WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH

When the going gets tough, the tough wear leather pants. 
Not gonna lie guys, but this month has been super hectic. I've always been the kind of person to spread myself thin, to take on too many things, perhaps too many to handle. I think it's because I'm the ambitious type, with the "I can do this!" kind of mentality. For as long as I can remember, that's how I've always gone about it--juggle a million things at once, stress out about everything, put things off, then at the last minute work super hard and surprise everyone (even myself) with the work I produce. Somehow, beneath the turmoil and stress, things always worked out, and they worked out for the better. I guess that, like a lump of coal, if you put me under enough pressure, I will eventually turn into a diamond. Or a cubic zirconia, whatever.
There is also a long story of exactly why I'm stressed out, but if you just read the bolded italicized letters, that will summarize it real quick: my Ryerson entrance portfolio along with my photography assignments at school (which aren't due until February) are due in 18 days!!! December 22 is my absolute last day at school (where I do all my work) before the holidays (which I fully intend to work two retail jobs simultaneously BTW) and if I manage to make it through Boxing Day alive, I will be heading to the Philippines for a three week trip in January! (hence the shortened deadlines!)
Yep, that is all. I'm going to try to fit in a few hours of sleep now, night night!

i find it that we usually get more things done when under pressure. if i have too much time on my hands I always put projects off til last minute. not the greatest habit but so hard to shake off.

also Über jealous you'll be going to the p.i. I've never been! such a disgrace to my race

awesome pants, btw!
