Welllllpppp, this sucks

I've been unexpectedly able to enroll into college much sooner than anticipated. I was told that the college from where I got my associates degree would take several weeks to transfer my credits over to the college I planned to attend. Which changed my anticipated start date. I was supposed to start in late October as a result of the delay (due to COVID).
Turns out, I start Monday. Since I'll be considered a full-time student, I genuinely have no idea about what kind of time commitment I'll have, but I do know that my artwork will need to take a backseat and I won't have time to put out content regularly (and possibly also not frequently). My time commitment will end up being different every term, so there's a chance that I will have more time than I expect, but regardless, I've decided to effectively "mute" my Patreon. Patreon now has a feature where I can turn off rewards and payment if I'm not currently active, which is good for both you guys and me.
I'm glad that I'll be able to go back to school and finish my bachelors, but it sucks that my art won't be much of a priority. I'll still try to post any new art (WIPs and sketches included) on my Instagram (@one3yedneko) when I can and as often as I can while still maintaining some semblance of life outside of classes.
On top of starting college again, my husband and I will be preparing to move (again). For those who aren't aware (though I'm sure at least most of you are), he is active duty and his date to change duty stations is coming up fast. So with college as well as having to move in the coming months, I don't plan to have a whole lot of time to draw. But I promise I will get it in where I can.
When I have breaks between terms, I plan to take a few commissions. Probably no more than five at a time. I will also be selling prints regardless. My only delay with prints right now is trying to find a better company to print my art. My printer at home doesn't work and even if it did, it's not high-quality enough to print on some types of paper. So I've been sampling online companies to see where I can get my prints made in bulk for a reasonable cost.
That's all for now unfortunately. I will be back, I just don't know when yet. I'm sorry for the roller coaster of inactivity here these last few months regardless. I know it can be annoying when an artist can't stay consistent and I genuinely hate that about myself at times. The timing of all the events that have happened lately is just very unfortunate.
I hope you all stay safe and healthy!
