Sep. 23rd, 2015 03:21 pmI've been scarce since Costume College. At first it was because of the death in my family. When things are not right in my world I become a recluse. It was weird the things that would upset me, but our relationship wasn't normal so its not to surprising. My hubby is such a trooper. I was in my depressed and angry mode and he would get lashed out on. But whenever he would ask me what was wrong I couldn't give him a specific reason. It was a case of the blahs.
Then I started school again. Last semester until I can finally apply for the nursing program! Its a little harder than I expected it to be. It's not overwhelmingly hard but harder than I expected. American Sign Language (ASL) 2 is much harder than ASL 1 was. Its no longer just memorizing signs. Its understanding sentence context and what-not. I think of it like ASL 1 being 1st-2nd grade level whereas ASL 2 is middle school. Microbiology is exactly what I expected. I need to dedicate more time to studing which I didn't do enough of this first test. But that was because I am sick, (going on 2 weeks and probably pneumonia). So I think I lost an A on the first test but I am confident I passed. I just need to knock the rest out of the park. My first interpretering class is online. I hate online classes. Like to my core. Not hard but time consuming. I just need to keep on top of it, which again being sick made me fall behind so I now I am slightly panicing. And then my Photography class. So far that has been a delight! Its not as easy as I thought it would be. Ampertures and shutter speeds and whatnot. ???????? I am such a point and shoot. But it has been fun. This is the first photo I processed from taking it to developing the film, to test strips for how long to expose things to the light, to a contact sheet and then this photo. One hour developing, HA! This is 6 hours worth of work.

I know I have a long way to go, especially since this first roll I didn't understand the light meter AT ALL. But I am proud of my first photo baby. It helps that its of a flag. :)
In the sewing world.... I haven't been doing much. I made myself a fun little cirlce skirt out of Wearing History's fabric. I love it and got TONS of compiments. I have a hard time making flattering skirts for myself so I am happy with how it came out. It does try and creep up which makes me look like I have no waist which is NOT flattering. So I need to fix that somehow. Fit my waistband better somehow? I'll figure it out.... hopefully.

I think I have caught up up on the state of me. Mentally doing better. Physically tired of being sick but I think I am finally on the mend. Busy with school. Itching to craft.
And for the meme. I'll hide mine because I am so behind the game. But I must say I LOVE reading all of yours. I loved the meme stage of LJ. Its bits of info that may never come up otherwise.
