Yesterday.

Today was interesting.

Met Mimu at the sketching workshop Radenbaugh has. We have realised that we have no idea how we will complete 5 croquis with 5 hands, faces, and shading within the 2 and a half hour time limit. I was only able to complete 1 and a half. Her 1. That is without... shading...ugh... It is 70% of our grade. If we do not do well ... we do not pass. An entire quarter of wasted time, if we cannot pass. Teacher thinks we are freaking out for nothing... we do not agree.

We then spent lunch at a Greek restaurant. The food was delicious. Oh my goodness, if it were cheaper I would eat there every day. No joke. Definitely worth it.

Afterwards, we spent the rest of our afternoon in the sewing room. Accomplishing little but at the same time a lot. I keep trying to tell myself, and Mimu that we are beginners we will get there. But... even I doubt myself when it takes me so much time to attach one sleeve to one cuff to one bodice and overlock all my seams. SIgh. The stress is getting to us. Quarter end is near and how I fret. I just want to do well. I am so worried for my grades to come back. We have one last project for Colour and Design and I need to complete the retail and the group project for History of Costume as well. I meet my group tomorrow a little after ten as I need to purchase a shirt and get ten dollars for Elizabeth to get our group logo placed on them. Retail I hope to do on Sunday at the Grove. My free hand Matisse I think will be as close to a ballerina as I can get without a drawing or exacto knife. But mostly this weekend will be sketchsketchsketchsketch...

Except tomorrow...my first day of work at Express. I am so nercous. I hope I can do well...better than well. Wish me luck everyone. I am going to continue this film I am watching called Outsourced.

Stolen Sleeves.

Today, what a day.

Good news, my colour and design teacher actually enjoyed my painting.
I have finally done something to please her!
Though, I am quite jealous of another student's shading techniques.
oh, had only we used oil. Then I could have shown them all!

Ah, then came sewing.
Disastrous. Fought with my machine. Moved machines. Fought with new machine. Fought with sleeve. Fought with placket and cuff, (SP?). Moved machines. Fought some more. Finished sleeve.
SECOND SLEEVE, PLACKET AND CUFF STOLEN BY OTHER STUDENT.
Life.
Ended.
Borrowed sleeve and placket from other student to create a new one from scratch. Thank goodness I brought my ruler with me for once.

Tomorrow, Sketch lab and more sewing as blouse is due next Thursday and I need to study the previous seams and tucks we learned for the final exam.
Sigh my stomach is in a bind.

Wonked.

Headache day continues.
Motivation-less day continues.
I am drained.
I do not feel it is school.
But I do feel something is draining me.

Do you ever wonder if sometimes there is someone or something out there doing all it can to zap your life force?

Catfish looks interesting but I think someone posted the spoiler on the website. I hope that is not how it ends, I will be so peeved.

Interview went okay. Could have gone better. But for some reason I lost my tongue.
This is causing me to feel nervous about my first day on the job, come Saturday.

I have also lost my appetite again.
I have eaten but only out of habit.
I wonder when it will come back?

We all have dreams.
We all want to be free and unique.
When are we going to realise, there's not much one can do, to be different?
We are all the same.

I am heartbroken.

PS. He makes me feel better. He really seems to love me. My heart is filled with what my sister calls flutterbys. I have missed him so much.

Hot and Cold.

Today was one of those days.
But it feels like one of those days has been going on for weeks.

Interview tomorrow.

Might go apply for the Mode on Thursday at 11:15AM.
It's our schools magazine. I guess they need a lot of writers.
Roomie thinks I should do it. Man, what a rejection if I don't, haha.

My body can't decide the temperature.
I hope I haven't caught anything.
I'm going to get something to drink and head for bed.
I need to get up early to prepare for 2 workshops and the interview and tidy up my assignment Thursday.

I want to be a real lifestyle lolita.
I want to be demure.
I want talent.

Migraine.

So, I accomplished no sketching yesterday.
Today is my last day to be able to procrastinate and I cannot recall what the assignment was in the first place.

I have a migraine causing my left eye to feel like it's been stabbed. Multiple times.
Though, I hope that it will start to subside shortly as I really have wasted enough of my day doing nothing as it is.

Next time our roommate decides to raise the thermostat to 75 degrees when she crawls into the apartment at god knows when; there will be hell.
Day 1: Agreement was made to keep at 65 during the evening.
Therefore you need to STOP SHUTTING OUR BEDROOM DOOR AND RAISING IT TO WHATEVER DEGREE YOU STOP AT. 75 is not even the worst it's been. It was 80 one night.
80 DEGREES? Quit turning the AC off you disrespectful tart.

I really need to not blog when I am crotchety.
Caro

PS I had a chance to confront her about the AC and I chickened out like a little buffoon..... =_=

Pretty Little Things.

I have just updated the layout of my blog, and used one of the new offered templates because I actually think it's quite lovely. Besides it's time for a change.

I have also created a Polyvore account into which I have published two new sets. You can find an image link in the above left corner.

School has been a tad hectic. But I feel I have learned a lot. We get a three week vacation coming up mid September and I am quite excited.

I was recently hired at Express my first day of work is on Saturday. I have an upcoming interview on Wednesday with the Limited along with my roommate. Cross your fingers for us!

My sewing class I feel is my favourite. The most interesting and challenging. I feel I have grown in leaps and bounds and hope that my blouse at the end of this quarter comes out wonderfully.

I need to finish one last set of two paragraphs describing the zeitgeist of the times. Then my History of Costume notebook will be complete. Hopefully, at that point I can move forward into the final painting for my Colour and Design Theory course. Then of course last minute sketches like always for FS1 class, haha.

I hope everyone is well.

Frustration.

The school is being of no help in getting me my insurance reactivated.
Though my adviser is nice and always offering to help, she doesn't pull through like other students' advisers.
Also, never heard back from housing.
I'm getting really upset about the way a lot of things are going.

Goal: FIND JOB FAST
FIND APARTMENT
SURVIVE FIRST QUARTER

Sigh.
I feel as though my life is still in shambles,
as much as it has ever been.
