[EDIT]
recently entered her dog Sammy in [link] (the cutest dog competition) and won the first of 12 rounds, making him a semi-finalist. He racked up 1500 votes within 3 days due greatly to the support from DA artists and online friends.

If they can get enough voters to put them in the Finals, they'll will be able to win $5,000 and that will be all that they need. It takes a few minutes to register on the site, and then they need voters to vote for Sammy once a day, every day, for 2 weeks. Voting will start on the 26th.

All we're asking for is your help and support; share this story with all of your friends, fans, and viewers. The more people we can get on their side, the more of a chance we have at bringing Chelsea and Sam back together.

If you can please help out and it doesn't take long or much to vote!

I wont be on DA for a while, I have a lot of homework I need to do plus a ten page paper due at the end of the month. I haven't checked any of my messages yet, I just don't have the time right now, if you left a comment I'll get to them as soon as I get back

First day of college was today, and so far, so good. My Computer Concepts teacher is hilarious and I love his cell phone policy (if it rings in class, he gets to answer it) and being that my phone is never on I can't wait for someone's to go off in class (or the teacher's cause if his goes off one of the students get to answer it lol) I love my schedule I have a maximum of 2 classes a day monday through thursday and one class on friday (yay short days ). I have sociology tomorrow morning, it should be interesting, hopefully that teacher will be cool too (the required book was written by him though =/ _{money money money money!! 8D})

I only have four classes this semester: Computer Concepts, Trig (cause I needed a refresher, I placed in Pre-cal though =/), Sociology and Western history. I need to bring a sketch book to doodle in during my almost 2 hours of down time between classes, cause I can't leave classes cause I has no car =/ and my mom doesn't want to add 2 pickup/drop off runs to her list (which is fine)

I'm gonna miss my high school teachers, though, they were all so freaking awesome I'll have to stop by and say hi to them

I need to upload my pic that placed in the state fair...oh well I'll do it tomorrow

If I ever offered digital commissions (like a sketch/lineart like [link] or a character with a transparent background like [link] , or with a simple or more complicated background like [link] or [link]) would you guys buy any? I've never been great at putting a price to my work but what would you say that it's worth?

It'll probably be a while before I do commissions, unless I can talk my mom into it, but I'm curious.

Finished with my college course

+Edit+ I bought some Copic markers today, I found a store that sells them that's about 20-30 min from my house and I get a student discount! (they're still as expensive as hell though -__-) Yay test tomorrow! *shot*

+EDIT #2+ I found out last week that all of my entries to this years California State Fair have placed. The painting of Rou [link] and charcoal Wa-ya [link] both received 3rd place and a digital piece that I did (which haven't uploaded yet ) got 1st place and will be in the fair.

I will try to get my trades done ASAP but I will not have access to my tablet and photoshop until Wednesday.

On a more somber note I just found out today that one of my class mates drowned in the Sacramento/American river on Sunday, and they still haven't found his body. R.I.P George we'll miss you
