first off, i've decided to change the avatar i'm using here! i liked having venice, but i think riley's icon matches the theme of my website better. i'm thinking about making a new layout, though, so we'll see if it lasts.

anyway, happy new year everyone! i hope your first few days have been good. mine have gone pretty well overall! i've been thinking about what i want to accomplish this year. i'm not really a resolutions kinda guy, so who knows if any of this will even get done, but i'd like to give it a shot! here's what i've got so far:

• get more seriously into sewing
• make a game! just a small one
• finally graduate!!!
• draw something for a ship (saiouma?) once a month

i think that's a reasonable set of goals? i've never been a goals girlie either so i'm not sure... LMAO. we'll see what happens! above all, i think i wanna be more patient with myself in the new year. if i don't do everything, that's fine!

as far as updates go, there's not much to report. school started on thursday and it's already been a bit busy; there was some work crammed into this first week, despite it only being two days long. it wasn't too bad, though! it was mostly programming, which i love to do. this weekend i wanna play around more in godot and clickteam fusion, though i'm low on ideas at the moment. i have some commissions i need to get done, too, but luckily they're all my favorite kind to do. that new year's event page WILL get done, too!!! i already started writing for it, i just need to finish that, then design and code the page.

that's all for now! i hope everyone has a good weekend :)
