Motivate Me - April 20, 2004

i feel as though an update is in order. so, what's new?

well, issac's moved back in with us. he was living out in hillsboro, but he and another guy were supporting themselves and two other people. eventually, all the expenses got to be too much and they had to leave. so far, it's not been bad having him back. i'd like to think we've both grown since he was last here.

it was issac's birthday yesterday and i pretty much missed it because i had intro to studio. that class is getting interesting and quite busy now. yesterday, we had to trade sketches of our designs and start patternmaking. each person met with a total of four people; two that are patterning their designs and two whose designs they're patterning. it's kinda crazy. all the skills i've just learned are being put to use. it's actually pretty exciting.

what else is new? i've been hearing that i'm getting snarky from aub. i can't remember exactly what it was i said that caused her to make that remark. it's very likely. issac said something along those lines as well. maybe i'm just getting jaded and emotionless like the rest of the women in this family. is it inevitable? maybe emotionless is inaccurate, but at least thick-skinned.

i know that i'm following in the footsteps of my grandmother in many areas. i bet i would have gotten along with her famously now, though i don't know if i'd become the same kind of person had she lived. hard to say, really. she was stern, matter-of-fact, sometimes a little sadistic, and argumentative, but at the same time, very fun and silly. she also had great style. when she went out, she dressed well. she dyed her hair and did her nails. i remember she had dozens of polish colors i used to look through. i kind of miss her now; i think we could use her around right now to push us and motivate us.

funny how i get going and then all kinds of things spill out.

speaking of motivation, i've made myself a schedule for the week. i need to manage my time better and i'm making an effort. i feel like i need to make something more of my life. sometimes, i feel like there's just not enough time in the day to do all that i want to do. writing it out on paper makes it seem like there just might be.
