9-5 STRUGGLE POST

(I don't have a pretty picture to accompany this spur of the moment post, so here is a photo of my nails for the week. Horrible quality ipod camera, eeep but it is actually a very pretty pink with clusters of gold flakes)

I had a very, very miserable day today. Another full monday class of Patternmaking + Production class from 9am to 5pm, sigh. All of the pressure is really hitting me with everything being due in a matter of weeks

• toiles
• final dress
• final knit garment
• embellishment project accessory x2
• tech files for prod + patternmaking
• design essay
• design sketchbook
• design embellishment folio
• what else am i missing
• surely some finance thing is due, oh yup the finance business plan 30% weight is due, oh no

But I think I have finally hit a moment of clarity! The entire time 9/10 weeks that have passed I have complained about the requirement that we construct a knit cardigan/jacket piece to match our dress because I really did not think a knit piece would tie in with my dress and ahhh I have felt so uneasy and forced with it, but I finally feel content! I won't go into too much detail because I need to sketch this all out but I just need to write down somewhere that I finally have a clear image of my piece, and I am pleased! Now to just spend the next three weeks married to my sewing machine + long and more often train rides to Box Hill. Sigh, I need to motivate myself (I need to take No Doz)
