the one thing i learnt in university is that i am a workaholic. looking back i've always been something like that. during my childhood i spent a lot of time doing whatever creative things you can imagine. i actually always had projects which kept me occupied until they were finished. that's probably how i learnt to persevere and finish things. not to leave anything undone once you don't feel like it anymore.
perseverance. one of my positive qualities. i don't know what i would do without creativity in my life.
»i am a workaholic«
i never really liked holidays. the whole day is just too free and unorganized. i'm on my summer break right now. that has been the worst time since the beginning. i know how that must sound, but it is how it is. i desperately try to keep me busy with creative projects to somehow "plug" my free time. probably just to overcome one or two free days without doing anything other then, well yes, nothing. this could involve working on my blog or other projects like sewing or drawing. believe it or not, i already started researching for my next term, my bachelor degree, even though it only starts in a few weeks.
»perseverance. one of my positive qualities.«
iiam a workaholic? wikipedia explains it with the following: work consumes the workaholic more and more. they try to work in secret. he also thinks about work in his free time and often neglects private interests and duties. (translated source)
okay, my work consumes me more and more, no doubt. i mean i practically lived in university in the 6th semester - and only slept at home (if anything at all). i often think about my work in my free time. but that's probably because my "job" or later profession combines all of my hobbies in one. therefore i don't have another chance. i would never conceal what i do. i'd probably just publish a blog post about it ;) but it is true that i neglect or did neglect my private duties; end of june/july there simply was no time for anything else but my studies.
i guess i am not a workaholic by definition but i have to admit that the most stressful time last semester was the most fun. i did nothing else than working for my collection KÖRPERGEFÜHLE and neglected all other social contacts apart from uni. i love the feeling when i achieved something and can stand behind it a hundred percent. when the outcome is exactly what it's supposed to be because i know i did everything i could. i love the knowledge i acquired and the speed i know benefit from. i'd like to share that knowledge of clothing, textiles and design. maybe one day my (dream) job as a teacher comes true somehow ;)
