So I finally finished school *Hooray!* which means that now I will actually have time to do something a little creative instead of just endless hours of homework and studying. It feels strange to be able to choose what I want to do rather than working from a timeline or out of a textbook. The effort of an entire year (and to an extent all the years before it) boiled down to a few exams, and now it's all finally over. I actually feel a bit lost.... - too much freedom! But I'm thinking that now it might even give me a chance to get my act together and submit something to dA! Maybe. If I'm not too busy.

I've got a few months now where I don't have too many commitments so hopefully I'll get a bit of stuff done, but before too long I'll be heading off to China on a six-month volunteering placement! WOOOOO! I'm excited!
Of course, I don't actually know any Chinese yet so just a random shout-out to anyone who does speak the language and is reading this (unlikely, but hey it's possible) Please teach me! Or maybe help me practice or something.

Anyway, I don't really have anything else important to say, but just a general warning:

Watch out dA community, I'm back (until late February). And this time I might even get involved in stuff!
