Hard facts and hard decisions

This day has taught me a lot. I'm trying to stay positive about it, but after getting stabbed in the foot, having a program I worked on for hours suddenly stop working, and screwing up suit attempts for the umpteenth time, I need to vent big-time.
I thought it would be cheaper to make a suit rather than to commission one. I tend to be the voice of frugality in most issues. I didn't know if there were any makers who went by payment plans. I want to make something clear here. I don't want a suit just to hop on the bandwagon, so to speak. I love suits, dont get me wrong. I have family all over Cedar Rapids and everytime I am out with a furry crowd, I am always nervous I will be seen by someone; my luck tends to run bad when I least expect it. A suit would conceal my identity and also make me feel more whole. I may as well bite the bullet and commission someone for one.
I had two tests today and a programming lab so I am a little irritable. Not that I did bad on any of those, but its been a busy day. I barely got anything to eat until supper. I enjoy my academics, but sometimes they overwhelm me. I need to make one thing clear. I will not be attending FCN for various reasons:
- I have two tests/quizzes scheduled for that day. Moving those types of tests is like moving Heaven and Earth.
- I have three classes regardless of test work on Friday. I could say I have family obligations and miss them for one day, but therein lies another dilemma. Most people who go to cons don't want to drive back Sunday night and I have three classes Monday.
- Finances can be dodgy this time of year. I have to find a summer internship.
- I do not have a ride and I am not going to drive 9 hours on my own like I did last year.
Today hasn't been a shambles, but its just left me in a really sour mood. _|_____|_
I have to put my academics first. Its a long road to hoe, I realize. But if I can just get a job somewhere I can start making money again. I probably should go to bed now so I can get up for class. In the meantime, does anyone know suitmakers who deal with payment plans?

I figure the price I paid for my partials, it is well worth it compared the the hassle, lack of quality, and materials that my suit was planning on having. xP
