The past two weeks have been insane. I have been working on the school project mostly alone for the past few weeks. Steve, the partner, was making comments at one point saying, "$40m project and only one guy doing everything. It's incredible!" I have really enjoyed the responsibilities and possibilities that has gained me. I am hoping it continues but I have a feeling the project will begin to get more and more divided up in the next month. I am flying back from Houston now. I flew home for thanksgiving, then flew to Norfolk, VA a workshop on our project, then back to Houston for Melissa's wedding. I'm taking my first ARE on Wednesday and then Scott and Erika are coming to New York on Saturday. Oh and I got to see Kelly for the first time since her wedding today. And she's pregnant! And Erika is pregnant with twins! And I refinanced a huge portion of debt that has been causing me problems for years into a more manageable thing. Omg everything has been so busy.
I am really worried about the ARE on Wednesday. I have not been as good at studying as I would like to have been. I'm making a last ditch effort and took Monday and Tuesday off so I can study my ass off. This better work out. I really want to get these over with by May... Right around the time I will be finished with Idp. A year from now I should be licensed and have the ability to capture higher value, which will greatly help my overall life quality.
It was crazy seeing Melissa getting married. I have some opinions about that which I probably shouldn't air out here, but it was interesting when the group of her close friends were all together at the wedding talking about things. Now Scott is next. He is even talking about getting a house soon. Really making life happen.
It was sort of a bummer that Melissa scheduled the wedding the weekend before Sarah's final review for her first studio at RISD. I would have loved to have flown her out here to go along with me. I also feel bad that I wasn't able to help her out and be there more for her this weekend as I should have been. I haven't been the. Best companion for her these last two weeks with all the craziness. Life is difficult.
