Sew Your Brains Out....

[numbed_entity]

Oh lordy lordy. I have done more sewing in this semester than I can remember doing in the past. I have done 2 garments and have 2 more to go, plus a possible fashion show (not to mention that I am also doing music ensemble this semester with fresh new musicians). My fingers are raw and my eyes hurt from straining and next semester will be just as bad. I am happy to say, however, that I got the fucking internship at the costume shop!!!! Fuck yeah nigga :-D. I have been volunteering there for a while and was informed that they do not do internships, but when the shop manager (who is super cooler than cool) found out I was doing my internship at the ballet company she said, Oh no, we will let you do one here working on Mizer!!!! Oh mah gaw, I was so happy. I will be doing period clothing men's wear (dublets, breeches, and the works). I will also be doing an independent study next semester sewing 3 garments for 3 different movie genres (horror, sci-fi, and fantasy). So, in essence, I will be sewing my brains out next semester as well but even more so. Additionally, I will be taking a costume crafts class, so fuck yeah! Learning to make hats, masks, dying things, and the like will be so much fun and so useful when I move back down to Miami to work either in the tv costume shop or the theatre one (that all depends on which one pays better, lol). I ain't complaining though because I get to moonlight in other shops after a while if I get higher up in the shop (L.A. and N.Y.C. here I come).

All in all, despite all the work and the looming due dates, I am happy with the way everything is falling into place these last two semesters. I just hope that I can keep up with all the work and try and get more sleep because all this staying up is not helping my health or my weight :-P. Okie dokie, enough writing for now, I need to relax before my next class.

Adios
