bare_bear | Life, the Universe, and Everything. Well, the first one, anyways.

So last week was an absolute bust for my thesis, but pretty good for sewing and my suddenly present social life. Last Wednesday, I had both a date and a Tiki party to attend (for which I sewed myself a dress), both of which were lots of fun. Mmm...tiki drinks. I started another blouse earlier on in the week, although I was pretty much useless the rest of it. I did, however, manage to find myself a ballgown ($25 at Value Village WOOP!) for a friends birthday dinner for Saturday night, at which everyone showed up in black tie and ballgowns. We had a great time eating dinner at a nice restaurant downtown and playing an interesting card game called Munchkins at a house party while drinking far too much wine. AND THEN on Sunday, I went out for a BBQ at a friends cottage, where we alternated between relaxing on the dock and jumping in the lake. I haven't been that relaxed in years.

My poor liver.

All in all, this has been a great summer socially, although not so much so academically. And I'm alright with that. Oh, I'll stress out, I'm already stressing a bit. But today has been decently productive, and I feel like I now have a better handle of my project, which is a nice change. I have a lot to do, but it's doable. And if it takes a bit longer, well, I can live with that. Better to take a bit more time and enjoy my last few months as a student, than to lock myself in my basement and pound out the thesis, but in the end hate the experience. IMO, that is, and that's really all that counts.

And I guess my supervisors, who is paying for it. ;)
