It's Mayfest today here on campus, meaning... no class! It is a much needed day off. Well, really there is still much, much to do, but it doesn't seem as pressing when you have a day to have a BBQ. I know, I'm at work right now, but usually I'm not done with class and work until six, and today I'm done at three! A three hour window of relaxation. It's the end of the semester so things are getting crazy and down to the wire. I feel like I'm on top of things this year though. I'm not too freaked out. I have one project due on Thursday that still needs a lot of work, but it can be done. I know I only freak myself out because I want it to be so good.
After that project I just have two more to do for my fibers class. And all the while I'm supposed to be etching my plates for intaglio. It's hard to multi-task all these things at once. I tend to follow one project at a time for a few days, then switch to another. I can't really get my head to focus in on one well when I am thinking about another too. But it's all about time management. As long as you keep everything in mind, it can usually work out. I almost forgot to write a paper for today. I was working so intensely on my book, I completely forgot until late last night. It's just a 2-3 page reaction paper to a video we watched so it wasn't a big deal. But jeez, I need to look at my planner more often. That's important: GET a Planner and READ it! I write things down, but don't read it.
