Waiting for Superman... or at least a crit

It's the weekend before Passover is set to begin and I'm still stressed from the midreview which did not go as well as I hoped for.

Reminding myself, the rule is:

"Fix it, don't start over" 

unless you have a really good reason for it.

Today, sitting in studio, I have had nothing prepared, but I did come for a reason, I needed to get out of the house one more time before the holiday started so I can say good bye to my studio mates. They're very receptive of my occasional antics. I don't know why. I'm unusually moody today. Probably because of the heat in the studio.
So I sit down and work on a 1/8" scale model based on my floor plans, and I'm realizing all of these issues that are surfacing.
I had only completed two floors. But I could see now where I need to push my model around.
The professor passed by, asked if I was ready for a crit. I wasn't. And later she would be ok with it as a friend would tell me over a phone call, whilst commuting.

I've always waited for a crit, whether I was ready or not. I have had a total of 3.5 critiques-not including mid review and finals and group sessions.
I'm not complaining. But for this project I have been unclear on many details. But today, I am receiving clarity. Although I can't do much before Passover starts.
But this mindset I'm in currently, is what I'll need as soon as the חג is out.

Thanks for reading, dear reader :)
