I'm only a couple weeks into my PWP and already my friends are sick of hearing about it. You see, they had to hear about my initial idea, and bear with me as I refined it. They were poked and prodded for ideas and suggestions as I composed a list of all the things I wanted to do with it. Then they were harassed into helping me accomplish said things.
My best friend's hauling me back to his childhood home in Wisconsin, sacrificing his weekend and risking his car to teach me how to drive. A co-worker has found herself a new career path, as both my personal barber and my human training wheels. My boss is letting me camp out in his backyard. If anything, this project has taught me that I have a really great group of friends who are willing to put up with a lot.
However, not a single one of them knows how to knit. I've also been unable to find anyone with enough time for a road trip between now and finals. Turns out, possessing the motivation to finish my list is only half the battle. Real world limitations are currently forcing me to reassess some items and cross others off entirely.
I kinda figured that you were gonna run into this lots of work dilemma. Hope you stick with it, though.
