Sooooo...first day of school recap:
- There was that awkward/nervous "nice to meet you" vibe before class started.
- Apparently they interviewed 330 people and only accepted 60 students. Yikes! They're going to split us into 4 sections and we'll have all our classes with the same 15 people.
- There are like a billion different materials that we need to get. OK, I'm exaggerating - but it does add up. Sewing kit, art kit, locker, fabric, thread...I guess that means less money for retail therapy. :(
- Threading a sewing machine is like riding a bike. We also learned how to sew basic seams today - a much-needed refresher.
- Everyone else is so young! Like, fresh out of high school. It's so funny going back to studying after having worked for a bit. You have a lot more perspective, but also a lot more at stake (on the "This is what I want to do with my life" game show)!
- The course is split into theory/design classes and practical/sewing classes. It sounds like the learning curve will be very steep and they are going to work us hard - I'm up for the challenge!
- I actually do kind of feel like I'm on Project Runway. All I need is Tim Gunn saying, "Make it work, people!":p
