Where we are now

Finals were crazy. Super super easy. But each class had a project, an open ended project. Most of the people didn't know what to do. Not me man, all those assignments in art had me super prepared. The deadlines were obscure, and ended up being pushed up a week. Thankfully, I can always bounce back from sleep deprivation.

Works... uh. Well, I'm trained, finally. I get a lot of hours on my own. But I'm making a lot of mistakes. That part really sucks. Yesterday I didn't stretch a canvas tight enough, but couldn't because the paint was cracking. Then I cut this mat that didn't fit because the picture wasn't even to begin, and then it wouldn't fit in the frame... so I just taped it. With framers masking tape. And I didn't even get the lady's number or name, I just said to come back in 3 days. Then 2 other mats were multi-openings, that I put as in house, because I thought we did those type, but no. So, I have to cut them, "when I get time". Then, because I got a lot done after 9pm, I was going to call them later, but I lost track of who I needed to call to pick up their finished piece.
That was just in 2 days. The holidays are too much. We're trying to get all these orders done, and half of us are new and the other half can't keep track of us.

I'm hoping while on holiday, I'll be free to do my bigger art projects. I hope I hope I hope.
