General generalness. Why won't my ankle just break already?
So first off, a bit of bad news. Yesterday I went to fight practice. I wasn't intending to fight because the side of my face is still too tender to wear the fencing mask, but I went anyways 'cause it's sort of like a social event. At fight practice I took a step on the grass which apparently wasn't even and I hurt my ankle AGAIN. I just did this two weeks ago! And now again, but THIS time, I was wearing an ankle brace!! This ankle brace was on very snug, it has metal splints in the sides and I STILL managed to do this. It wasn't as bad as last time but still pretty bad, which makes me wonder how bad it would've been if I wasn't wearing the brace.
This is SO annoying. Not even considering how much this hurts (and now I am limping!), it's just freakin annoying because I can't FIGHT. I am trying to take it easy so I can fight rapier at Crown and it just seems like no matter what I do I hurt myself anyways. I freakin hate this.
I really wish that my ankle just broke in the first place. I know that's a dumb thing to wish, but when I first injured myself back in October and got X-rays the doctor literally said "It's almost too bad you didn't break it, it would've healed faster." This is the 4th time now it's been injured and I am just sooooooooo tired of this.
I mentioned before that I can't wear a fencing mask yet. Oral surgery update: The swelling of my face looks like it has finally gone down. Today I looked in the mirror and it looks about normal, though my left side might still be a tiny bit swollen (My right side went down much faster and I thought it was back to normal and everyone kept telling me it wasn't. Apparently I don't know my own face?) Visible bruising on the face has gone. However, the numbness in my bottom lip and lower face is still there. However, it's a smaller numb spot, so I am hopeful all will be back to normal soon.
My face got back to normal looking just in time for my first day of classes today. So I figured that drawing class would be fun and after today's class I think I was right. To add to that, my drawing prof is SO FREAKIN HOT. In a nerdy sort of way, LOL (Okay I am just a sucker for plastic framed glasses and messy hair) So spending my summer days at school may not be so bad. At least the view is nice =D
Guillemin has been sewing up a storm at my apartment. With my direction he's made great progress on his new fencing garb. Doublet is more or less based off portraits of Charles I. G is getting much better at sewing straight lines and he is very proud of what he's done so far. I'm actually proud of him too, it is shaping up much better than the last doublet I helped him with. It should look pretty awesome.
I have been doing some sewing also. Apart from helping G & Feargan (Er if you don't know Feargan is G's Man-At-Arms) with their stuff I have also completed my Rus style hat for myself, and my mittens. My bog coat is almost done, I just need to sew it all together. Maybe I will do that today/tonight.
Summer projects list is coming along nicely:
-Bog coat for Me - ALMOST DONE!
-Mittens! With dummy strings! for Me - DONE!
-Rus style hat for Siobhan - May Crown
-Rus style hat for Me - DONE!
-Charles I garb for Raoul - Doublet pieces cut out
-Cotehardie & heraldic sideless surcoat for Me - Planned but not making until probably after Quad
-Charles I fencing garb for G - G working on it, maybe 30% done in total
-Doublet for Gemma - ??
-Kirtle and fencing jacket for Me - ?? Quad??
-Rus hat - ??
-Fencing garb for Dietrich - Fabric ordered
