I have very little to report today. School seems to be sucking up most of my life right now, which I suppose is just as well. If I keep busy I don't have time to think about some of the larger questions in life, questions about my future and what I really want to accomplish with my life. That old tension between career and family just seems to keep rearing its ugly heady. And there just aren't any answers.
I'm still lonely here...lonelier than I was last semester, or even a few weeks ago actually. But I'm starting to either find the courage to express my own true self, or finding people who accept me for what I am. Probably the truth is someplace in between. I've made a goal for myself to meet people outside of school, and so far that seems to be working out fairly well. It's jut hard to find the time some weeks.
I've decided that somehow or another I really need to start sewing again. Since I need suits, I'm going to make a suit. I have some good patterns from Vogue that should be good, I just need to find some good fabric. I was thinking a linen would be nice, especially for the summer and fall interview season. It gets so hot here, wearing wool or some synthetic is going to kill me. I just can't quite work out what to use for lining in a linen suit. More linen? Cotton? Silk or rayon seems like it would be too hot, and defeat the whole purpose of making a linen suit.
More later when I have something meaningful to say...meanwhile, it's back to the con law reading and hiding

Try a silk habutai lining, and silk organza for stiffening. It works beautifully.
