SketchedJDII

I'm back heheh.
Anyone still around?

I think it's a good time to sit down and relax after a lot of hard work. This is also a good time to write about where I've been to whom it concerns.
Since my last semester of high school, I ditched dA and submitting art to the public. One of the main reasons I did this was because of my academic workload, and I needed to soley give more energy to it. However, I've learned that that kind of action like has hurt me. I'm not alive because of academic work, and spending so much time on it doesn't make me happy or make feel like I'm living. As I'm learning more and more about myself, I can't do academic work alone. I need something good to go along with that.

That's where y'all come along.
Since I've been gone, I've created a new style to go along with my 'classic' style, and that comes along with a new dA account. More about this later.
Anyways, this is just a journal about me not being dead.

How did my senior year go?

I used to be a 13 year old kid who desired to be ahead of the curve. I wrote hypotheses about human nature and certain observations until I was 15. And now I've wrote senior theses (at the age of 17 and with prior knowledge applied) that even college graduates can't formulate a resolution to (said my high school counselor). You guessed it; I wrote my senior thesis about higher education and its current inability to be wisely measured (by ed faculty), and then be assessed in order to be improved. I wrote it in three days, sickened with senioritis and procrastination (the worst combo ever). In the last weeks of high school, I was so sick I had to wake up early in the morning (4 or 5AM) and write papers in that day until an hour after noon. I did this two times: three full essays and six short responses. And they were my dual enrollment. I passed both of them, feeling like I only needed my grades to be enough to pass. Once Regular Show ended and I had the fresh curse of senioritis in January, I literally became academically useless. I didn't turn in my statistics homework for a week because I felt too sad. I turned in another paper too late for my college English course and it wrecked that semester of grades to be a simple C. Ditto with my other college class, except it wasn't my fault. Internet stalled out; turned in a paper late. Wrecked that grade into a lower C. The rest of the semester was about a big game of pull-up. And I pulled up like never before. For example, I am the first and it was my first time getting a 100% on a test in a college course and in my high school career, though, on that day I only had two hours of sleep because I studied in one day. I would've passed that class with a high A had it not been for one grade that wasn't my fault. But I count that I did get an A then.
Anyways in sum, senioritis is very likely to occur to any high schooler; but I guess it was only natural for me to react the way I did in that last semester of high school. Senioritis is an awful ailment.

On the day I graduated, I wasn't smiling that much. I wanted my high school days to come to an end. And they did. Maybe because I had senioritis as a result from thinking it was over once semester two began.
But I had to move out of my house the day after, and so I was busy and sad.


Today (the last few minutes of it) is the last day I am 17, not a legal 'adult'
I always thought that the time that the earth takes to revolve around the sun once shouldn't dictate maturity. I would reckon they don't correlate either.
Writing this as a 17 year old, I never liked to be patronized and looked down upon because I don't have enough of these arbitrary years in order to be wiser than the 18-year-olds and older, who were allowed to vote a nationalist bigot and joke as the leader of the free world. And when I become 18 years old, I will still carry the rationale that I've had since I was 16; I still think like a 16-year-old.
It is foolish when representatives (who don't even begin to represent my ideas)
I'm not waiting and haven't waited for the stroke of the clock that I'm 18 to do consequential or "adult" actions...

Why did I choose this username:
In 2012, I was interested in architecture. And I was told by an architect that it's catchy to use initials (mine are JDII) to sign your work or as your pen name. When I was signing up for this dA, I thought my artwork at the time was scratchy, a little sloppy, or whatever. It was sketchy in that way; Sketched + JDII = SketchedJDII.

I'm also bad with usernames.
