Art Student Fashion

We have many choices in life, one of them being to disappoint or to impress people.  When it comes to school though, I'm usually the student that goes beyond what is asked, but lately I'm getting worn out.

I'm the kind of person that doesn't like to disappoint, in most cases, but there are times in life where you have to choose who to let down in times of struggle, and that's really hard for me to realize.

Last night I spent forever working on my dress, making it completely from scratch, sewing everything together with my PFAFF machine that I'm lending from my aunt.  I showed up to class at the regular time and everything was perfect, my teacher spent individual time with me for probably an hour in the bathroom as we tweaked it to fit correctly... fyi the sheerness of the muslin made my striped granny panties easily seen. Even though working so hard on that was worth it in the end, I neglected my fashion history homework because the overload from everything else.

I went into my teacher/student conference shaky, whether it was from lack of sleep, nervousness, or caffeine, I don't know... but I bombed it.  There haven't been that many times in my life that I can honestly say that I wanted to disappear, but at that moment I wanted to soak into that hard cushion and never reveal myself.  Maybe seeing her tomorrow will be a different story.  I have to study my butt off for her extremely hard exam tonight but at the moment all I want to do is sleep.

I'm exhausted, worn out, and looking for the weekend which starts at approx. 6:20pm Wednesday... whatever it brings me.

Thank God for Easter break... but seriously, thank you lord.
