Currently, I'm pulling an all-nighter. Nothing new or unusual.
Drawing for Design is the bane of my design existence. I hate this class with every fiber of my being. With each passing project, the only thought going through my head at 4 am is if SCAD wasn't making me take this stupid shit, I could be sleeping. Healthy, normal, natural: sleeping, instead of drawing these stupid god damn perfect, even lines on god damn perfect, white paper. It doesn't help much that I go straight from class to work until midnight on zero hours of sleep.
I knew this year was going to be tough. I push myself to get the most hours at work, the hardest professors, the best grades (Dean's List for a third time would be stellar), and somewhere in the middle of all that, I go insane while I try and keep it all together.
But the end of tomorrow, that is what will make life worth living. Tomorrow night the bests get here and then bright and early Friday morning we all pile into our vehicles and drive up to Asheville, NC for a weekend of mountains, photoshoots, fancy estates, cookouts, and fall love. I've been counting down the days for three months.
Other than that, life has been as expected. Barnes has been typical Barnes, with customers as batshit as ever and employees revolting against the camera systems my manager now watches from home. Boys have been typical boys, prying their way in and leaving wreckage behind. Friends have been amazing, with movie nights, late night conversations, and pumpkin pie making. Classes have been exactly what I predicted for junior year, stressful and generally Hell on Earth. But this is it, my life, and though I seem to be living it on fast forward, I'm collecting a million good hearts and memories along the way.
p.s. I was recently featured on Explore on Flickr! I'm thrilled.
