The Hell-Project is OVER.
It is printed, all the extras are done, I will hand it over to my teacher after my class, and then I will go home and eat ramen.
And I just got 90% on a re-write of my mid-term exam for Production class. Life is good.
But honestly? Yesterday was hell.
From the time I went to school, I had this horrible clenching in my stomach. I'm surprised I didn't make myself sick. I went into my Web class and got my final project all set up without any problems, and was able to leave class an hour and a half early. So I was able to eat my dinner at my leisure and get a headstart on the final tweaking of my magazine. But through all of that I kept on thinking, "This cannot be this easy. Something has got to go wrong soon." It can't be healthy to be so worried that something's going to go wrong, but sometimes I can't help it. I'm a pessimist, through and through (and more than a little paranoid).
In some ways, though, yesterday was good. I actually talked to people; joked about how hellish this term was, bitched about how hellish this term was, even helped out a chick who was having trouble printing. Now, for those who don't know me, this is no big deal, but for me? I am not socially equipped to deal with people. People who do know me will be able to tell you this (especially Meg). I don't like to say I'm agoraphobic, but I am, and always will be, a potential hermit.
I didn't leave school until 11pm yesterday. Didn't get home until around 11.45. Didn't go to sleep until 1.15. Got up today at 6.55.
One way to know you're becoming an adult: everything starts to depend on numbers. The time of appointments, the carbs you consume, the countdown of days before you can go home. I am getting tired of everything being a countdown, or count-up.
So now what do I have to do before I go into sweet, sweet freedom? Let's see:
- Production Procedures: print off final project (due today, by 12.30)
- Corporate Identity: final tweaking to GSG, create PDFs (due tomorrow)
- Advanced Typography: final project, tweaking of previous projects (due Monday)
Typography will rule my life this weekend (or rather, my life after 5.30 Thursday). I am not sure if I am looking forward to this. But it's all over Monday, 10pm. I may or may not do a celebratory post before passing out...I will definitely do a celebratory post in between packing and cleaning on Tuesday, though.
So there we have it. My first post in what I hope will be a semi-serious blog. (or at least a step up from my livejournal accounts.) Not that livejournal is bad. Lots of writer's have livejournal as their main blog (it rather amuses me). But you know, every now and then I have the urge to actually write something semi-meaningful (was anything above meaningful? maybe I'm just nuts.).
(My inner voice: There's no "maybe" about it. You ARE nuts.)
