Embryology notes are by far some of my favorites to draw and color. All the colors are just gorgeous.

MIA: An explanation of moods and madness

Yes I will be posting more photos of my hand drawn notes soon! First I need to talk to y'all about what's going on with this upcoming school year. I am repeating first year. It's weird to say, especially because I was doing so well at first. Let me back up a second though. I really want to give a full explanation. School started last fall and I was ridiculously excited. I honored anatomy and almost honored biochemistry. Basically my first semester went better than I ever thought it would. I expected second semester to follow just the same. I killed our first physiology test and was so stoked. I'm trying not to make this post cliché by saying this is where the trouble started or this is when things got bad. That would be a lie. Things actually got really good. I was on a high but, as our final approached, that high got out of control and wouldn't go away. I took the final in the middle of a manic episode and bombed it. That manic episode continued another week and then left my brain in disrepair. It was like my brain had gone on overdrive for so long that it needed to completely shut down (well not completely but you know what I'm getting at). Long story short, the rest of the semester was very shaky. I am grateful that I was given another chance at first year. I am recovered now and I am looking forward to returning next week. Bipolar disorder sucks ass. Part of the reason I started this blog was as a way to cope with some of the turmoil it brings into my life. I just want to thank all my followers for being a part of that. I look forward to producing a lot of pretty art work for you this year! Xo M

So much room in my planner now that school is out! Something that would have taken up line (like the dentist) takes up an entire box!
