Oops...

It's 12.30 here and I'm avoiding work and realizing that the things i mean to post about never get posted. I went to Bruges last weekend and had an EXCELLENT time, then my family showed up on Sunday (I say "show up," but really I already knew they were coming, it was no surprise) and I spent the week with them. Yesterday, also, we had a classwide Thanksgiving celebration and I even got to help bake the turkey. It was fantastic.
Now I'm having to get all the work done because pretty much everything is due this week. I'm really stressed about it but there's this overlying feeling of relief knowing almost everything is finished come our exhibition on Saturday.
Kris will be here the week following and that's also pretty exciting.
I should get back to work. Hopefully procrastination will keep me updating again.

Two days in a row, yes!

Time for a break and an update!
I actually finished my model for studio. Nothing glorious, but now I have one and that alone makes me feel much better.

Need to get motivated to finish my other work before I go to bed now. Really it's just one more sketch, but I'm dreading it because already I've sketched two skylines and this is just more of the same. Oh well. Maybe I can make it exciting.
The week of hell and happiness draws near and I grow closer to panic. I keep thinking that I'm putting stuff off and I'm going to panic in the meantime, but then I think about it again and it just can't be as bad as I'm making it seem. I've only put off two things, both of which I've made time for later in my schedule. Really, it was for the good of my sanity.
I feel like this has gotten less and less about Paris and more about my life as a continuing student at Georgia Tech.

I'm not going to worry about it. My update from Bruges will be interesting, I promise. At least, I promise providing the trip is interesting.

Manic Mondays No More!

I'm feeling a lot better today about my workload, mainly because I think it came into focus just how long I technically have to do it, and how much work got done today.

Really, I'm stressing about things for which I have 3 weeks to get done. Even if I don't work much next week, I have the whole weekend following to do it, and there's still tomorrow as well.

I think I've just hit end of the year stress prematurely, really. Just need to take a breather and let it come as it does. For now, I do need to finish these text cards tonight and then see if I can get further on that model. Tomorrow, I shall get my library research done, then actually finish the model (30 more pieces to cut out and then glue together, thankfully it doesn't call for precision) and try to get some of the actual image cards done for Wednesday. Damien, I do not worry about right now. Doodling in my sketchbook is actually quite fun and I just need to print some of the photos I took before Wednesday's class. Still no worries.

Ugh, now that's it's in text it looks like much more, but still I will not let it bother me. I have a wonderful trip coming up in just four days and then a wonderful family coming to see me and damned if i let myself get down before it. So for now I'm just going to casually continue my research and let this fly as it will.

The alarm at this new attitude is slowly rising. Hopefully stress won't seize hold again.

What? Update?

I will update this on time, eventually.

Maybe when school has stopped kicking my ass. Because that's pretty much all that has happened so far, is schoolwork schoolwork schoolwork. But apparently "midterm" grades are in so I might get to find out if the work has paid off so far.

But I have to keep ploughing on until December. Thankfully most classes are done the 6th. That's 3 weeks from now.
3 short weeks of suffering and then I'm free.
Thank God.

Bruges this next weekend! Really looking forward to that. Mostly also because I get back and get to meet my parents, yay!!!

*cough*

I slept for most of today and AutoCAD isn't quite working right.
I think I'm coming down with whatever has been going around b/c my throat hurts... a lot... and I just want to stay home. T_T.

I don't have nearly enough work done yet. Oh well. I've still got to figure out how to get AutoCAD working so that I CAN get the work done.

Maybe there won't be negative entries for the next few days. I hope not.

Stressful Saturday.

Well, today was officially wasted on schoolwork, again, and I still have a laundry list of things to do.
Filmed at Sacre Coeur today and got to see the sunrise there. It was cool but that's really the optimistic side of it. We actually ended up having to deal with the leftovers of last night's drunks who were still awake and I only got 4 hours of sleep again, which it's looking like for tonight.
Oh well. You win some, you lose some. I'm getting tired of Paris though. It's time to be home. Hopefully when travelling picks up again and then when schoolwork cools down it will be more enjoyable. Right now I'd rather just stay in my dorm for a few days, to be completely honest. And not be doing schoolwork. I had a bit of a breakdown today set off by a rather sad movie but the crying just sort of continue. I'm a little alarmed but I figure it's that time of the month (which it is) so I just need to take it one step at a time and try to stay together.

Ugh.

Three more weeks.

Ugh Updates.

I still refuse to give up.

I don't even remember the last time I wrote.

But today started the 5-day weekend that is officially going to hell.
Time to get back to work.
