Year 3, Week 3: August 3rd – 9th

My husband and I attended our 10th DragonCon over the weekend and it was a blast. However, despite taking various precautions I still managed to catch the con crud and have been sick with a cold all week. Boo!

I was so tired after getting out of classes Thursday that I went to my moms house in Jacksonville and napped for several hours before returning home to Anniston.

Friday-Sunday

I spent my weekend sick at home working on homework. I finally gave up on over-the-counter remedies and got some shots at the Doctors office on Sunday to help get on the mend. On Friday I was so tired and sore that instead of making myself something to eat I ordered delivery. Bad me!

I read She Kills Monsters for my Drama class and came up with some initial ideas for the belt buckle designs of the Narrator and Lilith (Demon Queen). I read this play last fall in my Sound Design class and loved it. I’m thrilled to get to design some 3d printed costume pieces for the Drama Department’s function this fall.

The bulk of my weekend was spent watching Premiere Pro tutorials on Lynda.com and learning about video editing. It’s super time consuming but I love it.
