kick ass.

We started ventilating hair tonight in class, which is essentially latch hooking on a minuscule level. Hard to get the hang of, but when you do, it's super easy and relaxing. Tonight was my first night ever doing it, ever learning, even.
My teacher was very happy in telling us that a girl in our semester from the other class managed to do 7 rows! In the two inch square midterm we started tonight. He was amazed she'd worked so fast.

By the time I left class, I had just started on my 13th row. My goal had actually been to double what she managed to do, so close! But I am super hyped right about now because I think I finally found my niche in the special effects industry. I really did enjoy doing that so much.

Oh, and a fun fact of the day?

In the last Star Wars movie, they had six Wookie suits, and all were hand ventilated. 14 people were employed to make the suits for a pay of $85 dollars an hour. It took them nine months to complete the suits (not straight, lol). But I'm pretty sure you all catch my drift. In this industry, hair ventilating is considered to be a dying art.

aka, this shit pays. And did I mention I'm kick ass at it?
