I decided to try to cheer myself by writing a little bit about my portfolio work for the craft science as a minority subject. I'm actually quite proud of it, considering how little time I had to do it. Of course, I didn't get in, but that's quite alright since they only accept two students per year.

I try to make this a short update.

I finished my Packing gown before the advanced premiere. Or at least it was ready enough. I am not at least satisfied with it, my mom cut the hem of my skirt a bit too short and the vest does not look good. And I so wanted it to be perfect.
