SO I sent off my wedding invitations. By advice from the soon to be in-laws I just popped a stamp on them and sent them off in the mail.
I was at a friends house and notice the recently arrived invitation on the counter. It had a stamp on it that declared the thing 23 cents short in postage. I appologized to my friends and although I have been told by a number of other people that they've recieved my invite, no one has said anything to me about the postage thing. I feel horrible that people may have to pay for my invitation. I don't know what to do.. I can't recall them. I suppose I make some sort of formal apology at the wedding.

I hate wedding planning. Well maybe not hate, annoyance and frustration are key feelings. But admist all the stress, I think that the Boy is worth it. There have been some really fun moments. Some really dissapointing moments and I am really angry with some people this whole thing has put me in conflict with. I keep telling myself that all I have to do is make it to the wedding and then I get rewarded with a vacation in Italy. *deep breathe*
School is really alot this time. I have taken on a bit too much but I have passed the very solid moment where I can no longer drop classes and so I am just going to get through it. I really have no other choice.
My Rendering class at the moment is the most challenging. I am incredibally self critical, expecially of my own artwork. This class is requiring me to crank out peices in all sorts of mediums. I understand the reasoning. I need to get stuff on paper, make mistakes, learn how to train my hands to create what I see in my head. This requires hours of practice, pages of images where the lines don't quite work. I hate making the mistakes. I want the lines to be in the perfect place everytime I lay them down. I have such an issue with failure right now that I am having a hard time starting. If I will just fail, I don't even want to do it. I have twenty gesture drawings, 15 contour, and five tonal peices due next thursday. I have finished 6 of the gestures, 2 contours and 1 tonal. My every waking breathe should be at my drawing table. I have been awake since six, drank three cups of coffee, washed dishes, read some poetry, but I haven't picked up a peice of charcol. My fiancee has sat with me for a couple hour the other night trying to relieve my worries. Sudden inspiration should come soon, I hope. Or at least fear of nor turning in anything will strike me at midnight wednesday and I will stay up all night producing sheet after sheet of half assed productions that will at least be something. off to the drawing table.

I haven't updated in a while because my computer chose the week before school started to die. The problem has to do with the power supply and I think I need a new network card. I, however am not very good with fixing my computer. My boy, who can fix my computer is currently working two jobs as we are trying to get him moved into the new apartment, which by the way stil does not have a Kitchen sink or countertop yet. GRRRR the landlord didn't even offer any compensation. He asked for his money and told us that his brother should finish the counter top in a week or so. That "week or so" should have been last friday.
