Topic for class participation after answering the question:
"How did the birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down their homes? (There are no wrong answers. Feel free to express your feelings, e.g., anger anxiety, inadequacy, helplessness, etc.).
Should you require debriefing at conclusion of exam there are counselors avaiable to assist you to adjust back into the real world.

Mega Art Procrastination Reminder
==============================================================================================

There are several people that I've promised to draw gifts for, even though they've told me its not necessary and to take my time. However, some of the people I've promised them to draw something like ... 3 years ago?... and some a bit more recent. Still, I really dont want to break promises. It is just my Giga-Ultra-Mega Artblock really disables me to do anything.

Still, perhaps making a journal about it helps me to do it. At least I have a better journal page on my page here than my previous one :/ ~

Anyways. People I've promised to draw something for so I remind myself :

- Blackmew13 (DeviantArt & Furaffinity)
- Tess380 (Furaffinity)
- Tanukiri (DeviantArt & Furaffinity)
- Lynxi (Just Steam/Discord)
- Bagabundis (Furaffinity)
- Rocket14 (DeviantArt)
- Minila (Furaffinity & Different DeviantArt Account)
- Trippledot (Furaffinity)

I think there might be more, tho others have received gifts from me already xP. I'll focus on these fl00fs~
