many good things
Updated the comic. Oh. . . and for anyone I haven't assaulted yet. . . .

I PASSED MY SENIOR THESIS REVIEW!

Yes, I'm THAT happy about it. It means most of my worries for this school year are over. And what's more, they mentioned that my two-quarter project, the one that consumed my life for the first two semesters, was, in their words, 'impressive'. And it helped my chances on getting passed.

*squees from explosive happiness and falls over dead*

Couldn't have gone better. I've been having real issues with this whole college thing recently, and this just sent my courage through the roof. I finally feel like I'm accomplishing something here. Mind you, it's still not something that will help me in my lack of career ahead (schooling can't cover for a lack of raw talent) but it's enough to make me feel better about being here, which is enough.

And I'm keeping my end of the bargain to my mom. . . keeping my average at a good, solid 3.5. Considering how much help she gave me getting all my loans to go here, it's the least I can do for her.

Speaking of which, I might be seeing the motherly unit this upcoming weekend, if I'm not working. It'll be so nice. I have to get her something for mother's day. She's a short, athletic pure-blooded Italian woman who likes death metal, oldschool rock, teaching elementary school students, and her children. Any ideas? I could use some help.

Congratulations! We need a new word for 'congratulations' as it is long and never comes off with the right amount of excitement. How about *WOW* or something?

What's this about lack of raw talent? Dear Heavens! If all of your fans came up and slapped some sense into you it would hurt for years! Talent? You got it. Move on. Now as to where you'll make the money to live until your genius is discovered? No clue. Whatever happened to finding wealthy patrons?

As per your Mom... From the poor college student, how about artwork? Judging from your description, a leather dressed teddy bear might work, or it might be too cliche. As a mom myself, you don't need to make it a big splashy gift. This is a Hallmark holiday only. It needs to be acknowledged, but hanging out with the kids is all the gift that I need.

Might be a stupid idea, but have you ever heard of a band called The Gone Jackals? kinda-sorta old now, but I love em. Good rock. Maybe that would help.

Congratulations! Success is awesome :D

Yeah, I'm an almost complete stranger. (I sent you fanart once!) And as mother's day is in the past, I imagine any suggestions I could offer regarding a present would be rather useless. But that doesn't mean I can't wish you congratulations!

So now that you are out of school, are you done with your webcomic?

Schooling was apparently a pretty good sub for raw talent, since I've been watching. If you are done with it, or putting it on hold, please let us know since we are watching. Hope that final confidence boost has helped you land a job so you are putting the talent, er, schooling to good use for someone. But if it is no longer those of us following your comic, please let us know.

Congrats!

About the commissions things- is it ok with you if I pimp it on my lj? I only have a small number of watchers, but some may take interest, or link it to one of their friends.
