I am on holiday :-)

Yes it's true I am on holiday but it took me up to now to realise it. Is this never happened to you before, that you are so busy that you don't even see the holidays coming ???!!
Well hummm for me this is the 2nd time. There is something wrong with me.
I slept until 9 am not bad not bad. I have downloaded blogger app so I can write more spontaneous post on the go like this one. And I just realised that there is some actions going on, on the rooftop of the building in front of my house .... they are recording a movie. And I have been watching them in my best night gown outfit (means my ideous red pyjama) for a good 10 min .....ouuuuucccchhhh I hope I am not appearing in the camera spot :$

YOLO (You Only Live Once) !!

So What's up folks?! How have been your beginning of the year so far ?


Mine, I can say, it has been quite busy and strange. I have been having mixed feelings, excitement, frustration and surely exhaustion.

First, I am still juggling work and school classes, but from a different perspective. I started working from home last month. It is quite a change. I still need to adjust myself but I quite like the fact that I don't have people watching over my shoulders every 5 seconds to see what I am doing. It doesn't mean that I don't work..I do work, I actually work that fast that sometimes, I don't have anything else to do, so after looking for an hour another activity, I end up doing stuffs for the master. So it is quite good.

On the other hand, how is the master going?

Ummmm !! I start feeling a little disapointed by the lack of organisation of the whole course and the poor consistency of some of the classes we have to follow this trimester. It is quite frustrating as we tried to flag that up to the Course Coordinator, but it seems that they believe this is fine...Talking to a dead wall here :-S
Never mind, I believe that if they can't solve it out (or refuse to do so) then I will just take whatever I can from the class, learn whatever I can and hopefully get the Degree at the end.
Talking about the Degree, we finally got the dates of our last assignment/exam/presentation...or call it like you want and it will be right in a middle of July. So I am not looking forward to May and June as I will probably be working like crazy to get the project finished and dusted. Yes....long hours of work coming !!
But we do say "YOLO !! You Only Live Once "  (like my sister Le Blabla de Salsita told me the other day on whatsapp), so no regret on anything I have done so far, even if I feel very tired and quite exhausted right now (awake since 6 am). I am convinced that I am learning from every steps I have been taking and this is life: it is not meant to be easy.
So far, I have been doing quite a lot of work which I never thought I could be able to do and which I can be proud of. I have learned to use Illustrator, some parts of Photoshop, I have drawn my first digital mini-collection, and I started to go through the fundamental structure of a business....You may judge from yourself here.

I am currently working on setting up my brand/business model, and that will probably be my next post, but for now, please leave me a comment, tell me anything my work makes you think of.

Ciao.
