For reals?
Jun. 21st, 2013 09:40 pmI just remembered that I still haven't gotten my thesis or diploma, and that my last email to the grad office has not been answered.
WHAT IS GOING ON
WHAT IS GOING ON
I don't know why I can't do something so simple. Instead I have to email the registrar, the program head, and the graduate office and they get it done for me eventually but ugh. No, Dad, I will never ever get a PhD (not that I have ever heard of a fashion/textile history PhD program anyway).
I like being sociable
May. 19th, 2011 10:44 amYesterday's presentations went well. For Candace Wheeler I was worried that Nancy (prof.) wouldn't like that it was more a biography than a study of her design techniques and for my catalogue entry I was worried that I'd dated it wrong (1910-1915 was what I gave, but it's hard to tell on a dress that's not on a mannequin what shape it's going to have, and I thought it could be maybe 1919-1922); Nancy thought I did a great job and Denny agreed with my date. So it is all done! Classes! No more! Forever!
To do academically on the internet:
- scan in the pattern for the Lefferts shirt so I can FINALLY finish and un-private-lock the post for it on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mimic_of_modes

All of the structural sewing and finishing on my shift is done! It fits so perfectly. I know, as far as fitting-perfectly garments go, a shift is not high on the list of priorities, but it really does fit perfectly. I'm doing my initials in counted-thread cross-stitch with a diamond in between on the front and if Parks & Rec did three episodes instead of two tonight I'd be done with that as well. But as it is I have "C ♦" and I'll do the P tomorrow. Pictures forthcoming but for real this time, and I think I might start a dreadfully interesting Facebook album for the whole project since it is my qualifying paper.
Should go to the Parson's graduate symposium tomorrow as it's so close to my apt. but I don't really want to. Maybe I will work on one of my final projects instead so I feel like it was okay to skip it. I am very likely to take a trip to the garment district and see if I find any really good deals on the fabrics I plan to use in the rest of my project: more linen (lining, stays), white cotton (dress, stays), plain or striped taffeta (open robe), wool (spencer), velvet (spencer cuffs/collar). I guess I should try to figure out how much I'll need of each before I go, in case I find something.
I gave in and got regalia and am now going to graduation. /o\ All of us are, it would have looked bad if I was the only one that didn't show.
