⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀♡ !! please read the entire description before commenting !! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀♡ so... goodbye ? you may be asking, "lav, are you leaving?" well... not necessarily it's not really my fault, i'm kind of being forced to "leave" lol ok, i'll stop stalling now pfft i'm gonna make this structured bc im cool like that and so it's not just a mess of me ranting ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀♡ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀why? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀♡ so, why am i "leaving?" well, in short, my chromebook needs to be returned back to the school. next year, my stupid, stupid school is deciding to revert to a cart system. this means that we will not be able to bring our chromebooks home and they will be used purely at school/in classes where we need to use our chromebooks. they'll be kept on carts in those specific classes and we'll be assigned numbers and such for it. ik. stupid. and why are they doing this? because of "misuse of chromebooks" which, i mean, i get. a lot of people use their chromebooks for like games and stuff but in my opinion thats not even that bad if they get their work done. i guess it's also to help keep track of maintenance and so not as many chromebooks break. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀♡ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀what does this mean for me? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀♡ a few things. 1. i won't be able to be on scratch at all during the summer. they are taking the chromebooks on the 9th of june, i'm pretty sure 2. next year i'll most likely be fairly inactive considering i probably won't want to be pulling up scratch in the middle of class. 3. probably no digital art for me anymore :thumbs up: /sarc yeah so. i'm really upset about this one specifically because i love digital art and i won't be able to do it at all. i mean, i guess maybe sometimes because sometimes during class i draw but i most likely won't be able to next year sadly, i, ofc, won't be active for the 3 months that school is out. if you ask me about my phone, yes i have one but my parents don't know about my scratch account and i rather they didn't so.. yeah. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀♡ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀what will happen in the future? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀♡ well i'm hoping they change this stupid cart system but if they don't i'll most likely go inactive on scratch, or at least be very rarely active. and this... is super sad for me. i love scratch. it's a great community and helped me grow as a person and grow my art style. if it weren't for scratch i would've given up on art, ngl and i'm so, so grateful for where i am today. i love all of you and i really do wish there was a way i could stay hopefully i'll be able to check scratch whenever i can when i'm at school next [school] year but i doubt it'll be often. if i can it'll probably be a few check-ins but not on weekends or after school hours. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀♡ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀in conclusion, ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀♡ thank you all for the amazing time i had on scratch. i love all of you so, so much and i'll probably continue with my art journey traditionally :D if i end up getting a chromebook back i'll be sure to tell all of you <3 !! but !! still be sure to stay in touch, even if i may not respond right away i'll try whenever i can ! i'll try to be ultra-active for the next week before i get my chromebook taken away and pump out as much art as i can so y'all have something to look at while i'm gone !! lmk if you have any questions in the comments <3 ! love u all so much :D [ I'LL STILL BE ACTIVE UNTIL THE 9TH... I THINK ITS ON THE 9TH OR 10TH OR SMTH LIKE THAT LOL--] if i become randomly inactive it's because of this :') [ p.s. the song is . by girl in red, just the instrumental version bc its actually such a vibe-- ] ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀♡ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀goodbye <3 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀♡
