AH-HA!

YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!  DONE DONE DONE done done done done!!!!!

After two (or was it three?) weeks of sitting in a computer time warp, being cranky and going cross-eyed I have finally finished my business plan/summary thesis/ mentorship report thingy!  Wahhooo!

Ok ok, so it's not ENTIRELY done, but essentially is.  I just have to print out my intro & cash flow report, burn my power point onto 6 cds, photocopy my press from this year, and then make six copies of everything, and hand it in to Craiger tomorrow morning.

Lessons learned?  Maybe I should be a little less confident in my leave-it-till-the-last-minute-and-do-it-the-night-before-it'd-due-and-still-do-a-good-job abilities (apparently that left with my early twenties).  Also, it's generally a good idea to go over an assignment and get clarification early on, rather than emailing my prof every 2 hours the week something's due and then claiming my brain's about to explode.  Who knew?

At any rate, it's almost done.  Mechanical shark thingy, consider yourself slayed! Or slain? Slew?  (That little comment right there was a tipping off of my hat to anyone who read YESTERDAY'S post.  If you haven't, now you have to cause you're curiuos, sucka!)

One more raging cloud rhinocerous (yep, yesterday's post) left to go!  I've got basically 2 days to finish my last grad piece, find a bed frame for installation, and then get 'er into the gallery Wednesday.  So, I'm off to salute myself with a beer (better not forget to burn cds though) and then put a couple more hours into my grad piece, then off to bed, and tomorrow's another day.  It is, isn't it?

I'm a Crafts Person, and so I drink Craft Beer.  Thank you Picaroons for making such wonderful drinks!

Mason jars: not just for tea.



This beer is Man's Best Friend. Yes, yes it is.



My Least Favourite Part of the Process...

HOLY CROW!! So, one of the unfortunately necessary bits involved with wanting to be your own boss, and do art making?  Business planning and proposal/ summary writing... Boooo uurns!
I realize how important it is, but I also realize how cranky sitting in front of a computer for the last two weeks makes me.  And, I think those around me are realizing it too.. (sorry friends!)
So, I've been typing away in front of my computer and finally have my first draft business plan done (check), now today need to put together my first draft summary,  tomorrow's resume, the next day final drafts of both that need to be done for Friday.
Another little tip from me?  Maybe it's NOT the best idea to leave the most important projects of your school year until the last two weeks when you also have to finish up your grad pieces.  Just sayin'.

(Another way ppl can tell I'm doing paperwork type stuff?  My facebook and email responses come within seconds.  Looking for something, ANYTHING else to do much? Yeeeeees.)

Will post some pics of the stuff I've been doing in btwn writing `shortly, but gotta get back at the writing.

Side note: I'm a bit addicted to blogger stats, and have noticed there are a couple readers from across the waters! Hello to you in Singapore, Germany, and Russia who've checked this out. tres cool!
