Finals

Since grades are all posted and I don't have to constantly obsess over my final grades, I can now relax and feel confident in showing you guys what kind of work I do at school!

There's only so much I can show you since some of my classes are hands-on, like Apparel Process, so I'll stick to showing you some examples of the work I've done for a couple of my computer-based courses.

ER

It's funny, the night of the last post I made was such an awful night for me. Reading back on what my worries were is humorous. That night I spent about 4 hours in the emergency room all by myself due to excruciating pain I was having in my stomach. Come to find out – I've got a gallstone. As if my life didn't need to get any more complicated, I end up with having to deal with health issues and finals all in the same stint. I mean, it's been difficult. Especially food choice-wise. Nothing goes better with finals than pizza and sodas and loads of chips and snacks. All of which I am very unable to eat at the moment. I'm healing and detoxing in order to get my gallbladder back to health so I don't have to take any drastic measures and go through surgery. I literally do not have the time to take off to do that. None.

SO, here I am, at the very end of Q2 and I see an awfully familiar pattern in my blog postings. I'm trying to do better, trust me, but some days just aren't as fun as others. I go to school, come home, do homework and repeat. Nothing fancy.

I'm also going to show you very soon some of my final projects in my classes this quarter so you can get a chance to see what I'm learning and really understand a little about product development and the endless things I'm doing.

I have a little bit of good news as well, but I will keep that under wraps for a while before I spill any beans.

Hope you all have an amazing holiday break! Check back for updates these next few weeks. I'll be spending a lot of time alone and I'd love your company!

Internships & GPAs

First off, let me just say this: juggling life and managing time is hard and exhausting. Is this what they mean when they say, "You can't have it all"?

With my recent stint back home for the Turkey holiday, I'm still trying to get back into school grooves. Although I did feel like I got a lot done while I was stuffing my face with dinner rolls and sweet potatoes, I still didn't get as much done as I should have. Just to make my life a little easier this week. Mais, c'est la vie.

The end of my 2nd quarter is on the rise and time is slowing down for no one. I need to kick my butt into gear and deal with all that I have going on before it catches up to me the week of finals. I still have to make at least 3 garments for Apparel Process and design a whole 12 piece collection for CAD. One person can't do all these things!!!

3rd quarter registration starts bright and early tomorrow. I'm so baffled that it's already going to be my 3rd quarter. Then my 4th. Then I graduate. Again. HOPEFULLY I'll also have an awesome job lined up for me as well. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for that.

I frantically texted my mom at 9:45 for help with a cover letter. What's the point in cover letters again? Nothing! They're pointless! And also stressful. I think I generated more stress in writing three little paragraphs than I have my entire scholastic career. Just kidding, the ACTs were pretty rough.

I'm hoping I can find an internship by the time I need to in order to get academic credit for the quarter. I just want some actual experience in working with a brand. School is fun and all, but actually applying it to real life stuff would be super rad.

I wish my GPA wasn't in jeopardy this quarter. That darn Merchandise Math and those quizzes might bring me down. Rats.
