This is the first time I'm late since starting my weekly updates. It has been a crazy day! Fortunately, I'm not too late, but I had a lot of work to do and a lot of other plans. Also I may have spent too long trying to get notes off my Steam Deck so I could update the Persona 4 Golden walkthrough and not enough time actually updating the website 😅
Looking Back
A lot has happened in 2023. I quit working as Behavior Technician to focus more on my school work, I completed the first (of many) dissertation milestones, and I became a Graduate Assistant and a commissioned artist. Becoming a commissioned artist renewed my love of art and drawing and I have produced more pictures this year than I have in any year for the past few.
This year has been far from perfect. There has been a lot of frustrations and many stressful hours. Overall though, it has not been a bad year. The last month was pretty bad, but it seems things will be turning around for at least the last week of the year.
Looking Forward
I don't want to jinx anything, but I am excited for 2024! I can already see things starting out well. Of course, I could come back as soon as next Thursday with a totally new take on that, though that will probably not happen until the following Thursday 😆
I have one final meeting just before courses start to go over a few things. This is next week. Then all will start up and I will know for sure how I will work within this role. I am a little worried, but also excited. I remember when I started as a Behavior Technician and how much I loved the change to get paid to play all day before getting disillusioned. I'm hoping the disillusionment doesn't happen this time, but we will just have to see in a couple of weeks, or maybe longer. Hopefully longer!
Goals for This Site in 2024!
As far as my site here, I'm hoping you will be able to see even more art in my galleries, both my Creations and my Commissions galleries. I'm also hoping to finally be done with my playthrough of Persona 4 Golden and have a servicable walkthrough and maybe review up soon. I know I am getting close to the end, so maybe I'll even start Persona 3 Portable or the remake next year as well. I'm also hoping for more reviews and first looks coming out next year. That section is still a little sparse 😅
All-in-all, I'm hoping to see the site grow and for some interesting stories to come up as well. Maybe you'll even find out way RE[BASE] is called that 😆 I hope you are looking forward to the New Year as well. Let me know what you're looking forward to most!
