Cycle: mixed state
Mood: exhausted
Created: paranormal romance

Haven't made it to pottery this week due to meetings running long. Enjoying the new job, but also feeling overwhelmed. Frustrated by my lack of progress at the wheel; last week, I had a bad class, and then haven't been able to go back since. A bunch of my friends started taking pottery classes after I did, and they are all a billion times better than me already, which on the one hand is wonderful, because I love seeing my friends succeed, and on the other hand makes me want to quit because damn, why am I not better? I am far too critical of my own work, but at the same time, I want to do better, and I'm not learning anything, and my skills are slipping through my fingers. Literally, because clay.

Ugh. Brain is not doing so hot tonight, even though it's been a good week and tonight in particular included a wonderful gathering of friends.
