Positive life updates, finally (Patreon)

Just got back from a work trip to Northern Finland lasting few days – but driving for six hours straight is still very exhausting. 

Things have been pretty nice recently, especially since last year and years before that have felt to extremely stressful and busy.  After leaving Malta – which was a great place to be for a year, but an even better place to leave – I was employed to start up a video team in a construction company.

The first year has been rough, but it's also been extremely rewarding and humbling. I've learned to understand that many things that I thought I knew were completely wrong, but then again some things that I've never thought I'd enjoy doing have found out to be the lifeline of my career – like Google Analytics and Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter ad campaigns. Who could've guessed?

But the good news – I've goddamn finally finished my university and all of its courses. It took me six years, but here I finally am. When I get the diploma on my hands, I can call myself a Bachelor of Culture and Arts in journalism. Or, as the Finnish, way more boring version goes, Medianomi (AMK).

The good news don't end here.

As some of you might've caught up from our stream, Leila and I are expecting a baby. A baby boy, to be more precise, and he's due on July. This is something we've been thinking for a while, and decided that Malta is not a good environment to have a child in. Finland, in the other hand, is an excellent place to raise a child in, especially because Finnish babies sleep in cardboard boxes (BBC). Finnish babies also sleep outside in sub-zero temperatures (BBC).

What about Project L?

Well, as my school is finally finished, I've got way more time to focus on new projects and latex shoots. Obviously this means that Leila is unavailable to model as frequently as she did, but I'm about to start a campaign to reach more models and to reconnect with my older models.

When the baby is due, there will probably be a few month's break in Project Ls, but then again, as Leila's getting a year-long maternity leave, and I'm getting around two months (combined paternity + summer leave), I could possibly have time to do more. Probably not, but it's not impossible.

The 72nd Project L probably won't have enough material to have a behind the scenes part itself, but I should have some video for us preparing, and I'm having high hopes to be able to publish it on YouTube. If not, I'll just publish the remaining material here on Patreon.
