10/23: Almost There...

Another day late. Hm. Expect updates now on either Fridays or Saturdays. Sorry, guys!

Anyway. More Hectacity ensues. This week hasn't been so much of a homework overload as it has been a time-consumption for other things.

The Assistant Designing thing has obviously been taking some time. We're now closing in on our Technical week, which I will have to start squirreling food around in the theatre building (I will find hidden cracks to hide cookies in!). It has mostly been figuring budget numbers and accounting for what the show needs and what it doesn't need. Ahh, to be a skillful accountant...

What has been taking my time, mostly, is Construction Class.

Mostly because our class is in the process of patterning pieces for the final project (An Edwardian/Victorian shirt fitted to ourselves) and the process takes several hours outside of class to finish the patterning.

The average for my fellow classmates is an hour minimum to finish this process.
It takes me five hours.
...I've been a little frustrated with myself, but I am determined to make sense of patterning with paper. It will happen. I may be slow with it, but with time and practice I hope to become more of a useful person.

I have been making myself step back and relax when I can, but some stress factors keep coming up. Mostly financing (what else is new?), finding a job, finding the hours for sleeping, and possibly finding a new place of residency before the end of December.

At this point, everything is literally up in the air. I have no control over what happens, so I am enjoying and taking everything one day at a time. I am having a wonderful time hanging out with my fellow costumers and friends and keeping in contact with the people I love. It means the world to me and literally makes the one-day-at-a-time thing such a possibility.

I hope all of you are taking your days one at a time as well, and I hope everyone has a fantastic week! Later~
