So Close Yet...

Suddenly, there's only a month left of the semester. There seems to be so much left to do in so little time. Yep, definitely feeling the pressure.


The main culprit of stress is, of course, school.

Major project: When you consider starting from scratch vs. working from someone else's CSS/code, you'd -usually- choose the former because everyone knows that working from someone else's just means you're setting yourself up for hell... but after seeing how badly Moodle's originally coded, working for someone else's is actually the lesser evil. :|

Grad show: Okay, so now we have the overall theme established BUT we lack the finalized visual theme. The whole class is still unable to move forward without at least a graphic standards manual. Mere weeks away from the campaign launch... oh *insert headdesk*

Mentorship: Oh yeah, the interview was a success. Ended up being interviewed by the senior designers of both sides of the company (the digital and the print) and the art director (aka. the mentor). Scary as hell experience but it worked out at the end. The first day was the 4th (Thurs) and I've been going in Thursdays and Fridays, whenever possible. The first few days were pretty exciting and interesting, though the excitement started to die down when I noticed they began to ran out of things for me to do. Meetings, researching to compile a marketing matrix, scrapbook making (lol!gluing)... The non-disclosure agreement aside, the meetings they brought me into were very insightful and interesting. More than once was I invited to join in on their meetings with their client. TENSE.

A few days back, my mom suddenly called me in the middle of the day and told me about this awesome Las Vegas deal. The next thing I know, I'm going to Las Vegas in late April. Plane, hotel, shows are booked. I am going. Yep. No joke. Even though I haven't fully absorbed this fact yet either.

Fortunately I remembered that my passport is expiring in late April as well, so it's in the process of renewal. BUT. The days following, fellow classmate informs me of her spur of the moment plan to go to Sakuracon with her friends. No big deal for me at first since I supposedly boycotted Sakuracon since my last visit. Did some research afterwards to find that NOIZI ITO, DJ SHARPNEL, HandMC (side note: and Luffy's seiyuu, Tanaka Mayumi) ARE GOING TO BE THERE. Felt like I shot myself in the foot. It's tempting but there's still some variables... like my passport? money? transportation? MY BIRTHDAY WEEKEND? H8 U SCON. DX

allergies, go away.
