Getting closer to one of the big shoots.

We are down to the last couple days and there is quite a bit riding on the big shoot that day for sure. It is basically the last big thing I will be involved with during my schooling career(assuming I don't pursue any further education) and it would really be nice for it to be a high-quality piece. It should be a fun experience in any case!

I really need my naps.

I mostly say this now because I had a semi-profound thought sometime in the middle of the day today that I wanted to write about and now I can't remember it. I even screamed it in a weird voice in an attempt to create a more easily recalled memory but it apparently didn't work. And now, when I try to think back on anything interesting I might have thought about during the day, I just come up blank... and a little annoyed at myself because it is probably mostly difficult to recall right now because of my self-imposed sleep deprivation. Whoops! Ha.

An actual holiday off.

Not as if it hasn't been happening much lately(since it certainly has been) but I am still in the mode of appreciating it quite a bit. Today was no exception since I got to go hang with a bunch of cool people in the process. I might have been smarter to do some homework but I think the break could have been more productive for my future plans since my mental strength was highly renewed because of it... though, the clunkiness of that last sentence my make it seem otherwise. Ha.

A big week ahead.

This should be a fairly eventful week, between work, school, and play, with lots of memorable happenings all the way through to Sunday. I am glad it starts with a holiday break tomorrow, too, since the rest might become a challenge to manage as it is. It is an exciting thing to anticipate in any case.

Small steps closer to something.

Whether it was work, school, play, or girl related, I felt like at least a little progress was made in each area today. I have a good deal of things to do in order to really feel like progress actually is being made on any one of those particular topics, though, so I shouldn't float my own boat too soon. Ha.

Rockin' the internship road.

I have a lot of work ahead of me in order to secure a suitable internship for my program during the upcoming term... however, I am feeling much closer now than I did even yesterday. I had some good collaborative sessions with my advisor folks at the school. Things seem very promising.

Beyond all that, I didn't get nearly enough sleep but I still had a fun day with fun people when the fun times rolled around. The radness of my friends makes me feel quite pleased about life. Ha.

Instructive disappointment.

I had a rough go at my basketball game tonight. There wasn't anything dramatic that happened, no event in particular which triggered things in a way that I can pinpoint it, but I certainly didn't feel like myself. I normally push my challenges aside in favor of the optimistic mentality... I'm not sure what I skipped out on today. No worries, though, as I am thankful to recognize that piece of my humanity without letting it break me down. Even our strongest traits are still flawed and that's okay.
