So Close...

It's so close to the end of the semester... I can taste it... I will sleep deeply knowing this semester is over. Then I will blog more as well. Until then... I am exhausted both physically & mentally... Night night.

God bless.

Laundry Day

So today I have done somewhere between 8 to 10 loads of laundry. Reason being? I haven't done it in about three weeks... yeah. Even though it's just my husband and I, we have a lot of clothes. However I have been incredibly busy with school. I was lucky to even find time tonight to do it. I was going to wait until this weekend but not being able to move around comfortably in my own bedroom is not something I love. So I finally pulled all the laundry into the living room and separated it and washed it! Hooray for me.

As for school I am becoming more and more stressed out. The end of the semester is in two weeks. Finals are a week from Thursday. How am I staying so calm and collected? Laundry. And the occasional back rub from the hubby. I love him for that by the way. Now tomorrow I will be making chili and tonight we ate extreme hashbrowns. Delicious. Otherwise I am creating some pretty neat looking designs for my classes. I am looking forward to the end of the semester while also dreading it. I have no idea if I will survive it or not. I really truly hope so.

I do believe my laundry should be done soon. Otherwise I might just ask Cliff to stay awake and get it... I am so exhausted. Yeah... I'll see if he can do that for me. Night night, everyone.

God Bless.

Some Thoughts...

School for me has become incredibly stressful. I'm not 100% why either. I love my classes and I try to work hard in all of them. However, I still somehow seem to become incredibly stressed out. I sit here trying to figure it out and I can't seem to think of anything. I have become very down on myself lately because I don't think I'm creative enough anymore. I see all these awesome designs other people come up with and then I look at mine and wonder what I was thinking. I love scrapbooking and am even making my niece and nephew their own Christmas presents. I love doing things like that but when it comes to applying my own creative touch to my designs I just can't seem to do it.

There was one design I came up with last semester that  I looked at as a scrapbook page and it came out looking really good. However, it seems that this semester it just isn't hitting me like that. I look at things and wonder what would I like to see in my design? But we're taught that we have to look at it like how the consumer would want it and I am stumped. How am I supposed to know what people like? Everyone has different opinions on different things so how am I supposed to please them all? But I can't please them all. So then do I fail as a designer?

Of course not! Everyone can't be happy because everyone will always find a problem with something. Someone will be offended by something. So when I get out into industry, I will try my best to please the majority. As of right now though, I need to design stuff the way I like it, not what I think will make everyone else happy.

I still thank God that I even have the opportunity to go to school and get an education. Thank you, God.

Remember to be thankful. God Bless.
