I am a Student.

As a student at Marietta College, I must finish a capstone. Being an English and Art major, naturally I must do two. Fear not, this blog only involves my complicated thought process of the latter. My English capstone is too much of a mystery to even think about...

Next Step...

All right, so I've hit a few bumps that I have to figure out before I can continue working on the actual project. If I want to put in the actual words from the writer's works, I have to find a way to transfer the words onto the thermal paper, or use a different paper. My ear is that it will take away from the texture if I use a different paper, but it might also add to the piece, and I can hold the words on better by using a stronger adhesive like acrylic medium.

That point aside, I also have to do a lot of research on the people to figure out the information that I want to put beside the pieces. I also need to find things I wold want the QR code to go to, but first have to learn about doing that as well.

I've been extremely stressed since coming back from Fall Break, and I can't seem to find a moment of peace. This project, with all the frustration I've been having hasn't helped. I've had many projects I'm working on, including my English capstone I'm doing right now, and extra curricular activities which are eating up any free time I would hope to acquire. By the time the weekend rears its gracious head, I'm exhausted, and until then, I've been battling the stress beast, with my productivity sword getting heavier in my hands with every attack.

I keep hoping that the next week will be easier, but I can't be sure. I've been getting plenty of sleep, but it's not good sleep so therefore it does nothing for me. I'd stay up and work on my project if I could, but I seem to drag myself into bed every night. Then to add onto all of this, I'm figuring out my schedule for my next and final semester, running into more road blocks and obstacles than is necessary. My head hurts from even thinking of how much work it is just to schedule the classes, let alone actually taking them next semester.

Hopefully in the end, all will go well, but until then, my brain will be about to explode.
