We're progressing

It was a good day, like a legit good day. Midterms are approaching and somewhere pressure is building, but I'm fine. I have been working, my group has been working, but we need more work to be done. But it is cool, I'm not freaking out yet. We discussed with Ma'am today, we didn't have a lot of work, but we had work. But Ma'am didn't seem very happy. Honestly, she has kind of started to piss me off and most of the others, too. She has a given us a list of requirements and she wants to stick to that, like rigidly. And it is no fun. She doesn't even want an extra drawing other than what she has mentioned.

I'm still working on this one.

The one-sheet that Ma'am actually liked.

  

She somewhere liked this one too. But we have a 
few changes to make.

So out of all the sheets, we presented, only one got approved. We have to rework on almost all our sheets. I feel we are not very far behind. We're yet to start working on our interventions, but right now kind of confident that we'll do a good job. Muskaan and Aditi have become serious, and I have also started staying up to finish my work. A pat on my back. I have made progress. 

Other than I met my girlfriend (I have 3),  after 8 months and 5 days. We'd last met her on my birthday. We didn't meet for so long because 1. I went back to Ahmedabad, the day after my birthday. And when I came back home it was "corona time", then Ann went to Kerala. So here we are, 8 months later. I'd previously written a blog about how relationships change after you join college and leave your home to go live in another place, but some bonds don't. Maybe, because we grew up together, we saw each other go through various phases in life. I'm glad I have some people I've known throughout my life. I also met Febin. Febin, Ann and I are family. We were one, we still are. I also met 3 other friends, accidentally, but yeah it was good to know that people recognize me even after I shaved my head. I also spoke to Jermy, after so so long. Not 8 months but yeah. We literally went on and on for almost 2 hours. I showed him all the studio work. I don't know if he even understood half the things I said. But he did give me a standing ovation for getting drunk on Freshers.

Jermin Jose is my favourite kid.

After the discussion with Ma'am, I didn't do any work. Neither did I post a picture of my canvas painting. No no, I didn't become lazy and break my streak. I couldn't click a picture with the shrubs in my garden as background. I didn't want to spoil my feed, so I thought I'll do it tomorrow anyway.

Walking with masks on is such a nightmare. It feels like a workout. It takes double the effort to wear a mask a walk. And honestly, it's so disappointing to see that people give 0 fucks. There were so many people on the streets without masks. I think people want India to win first place at something. Right now, we're second in the world in the number of COVID 19 cases. But no to worry, soon we'll be first.

Also, I did a very stupid thing. I didn't acknowledge the FP Newsletter team's mail. I didn't reply to their mail. Yesterday Arundhati texted me if I'll be joining the team. I kind of felt stupid for not replying. I hope I didn't ruin my impression even before I joined the team.

I don't like this one.
