First off, to those wondering, no, I haven't stopped designing. It's just that class has already started, and I've been a bit busy. We're only a week in and they're bombarding us with a whole lot of things to do and study.
But first, a little thanks is in order:
To those who still remember, I actually started the shirts thing because I lost my Medical school scholarship. My family and I were in a tight bind on where to find enough money for it. If you guys will remember, my tuition fee per semester is roughly $2500. It's around $500 per month. Not exactly cheap.
I'm happy to report that I've successfully enrolled myself around two weeks ago, so I'm continuing school successfully! With a some hard work from my parents' part, a little help from relatives, and my earnings from my shirt sales, I was able to get myself fully paid for this semester. There's still the issue of next semester, but right now I'm just happy enough that I'm still in school.
And I seriously could not have done it without you guys. From all the sales, I was able to earn two months worth of tuition. I gave this to my Dad, and he cried right in front of me. Cried so much. That I was doing something to help them out, and at the same time crying because I had to resort to something like this when he said that they should be the one doing the work.
But I don't care. I was able to help out, and that was because of all of you. Again, thank you very, very much. You guys have no idea how happy this makes me, and how pumped up I am for Med school again. I swear, I'll get back my scholarship.
That said, I didn't think the shirts thing would be so popular. I've actually been getting a lot of requests, too, which are still in queue (but I promise they're being worked on) mainly because of school. But I do work on them when I have spare time (though that's somewhat rare). I won't exactly quit making designs, but right now school is my top priority, so designs might come out in a very slow rate. I said I'd come out with a few designs last week, but I wasn't satisfied with the finished product that I scrapped them all and started again
. Now there are like… 8 pending for the Tales of Series, 2 for Legend of Korra and a whole bunch for Uta no Prince-sama even.
Again, thank you very, very much.

And Here We Go...
Class is starting once again, and I'm... not exactly feeling great about it. The first day of class has our so-called "opening ceremonies," where the faculty welcomes the first years and the Dean's Listers and scholars get recognized.
Yup, you know why I'm scared.
I had planned on skipping out on the ceremonies. I didn't really want to attend because, I'll go right at it, I don't want to hear them not announce my name in that list of scholars and have people wonder why I'm not on the list anymore. As much as I felt like I could do this, that I could carry on and start anew with renewed confidence and strength, that scholarship was something
I feel like I'm in a standstill
Ever since the whole scholarship-lost fiasco, I feel like I've been in a standstill.
Okay, so I'm still active in my fandoms. But that's because these are practically the only things that make me move. That make me go on and smile.
The past two weeks, all I've been doing is looking through fandom-related stuff and just sleep. That's it. That's all I ever do. No motivation whatsoever to do the other things I'm supposed to do.
I feel so unmotivated to do anything else.
Except the shirt designs, but I have logical motivation for that.
Seriously, I don't know anymore.
So it's official now. I lost my scholarship.
In reference to my previous journal. Yeahp, I officially just lost my scholarship.
Finally got to talk to the Dean. Drama ensued.
I wasn't able to talk to the Dean on the day I said I'd go to school, but her secretary told me to come the next day at 7:30. When I arrived, another person was also there, waiting for her. Apparently, she was also filing an appeal, though for her, it was to be enrolled in our school (her grades weren't within the school quota).
At 7:45, the Dean arrived. I was surprised because she seemed pissed. Apparently, it wasn't "office hours" so she wasn't supposed to entertain us. Plus, she had to leave for another scho
Emotionally preparing myself for what's to come
So, I never did explain why I needed money all of a sudden for my tuition fee (hence, why I'm making them Tales T-shirt designs). This is a long post, so yeah.
As you can see from my profile, I'm a 21 year-old Medical student. And let's just say, Medical studies aren't exactly cheap. Top that off with my family being in the lower middle class (actually, borderline lower middle class and lower class) with two students to send to school, all the expenses at home on increasing electrical bills and all that - yeah, we actually have it pretty rough. I know others do have it worse than we do, but I already consider our predicament bad. Not because
