a new one. I believe it can be found on my tumblr somewhere....

I am drawing a lot more, writing too. I hope to make my tumblr and interesting and inspiring place. I hoped to do this with DA, but I lost touch with the site as it upgraded.

Sincerely,
Kristen, and all of my coffee stains and long nights, haha.
