It's really hard to prioritize all the things that need to get done this week. Though, it is my fault for letting things build up and become slightly overwhelming. Christ.

My problem is that I can find justification for all of my actions: Shopping is market research for upcoming projects; Socializing with friends at bars/shows is actually a part of my schmoozing, getting-connections scheme that will help promote my art; Drinking beer is good for you. I always manage to find a reason for everything so it doesn't seem like I'm procrastinating, but really--who am I kidding? I'm very good at avoidance when I want to be.

I have FIVE handbags to make for Thursday. I printed the canvas yesterday but everything still needs to be washed and some of it needs to be overprinted in white. I don't have near enough time to do all of this, especially since I haven't designed the bags yet other than having a rough, sketchy idea. I'm not even going to think about the paper I have to write and the number of other things that are due within the coming weeks.

As much as I want to scream and run away scared, I know that beyond my general anxiety, I really love what I do and wouldn't give it up. I think it's just a product of my generation to be lazy.

Yea. Let's just blame it on that.

(FYI: I'm a Fibre and Textiles major at an art college. I don't study fashion design (you've gotta be cut-throat and go to a different school to do that) but I do study Fine Art (wtf that means). I'm interested in textile design (hand transfer printing, screenprinting), weaving, quilting/cloth construction, and some amount of sculpture. Yea. I just thought I'd say that now so ya'll know.)
