The 13th hour
Yes, folks, I've done it! I ACTUALLY spent 13 hours in the costume shop today without leaving the building for anything. All I did was pattern...the WHOLE day. And I managed to listen to all of Evita, Les Mis, Pippin, the Beatles Anthology 2, and a quite a few other musical gems.
What my cats are doing right now:
Stanzi is sleeping on my bed next to my roommate who has also passed out there.
Pandora is nowhere in sight, although she was just sleeping on my floor a minute ago.
I still have two papers to write and an entire portfolio to make...plus, I have to drape sleeves, a collar, and one other piece of the train tomorrow, as well as CUT EVERYTHING OUT AND SEW IT ALL TOGETHER!!!!
I'm going to die. I'm going in tomorrow at noon...I'm going to get up early before that and work on the other stuff...and will probably not sleep tomorrow night. Then I'll work monday and probably pass out. Then Alex and I are going to go drunk bowling. Sounds good to me. Last night he came into work and Barbara Reid was there (he's known her longer than I have). She and her male companion were in my section and I told Alex they were there and he went and sat and talked to them while I was taking care of my other new tables. When I finally came up, he put his arm around me knees and pulled me close and said "I am in love with this girl." I said "First I've heard of it!" He also asked me to his brother's party last night, but I couldn't. I had to go in to the shop this morning early. I wanted to be there by nine, but I didn't make it until ten.
I will never be a draper.
Everyone else's projects were so much EASIER than mine!!! These people are grad students who've worked in shops before much more than I have...they've draped before! And they all (except for Sheila, whose dress was incredibly hard and turned out fabulously) picked EASY dresses to drape. Mine has seams everywhere and flounces up the wazoo and a train and an overskirt with even horizontal pleats. Ugh.
My eyes are bloodshot, I ate crappy food today, and I didn't get to go to any of the three parties I was invited to this weekend. Maggie's party was tonight..Nick invited me to his cousin's in NE...
My friend Ryan finally called me back a week after he was supposed to have called me to confirm whether or not we were going shopping last weekend. I called him three times this week and he never called me back. PET PEEVE! I HATE it when people do that.
Hey, anyone up for a night out on Wednesday? I know it's a work night for some, but I have to work Th-Sat this weekend, so there'll be no going out until really late for me those nights, and I need as much fun in my diet as I can get before I go home for Christmas. I don't get New Years because I'll be in Hudson watching my cousin get married...and then I'll get really drunk, because we'll all be in a hotel and I won't have to drive home!
Well, off to sleep...I have plenty to do tomorrow.
Why does everyone think I've graduated? Even if I was graduating, I'd still have finals right now...who says those go away?
