It´s Sunday morning and I am listening to my album of the day (Grapes Upon the Vine - TV Girl), and it has been a LONG week. However, I don't feel drained like I usually do. I used to always be super introverted and get super scared of getting myself into new situations, meeting new people, learning new things etc., I know where it comes from but I'm unpacking that in therapy next week.. as a neurodivergent (and generally super sensitive) person, I always used to get very overwhelmed and frustrated on the weekends after long weeks, even if I had an amazing time, things seemed to always be moving too fast for me. Now, I somehow find myself in a position of being even more excited for next week and still able to do fun activities on the weekend - I don't know how many people reading can relate to this but for me, that is a huge development.
I spent a loooooot of time in the screen printing workshop during the past week. I would love to show you everything, but the first project is a birthday present for a friend that's probably reading, so I will be sharing once I give it to them. But on Wednesday (I think??) I made some posters because there was not much to do and I was alone in the office with only one of my coworkers X)

I made a quite big batch of posters to give to friends as well, and I think screen printing might be my new obsession. It is quite a lengthy process but such a fun one, I rarely find myself drawn to such laborious art mediums. Then again, every art medium is laborious in its own way, I suppose.
I also went to a concert hosted by one of my work´s locations on Thursday and had a blast, I did help set up and everything, obviously, so I got to count it as work time as well. Then on Friday, the same location was hosting a few workshops, one of them being collaging and making art with old pictures and POSCA markers, which was also absolutely amazing. I think I made a really good choice with where to do my internship!!
Halloween being so soon kind of shocked me as it does every year, I could have seen that coming. I still haven't fully decided what to be but I'm in between Sally Bowles and a roadkill deer at the moment. Thing is, both of those are kind of time-consuming costumes because they would both require me to go thrifting and DIY a lot, which I don't really have the time for... but I don't have any plans yet, so we shall see what I end up doing. I am going to see Rocky Horror Picture Show on the first with my friend, so I am ABSOLUTELY gonna be dressing up ( + forcing him to do the same!!!).
I feel kind of creatively blocked at the moment, but I guess that's subjective because I'm already being so creative at school and work every day. I do hope I get to a point where I can have my own creative projects outside of that space soon, but I guess there's no rush. I did start relearning Clair de Lune again though, so I might not be writing but at least I'm still playing a lot of music. I also taught myself a few covers on the guitar yesterday and I'm taking my singing lessons soooooo...
Now, I will be spending a few hours with my friend and telling her all about my recent adventures & side quests - it´s been way too long!!!!
Anyway, I'm gonna push through next week and then fall break is all mine!!! Though I have to do a lot of schoolwork in preparation for November, I think I still will have a good time - and I hope you do too!!
Give next week your all & I hope to see you in the next one X)

p.s., sorry this one turned out this short, I'm a busy woman!
