Well, fine, I wouldn't actually make a News post since I don't really do that unless there's some special event, and there is. Aside from the main title of the post, I've reached 200 favorites since some days ago as an audio artist here on NG. Once again, thank you for the listens, ratings, reviews and support you've given me! I really appreciate it that even after so long of me being inactive in submitting new songs for people to hear, there are still those who listen to my music nonetheless. Thanks much for that!

Now, on to what I really wanted to say. I haven't been submitting much content to the NG Audio Portal, nor have I been making new content at all. I'm about to enter college in a year, and so this last year of high school that I have is the hardest school year that I've EVER experienced. Projects are everywhere, lessons are difficult, schedules are confusing...it's really all to prepare myself to enter college.

If I'm not buried under school-related activities, the time I spend supposedly for creating music is spent on finding ways to make it sound better in all aspects. I'm talking about topics dealing with real audio engineering--the kind of things people learn to mix, master and produce albums for the world to hear, appreciate and commercially support. There are people who exist as audio engineers for a living. I never have enough time to do anything I used to, and if I do try to make something I wouldn't have any ideas thanks to everything I'm occupied with already. Really, it's frustrating, but it'll have to be that way...

I just hope that I'll somehow be set free from all of this someday and get back on track. Until then, don't expect anything much from LEAF XCEED's side. Unfortunately.
