New Quarter Starts Tomorrow!

Last quarter did not end well for me. I didn't meet the goals, I didn't get the grades, and I ended my last class feeling disappointed with myself and kind of lost.
I have never really been good at anything, like ever, and since starting at this school I have had a lot of people congratulate me on finally finding something I'm good at, so when I started to struggle and find the work more and more difficult on the technical side I started to wonder if I was really cut out, then I started to struggle on the construction side and really question my own ability to do anything really. Just another thing I was bad at, joining the long list of almost every other talent that exists.

The dress that got me down.


I started to think of other things I could do instead(spoiler alert: I'm trained for nothing), I wanted to stop wasting my Mum's money on something I had no hope in.
Just as I was about to climb in bed to feel sorry for myself while eating chocolate like the world lamest chick flick ever, I decided to stop being dramatic.
If I let a few bad classes get to me, then I really am not cut out to be in fashion.
There was only one thing to do: get up of my ass, get more positive, and work all my frustrations out on the next quarter.

This video is about a break up, but change the lyrics in your head to be about what I went through with my bad class:


So all I have been thinking about on break is ways to improve next quarter. Stay more organized so I don't spend anytime looking for anything, go into lab time on more Saturdays so I will always be ahead and if I mess up I have time to go back, and just to not let the little things get me down as I did this past quarter.

In my first quarter our teacher had us watch Unzipped, a documentary about Issac Mizrahi. It starts off with him getting a horrible review from his fashion show. No one liked it, most people said it was the beginning to the end of his fashion career. He gave himself the walk back to his studio to dwell on it and went right into planning his next show. You cant let defeat keep you down.
Unfortunately no videos have the beginning in it, however it is a fantastic movie, and I highly recommend it!


I let thing's like working with Illustrator, which I had never used before, really hold me back from getting work done and getting my creative best out. I waited until I had to go in on Saturdays before I put in extra time.
Now I'm not going to wake up tomorrow suddenly the best student ever, lazy habits are hard to break and demons are hard to get out of your head, but I sure as hell wont let what happened last quarter happen again.


Decided to put up my favorite boards of work to inspire myself to only turn in my best. there is more to be added like the one on the right.

My Happy Place

On Wednesday I took my niece to Disneyland. It was a perfect with perfect weather!

 So many characters were out, but they were not worth linning up for, we did meet Donald though.

Nothing beats walking down main street towards Sleeping Beauty's castle.

 The best thing about Disney is all the details, they are make it feel magical, everywhere you look there are tiny details that you sometimes miss if you don't pay attention.

 How cute is that gorgeous little girl!?

 She loved posing for photos all day!

 

We had a fabulous lunch at the Plaza Inn,


It was a great day, we went on 9 rides and rode the Little Mermaid twice.
Great day over all.

 See what I mean?



As you can see, a lot of fun, with ducks.

And Bethfest continues

 Bethfest continued last night at Holduvar, a cute club that used to be a university on Margit sziget.
It was an awesome night surrounded by people I love and people I don't know at all :P
 I like Dimas Blue Steel look in this picture.
Elen came with a to die for Michael Kors bag!
 At 3:30 am hamburgers are always a good idea.
Best present ever chocolates from Maxims, which is a French restaurant and it's featured in my favorite film Gigi!
