moving along

Thankfully, things are moving along this week and I officially have only one week left until freedom. I had my breakdown last week, I moved forward and I'm finally feeling like I've gotten things done. Earlier this week it felt like I worked, and worked and worked and worked. and then I ate something if I remembered to, and worked more after that. No time for sleep. And even on the nights I want to sleep, my mind is so active it won't let me. Last night was one of the worst bouts of insomnia I've had in awhile. I did so much work on so many different things yesterday alone, yet when I left the school at midnight with my work mounted for a morning critique, I felt like I'd barely made a dent in the massive load that has been weighing heavily upon my shoulders. But today, I kept on steady and got more done. Tomorrow will hopefully be similar.
On a truly positive note, I had my internship review with my creative director at redpepper last week and I am going to be able to stay on as an intern through the summer! He gave me a lot of positive feedback in terms of what he has seen in me and also a good number of things I should work on. I'm so grateful to keep this opportunity going, and I'm also looking forward to working there without so many classes. More time to learn about the working world, more chances to experience real life design and business problems and solutions. I'll have my one summer class and my internship, and hopefully a community ed class. I need a creative outlet that isn't connected to grades and they're offering some I'm really interested in taking. It'll be nice to get off the computer and just make things by hand. And hopefully, it will better my design work too!
As for now, I'm going to attempt to catch up on the sleep I've been missing for about a week now.
