Back to School: Day 13 [Project: Uniform Sierra]

Project: Uniform Sierra

Log I.D: [SoW] NiNja/StormShadow


The progress has been relatively slow due to my busier than expected schedule. I'm not even going to school nor working full-time and I find it a tiny bit difficult to make time for this very important project. But I really want this to happen and to get it ready for her even if it meant I have to present this in its incomplete state.
And so I do my best to find the minutes or the hours to squeeze in some effort into working on this soon-to-be Valentines gift. It is unfortunate that I don't even know if I'll see her, but it won't stop me from making sure I get this present ready for her. I know it's quite impossible for me to completely finish this project in time. And I know it's not turning out to be in a quality I wish for it to be due to various factors and issues I've been having. But I do know what I want for this project and I do my best to get it done.

So much I would like to do and include in this project. Things from the stories she told me during those handful of times we went for coffee and things I would like it to contain as well. I would like a mixture of what she might like and what I like. And hopefully, in the end, it's something she would truly appreciate. This is the first time I'm doing something like this for someone. And I want to get it right. I don't want to rush it either because I would like for it to turn out pretty well done. Though like I mentioned earlier, I've encountered additional unexpected issues outside those that I knew I'd definitely experience. And they delay my progress even more. I already did not have enough time to begin with, and given the technicalities that arose during my work, I just can't see this project getting done in time. And so I've decided to stop working on the project as a whole, but just choose a part of it and focus on bettering that specific portion so I can have something decent to present to her when the time comes.

I've totally done most things in a very different way. I'm a stranger to her and quite appropriately, I have done a lot of things for her that were absolutely strange and unusual to me as well. Some of them I've done for the first time. And this project I'm working on, is something I'm also doing for someone for the very first time. Granted some parts of this project, I've already had in me for quite some time now. I was just not able to figuratively 'write them down on paper'. I'm kinda nervous and excited. I really want to get this right and I'm getting slightly discouraged because I don't think I'm getting the quality correctly. I know it's a hardware issue, but I just can't help but feel like I can do better. I just don't want this to end up terribly wrong. If I'm doing this for the first time, I'm gonna get it right.

Hopefully, she'll end up liking it. If not, well, at least I tried. Right now, all I can really do is make sure I'm ready. I need to wait and be prepared for a day that might not even come. Thinking about it now, such an activity isn't really anything new to me. I've waited for other things way improbable than this. And I'm still here. Got no choice really but to be here.

Tomorrow I set out to browse for possible containers that would carry this Valentines gift. It will be very small, but I want it to have a slightly bigger container. Something very solid and preferably stainless steel that will really protect the item inside. It's special to me and hopefully it's something that would end up being special to her as well. Though I am always uncertain whether to keep my hopes up or not with things when it comes to her, this is one thing I am 100% sure that regardless of the ending I get, I can be gratified that at one point in my life I did this for someone. I can walk away proud of myself.
