Sunrise, Sunset

I witnessed both today. It's very disturbing how dark it is and how late the sun actually rises, even after day light savings ends. I don't think the sun peaked its head until almost 6:30. But it certainly got bright quickly when it did come up.

Thanks to the shenanegans and distraction provided by a fellow costume major, I made it through the night intact, though battle weary. It took a while for the effects of the midnight diner run to wear off. Diner food seemed like a good idea at the time...

David's class went well. Still think he's too linenant on my work. I know this project was well below par for me, yet I manage a high grade. I dispise the favoritism that seems to occur with certain professors. At least David gives honest feedback, regardless of the grade. Nine full color renderings for the first scene of Awake and Sing by Clifford Odets for next week. If I can finish reading the play tonight I'll be in a good spot. If I manage six hours of sleep all the better.

Third round of fitting with our actor palying a woman today. Without the aide of the shop supervisor. One of the new grad students is lacking in basic stitching abilites and it shows in the dress he tried today. It's frustrating to see a decent mock up of a garment progress into a trainwreck like that. Especailly with the shop supervisor's eagle eyes missing. His other items went well, but I've reached the point in the process when I begin to second guess everything and see the limitations of budget, time and expereince take their toll. But on the bright side, three dresses (two of them the wedding dresses) were cut today, the second major round of fitting sis just around the corner and only accessories (and a grey leather bomber jacket) need to be hunted down.

Things are looking up, as frustrating as life is. I'm sure the rest of the week will go swimmingly, until Sunday night when I find myself still painting in the office at five in the a.m. And I will be seeing two Moliere pieces nect Saturday. Which means I need to stay on top of thing for the rest of the week.
