college blog: the good, the bad, and the ugly
its hell.. i mean Finals week... at my college.
Good:
i have two major projects that will be most of my grade:
Monday...trends and concepts the teacher even said he MIGHT consider putting me in for a Best In Quarter if my work is up to standard!!!!! its a lot of work still to do, trying not to put it off....
Friday...fashion sketch 1 this is my "easy" teacher. as long as i REALLY try i will be ok.... but its still a lot of work and too tempting to blow it off. trying to not procrastinate.
i think i should pull a decent grade out of them, its just TIME consuming...
Bad:
Wednesday AM clothing construction 1.
i totally blew my "middle project" which was a blouse. the buttonhole machine is new to me, and i was wrestling with it and put the buttonholes on the wrong side. i also mangled the hem. got a bad grade on that one. it is somewhat made up for my by decent grades on the dress and pants. i should get at least a B in that class.. sad.. i had gotten to like this whole "honors" thing.
Ugly:
Pattern Making 1
i routinely had trouble with the homework. it took SO much time. my dyscalculia is to blame for some of it (i also have spatial orientation issues) but some of it was just plain poor time management.. then everything blew up.. the van.. got sick.. and i got WAY behind
lots of missing bits in my homework. some of it may have been lost with the van??? maybe just in the confusion???? never could get it all re-done.
i had to turn in my book today....
C-
yeah...C minus
now i have to finish a dress, in muslin, from patterns we made from scratch. and turn in the tech pack, the patterns, and the dress, to be judged next wednesday.
if i KICK behind on that i MAY pull this up to a B.. maybe.....
anyway, i know that for my old high school grades this would be FANTASTIC.. but i was doing so much better.... and my perfectionist and depression/anxiety is kicking me hard ...
which i know wont help me get anything done, so i am trying to ignore it.
then more drama at home...
but yeah, its been a bad day.
