Snow*Wench (Archive! S*W is no more!)

. . . and I have been found wanting.

How is that I am overwhelmingly happy and at the same time, wildly greedy? It is as if I sense the joy in pursuit and go chasing after every whiff of potential with arms flung wide. I love projects. I am a project.

My projects are all mine. I don’t consider the assignments or group work so synonymous with college “my projects”. I don’t love them. I may apply the same work ethic to them as I might to one of my projects, but they are not personal. My projects are adopted and live in the most treasured place imaginable – the mind.

I’m about to digress and ooze fangirl here. Seriously, the brain? (Or, if you prefer, the mind.) We all know how important it is, yet even the best of us treat it like its a high-functioning toilet sometimes. I try to remind myself of this every time I check my Facebook for the fifth time in an hour: is this really what you want to use your brain for? Wasting time, energy, and mental resources on whether or not your friend’s friend is having a good day?

This isn’t just because I’m the daughter of a neurologist  – I only wish that I’d learned this earlier. Yep, definitely new to accepting that many of the most important things in life are limited and must be respected accordingly.

I am becoming a lot more single-tasked and conservative with my investments. It has made my projects (so many!) much more manageable, though it may appear to be going slower than ever, I am actually making MORE headway because I am cutting out the unnecessary and spending less time stressing.

Today I did a little drawing for this site. . . and found that if I want to change the CSS, I have to pay $15. I’d rather move this site to my own domain then, but that is a BIG deal for me, but the fact I can’t change the CSS moves it up the the priority list.

The drawing itself – I’m especially happy with the face and the dress. I think I’ve improved a little since I last drew anything, which was as very long time ago. I know it’s not a head-turner but it is cute and I am hoping to draw more & improve / develop my own style.

Small steps equal big progress, says the little Asian girl.
