Fast moving, high pressure, get it done yesterday

Actually, it's more like falling asleep at 4 AM working on a project then waking up at 6 AM knowing I'm 2 hours deeper in shit. Every night. Somehow this stress is what motivates and pushes me. Yes..despite this, I still manage to squeeze in the time to do a full face of makeup and avoid throwing on some sweats. I am a perfectionist when it comes to two things in particular: my appearance and design. Not implying that either of these things are perfect, but I work at it the best I can with what I have.

Thankfully, it's a week from reading week so most of the projects I've started this semester are in it's final stages to be submitted. The beginning is always the hardest, so once I get over the research and concept-thinking hump, it's just a matter of executing and perfecting the formal qualities.

I don't know what's worst...To have shit work knowing you still have room to improve or mediocre work and a passive critique. I fear nothing more than the latter...

In other news, after some very long time I've finally found a laptop case semi-similar to the Incase nylon carry bag that is over $70 with tax. I'm really happy with the purchase from MEC instead, because it fits my 13in macbook pro really snug and perfectly. It also has some room for a folder so I'd definitely recommend it. Buy it here from MEC for $26.

If anyone knows how I can adjust the column width to the text in my post, please please please let me know. edit: i'd like to adjust the column width of the text in each post, not the entire blog.

  1. Cute sweater! Where's it from? You should put outfit details at the bottommmm : ) I'm always a fan of this colour palette.

    P.S. Not sure if this link will help you: http://blogger-templates-directory.blogspot.com/2004/09/fixed-width-webpage-hack-for-blog.html

  2. the sweater looks so warm and comfrotable. i'd love to snuggle in it

    to change the column width (and if you're using the new blogger interface), go to template > customise > adjust widths > and change the widths where it says entire blog
    hope that helped!

  12. I like the knits with the knee highs :) Have you tried going to the Template designer on blogger and then adjusting the width of your sidebar? If you reduce the width of the sidebar the text portion of your main post will increase accordingly so you don't have to alter the width of the entire page.
