I get tired. And I don't mean the "geez I wanna go back to bed" tired. Tho' gods' know I've got that going on. No, I mean the "I'm tired of the track my life is on.....aren't we THERE YET?!?!" I've been steady going to school now since the Fall of '08. Non-stop. That's three semesters a year, 'cause I'm not gonna waste a summer when I can cram in at least 9 credit hours. No, I'm not really a glutton for punishment... :)
So we're cramming at the costume shop right now. First dress rehearsal for the upcoming musical is a week away. We still have several outfits to build. In fact, one of them is in my purse right now. :) It's also "fall break" at school. Which means all of my classmates are sleeping in and chasing good times, and I'm hunched over the sewing machine. *sigh* I know. I know. This is my choice. I'm trying to get school done as quickly as possible. It'll be worth it in the end....as long as I don't think too hard about grad school. lol....
BUT!! I did get to have a great conversation about an independent project for my portfolio today with my mentor! I'm very very excited about it. Turn of the century -- Victorian/Edwardian -- dress with LOTS of details. I'm sure I'm jumping feet first into the deep end and that I may have gone a little overboard -- but the dress is sooooooo pretty!!! I can hardly wait to start working on it!
Another good thing about today -- one of the pieces we're building is a 1940's evening gown. It's a lovely shade of robin egg's blue with shiny white lace overlay. Boss says it'll be a good one for photographing and putting in my portfolio to show my construction skills. He's so nice to me! :)
So while part of today was a heaping pile of "poor me", it didn't really last long. Yeah, I get tired. I want to be done and moving on to more. But just making my way through the process lets me make beautiful things and learn new and spiffy stuff...... Unfortunately for my pocketbook, I now want an industrial sewing machine...... lol!! Oh, ebaaaaayyyyyyy.......
