I'm Ready for My Close Up Mr. Deville

The past three days have been a whirlwind, and not to crash and burn, but I haven't ate the greatest. I'm pretty sure I haven't gone over my maxium allotted of calories (1500), but I haven't ate very balanced meals, or was able to walk two days this week due to weather and feeling under the weather, which really bummed me out. But I did redeem myself today with all the running around we did for the photo shoot from 7:30 a.m. to noon. It was hella fun, and my boss, the grad assistant and I did a kick ass job - and I have to give MAJOR props to the students for being the stars of the show. Not to mention Russell Lee photography. Talk about some phenomenal work. I don't know what this guy has in his camera (magic pixie dust or photo mojo), but we are going to have some pretty frickin cool shots to choose from. Can't wait to start designing the new street banners, ads, and other collateral for the campus.

The one thing I've learned this year is my ability to push my endurance. Just when I think I've had enough, I haven't, in some sick and twisted way. My problem is I set the bar higher than I can reach, but some way, some how I always end up reaching it; maybe with a little help from a step ladder every now and then. I got to thinking over this past week, is there ever a point where enough is enough? I've had plenty of occasions where enough is enough, but somehow it just keeps piling on. What is that? Do I have a sign that says, "I'm tough, keep it coming," or "NO, that isn't in my vocabulary!," or "Go ahead, just don't leave foot prints on me." I think I've gotten better in becoming more asserting in all aspects of life. I never realized what I was made of until I was put in situations where I had to "Make it Work!," Tim Gunn style (minus the Macy's accessory wall and the chance to win a $100,000 dollars toward my own line). I guess that's one of the fun parts of this journey called life, no matter what road you end up taking, there is always a detour, fork or cal-de-sac of changes awaiting - all you have to do is decide which way you want to go.
