in need of coffee

I need some kind of motivation to make me finish my paper. The ice cream cone I'm eating just isn't cutting it. I am so mentally and physically exhausted its completely unhealthy. And I'm listening to the Jojo pandora station and they only play four of her songs and they're not the ones I want to hear. See what this class is doing to me? Anyway, I found a lot more cool information I just don't know how to incorperate it into my paper at the moment. Basically I just need to add about 25 more paragraphs to the 9 I have at the moment. I don't know if I have a burn in my mouth or if one of my wisdom teeth is coming in. Sorry I just noticed that. But yeah, I am the definition of tired and stressed out. And the result of an awful dance practice. I guess I should stop procrastinating and get to my paper considering I have another dance class in 45 minutes.

you go glen coco

Shout out to Ally Booth for getting a mentor! www.allyboothseniorproject.blogspot.com <<check it out

not happening.

There is no way I am going to be able to get 8 pages by friday. I barely get to spend more than 8 hours at my house every day...including the time i sleep. And when I say I won't be able to do it, it really means that I'm going to complain to everyone then sacrafice a night of sleep so I can finish after work. I need to do way more research, and a million other things. My paper is on Haute Couture. Meaning the history of it, how they market their clothing, and who actually wears it. That is it. I don't think that I have to say why I am interested in it. No one cares why, and its a research paper, not the opinion of a girl who has no idea what shes talking about in the first place. I'd rather just be able to do this at my own pace rather than having somebody stand over me and tell me to type then proceed to tell me what my papers on and ask me the same question over and over again..even though I already answered it. Okay so basically, this sucks and I'm gonna go finish my paper.

plastic sleeves will be the death of me

I just have to vent about this real quick. I HATE plastic sleeves. First, it took me like 20 minutes to get them in my binder. They were sliding around and they just would not go in. So finally they're all in, I feel like a million bucks because I'm finally done. Nope. I go to put in my papers. They're ALL going different ways. At that point, I thought I was going to lose it. Plastic sleeves, were going to be the death of me.

I'm a boss

Mentor Breakfast

I'm excited for the mentor breakfast even though my mentor can't go. I just want to get out of class and eat food. I don't even think my parents can go. Its fine though I'll just have someone pretend to be my mom, then they get to eat food too. It will be a good time.

Product

This whole clothing line idea is starting to become less and less realistic. I can not sew. And printing things onto shirts just isn't that cool. I don't know what I'd do for a product though. Maybe I'm jsut doubting myself right now and maybe I can, who knows. What if no one buys it and i just throw down money to make some product then I dont make anything back, it would be pointless.

Paper

I found a lot more sources for my paper. I think i twill be easier to start to get more things written down. With all of this new information it shouldn't be that hard to get at least 8 pages, but I want to have ten just because I can.

update

So I have all of my mentor papers in, now I just have to wait for them to clear, then I can start my hours. As for the paper, the second draft is due Friday and my first draft...well, I took the them VERY literal. I do not think there is even propor grammar. Also, I need to have many many more pages. At the moment my paper is three pages long with poor research and no citations. By Friday, I need eight to ten pages of quality research and at least fifteen sources and lots of citations. To say the least, I am screwed. Well, gotta get going on that paper..

I kind of want to change my research topic, but I don't know what. My senior project is a hot mess right now and I just want it to take off so I can feel more motivated. Cost analysis would be interesting to write about but I can't picture myself writing 10 pages on why Lucky Brand Jeans cost more than American Eagle jeans. And half way through writing this I talked to Mrs. Degelder and I think its going to change to the target audience for designer clothing. For example, in a Good Housekeeping magazine you'd see advertisements for Levi's or something that everyday people actually wear. In Vogue there's pages upon pages of advertisements. All of those ads are Alexander McQueen claw heels and purple fur jackets, and really, who wears that besides Lady Gaga? I mean, I would if that was accepted here at Plymouth South High School, but it's just not. For now, the craziest I go is some polka-dot printed pants. So I can see myself writing about this easily. Maybe now I'll actually start writing it. Or even researching it.

Clothing Line

Just throwing out some ideas on a clothing line. I can't really sew but I was thinking of screen printing something cute onto vintage looking t-shirts. Not those ones that go up to your neck and feel like sandpaper, but the thin, soft, flowy ones. I might even design a fabric on spoonflower.com to make it my own. I can't really think of a name but I want it to have a story behind it. I also want to make scarves. Like the Alexander Mcqueen skull scarves or something just without skulls and with my logo or whatever else I put on it. I think I have time to think this through though. I just want to see other people wearing it, in my school though, nothing too big. Maybe I'll put it on pinterest too, then more people will see it.

#researchpaper

I haven't started my paper but, I know what I'm doing it on. It's gonna be on cost analysis. I'm afraid that its going to be more like a compare and contrast rather than a research paper. I also need to change my thesis statement but I'll have Mr. Lippa help me with that because he's good at that stuff. My paper will figure out why some things cost so much while other things are not nearly as expensive.

Mentor Update

I found a mentor!! Her name is Alyssa Savage, and she works for a company called intermix. Before, she worked for Betsey Johnson. I am really excited to start working with her. This will really help me decide if the fashion industry is something I want to go into. I'm going to meet with her soon and get started on our hours.

Just Kidding..

I decided to change my topic from Human Trafficking to fashion. I feel that it would be better for me because it is something I have not done before. I have so many ideas for a product but I think I am going to create a clothing line. Maybe even donating the proceeds to Human Trafficking that way it ties in with what I originally planned to do. I want to come up with my own logo and put it on all of the clothes.
