Ugh. Due Thursday, I have 31 flats (technical drawings) due. I love technical drawings, it's what I'm good at. But also on Thursday, I have my one and only midterm. Which I'm trying to study for. I'm answering all the questions on the study guide. Which is a lot. It's not the hardest class I could take, but I find it very boring and therefore hard to retain information. So I really have to study it hard. I've finished half the study guide and I'd say about 3/5 of the flats. I've got all the flats drawn, now I'm going back and going over them in pen (I don't even have to color it in or anything), which takes a surprisingly long time (it's not that long, but longer than you probably think) and a steady hand. I don't have a steady hand, which makes it take even longer. But I don't have a long time. Which has made some of these look like crap. After I finish inking them in, I have to cut and attach the fabric swatches, and label them with the fabric content and name (ie "100% cotton denim" or "65% cotton, 25% linen, 7% nylon, 3% spandex seersucker" - and yes, that really is one of the swatches we were given).
And my homework for tomorrow - well today I guess - kept giving me problems and took me so long that I didn't really get enough of my other work done for Thursday. I may leave my patternmaking class early tomorrow. And I don't think I'll be able to finish cleaning my room before I go home like I wanted. I've been doing 20 minutes every night, except for tonight, and it's a lot better. It would be even better if I had more hangers and drawer space, because right now I've got a laundry basket of clean clothes taking up space. Which wouldn't be a problem, except that I also have a laundry basket of dirty clothes taking up space. And it doesn't leave me a lot of space, especially when combined with the rest of my crap, to move around.
All of a sudden I am exhausted. I was really just typing this to stretch out my hands before going back to working, but I haven't been feeling well lately and I hardly slept last night because it was so hot. Actually, I don't know if it was hot. It may just have been me. But I was dying. I was in a partial sleep (I wouldn't even call it a half-sleep) because of the heat (it always makes me drowsy) so I couldn't get up and plug in a fan or anything but I wasn't actually asleep. And I didn't nap today at all, and I won't be able to tomorrow, either. So I'm going to go to sleep instead of continuing to work.
I can't wait for break on Friday. I am going to sit on my ass on the couch in front of the big screen TV with my book (albeit a reading book for one of my classes, but I'm told as far as managerial instructional books go, it's really good) and the remote, maybe my cross-stitch, if I bring it home with me, for nine days. Count 'em, 9.
