10/8: Elevator Days

Second week into the term, still incredibly tired. Both for good and for bad.

Bad first: I've come down with some kind of cold (it's foreign to me, though; I've never had a cold this demanding before), and it seems everyone else on campus has had the same symptoms I have, all stating how abstract the symptoms were from a normal cold.
UM. I'm sure it's nothing serious, ha ha. But it has made me more fatigued than before, as I force myself into bed by midnight regardless of homework content and waking up at 8 am. Someday, I shall sleep in.

But as far as homework goes? AMAZING. I have to make character sketches for the play "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" with character analysis', I have a daily construction homework for my Costume Construction class and basically looking at the stars for my Astronomy class. Oh and practice my Chinese, of course.

我研究了很多，但我讲一点点国语 (Translation: I study a lot, but I speak a little Mandarin. Even though, technically, the Internet is stupid in not translating right. I will have to download something to make my character writing even more efficient and accurate)

Anyway. But I am also exhausted for good reasons, too. Tonight was my last night officially working at Wendy's, which means more focus time on all this Assistant Designing work! It is for the better, I believe.

Speaking of which, so far everything is going smoothly. But everyday seems like a test on my self confidence. The days alternate; one day I will feel like the most accomplishing person ever, and the next day I will have completely screwed something up and disappointing my Designer. It certainly is testing who I am and who I have to become to accept this career choice. Along the way, I will just need to know how to become a better helper and realize, in the end, that if I don't live up to someone's expectations, then I have to compromise with that rather than beat myself up consistently about it.
Or strive for improvement. Either way.

I am grateful for this opportunity and by the end of this run, I will have learned more than I thought I would have.

So I hope y'all had a good week and I hope you have a good week to follow! I'll let you know how everything goes on my end! Later~
