The July update on my bingo card!

A 5-by-5 bingo listing my creative and media goals for 2025. Five squares are crossed off: Death Game Tour art, Fic Request, Sketch Galahad 10 Times, a second Sketch Galahad 10 Times, non-Aveyond RPG maker art, and Te'ijal, which is the free space. Another square, named Read 5 books from my physical TBR, has three tally marks on it. The remaining prompts are three more Sketch Galahad 10 Times, one more Read 5 books from my physical TBR, one Fic Request, two Art Request, release Inn Need Build B, Stella-centric Fanfic, Rhending fic, screenshot redraw, book fanart, finish a new cookie recipe, finish and post an existing WIP fic, Mucha-inspired art, old art redraw, finish Umineko, and away in the woods enters beta.

Pretty much none of what I did this month counted for the bingo, but that's okay, because I did a lot! I participated in ArtFight for my second year, and I, drumroll please, finished grad school! I have hated pretty much my entire time in my master's program – I didn't want to be a student again, but I had to be for convoluted work reasons – and it is such a relief to be done. I'm looking forward to working full time again and actually feeling like I'm getting work done, and having my evenings to myself again. I'm hoping that second part will help me cross of more of these fun personal goals, but I'm going to try to take it easy in August to make up for how hectic the rest of my summer was.
