OK, on the bright side I love school and the major I have now! I feel like I have been in school forever, and all my friends (you guys) are getting couriers around me and I'm still buying back to school supplies. But seriously, I am so happy with my classes, I love doing my homework and feel like an over achiever in my classes because I'm always the first to upload my homework (we do a lot of homework involving flickr, photo version of facebook), and have not procrastinating. I am also one of the best in my classes, that is a first. Business classes were so lame and boring and BLAW, never took the time I should have to do well. Now the profs are asking me to show the class what I figured out and using my work to display in display cases as school. I have found my place!
Oh by the way I changed my major to Graphic Design... I'm going to be a graphic designer.
I'd like to thank Mike because one night in maui I was expressing to him how envious I was of my friends (Kim, Jessie) and him for having found a courier they love, and that I wish I could have that. So he asked me "what would be your dream job?" I told him "designing logos for companies" he said "well, why don't you do that?". Seemed simple enough right. So that was in the middle of a term when that happened. When I got home I met with the Art Department Director, showed her my credits from Art School that wouldn't transfer and my work from classes, she waived a lot of the classes I took and next thing I know I'm an art student again!
I also would like to thank Jessie! I was so jealous of your job and wanted to know how to get into a position like yours, you totally motivated me to figure it out!
Ok that is my school situation.
Being that I like to plan ahead, I had all these elaborate plans for my birthday and started with going to napa with the family and Michael, to Disneyland with Michael, to Vegas with you girls and Michael, to a fun weekend in Seattle with Michael... do you see the common denominator?
Well Mike couldn't get work off... when does he tell me this you ask??? the day before flying to see him 3 weeks ago, hmmmmmmmmmm I was pissed and disappointed in him. So, after getting over the fact that he could not get work off despite his efforts due to seniority (it turns out), I cried. Because shit I'm turning 25, major birthday, and you were suppose to be in all my plans, not because it was my idea but because it was YOUR idea... (that was me talking to him :) So I called him last week after getting home from maui and sobbed on the phone to him. My parents didn't want to come down to Portland in the middle of the week due to work, all my friends are either moved away or gone in general (except for you Lena but you get what I'm saying. What started as this elaborate event turned into a solo birthday. So anyways Mike is flying in on Monday night at 11pm and leaving Thursday at 10am. Its going to be a short visit, and yes I know I just spent two weeks with him in paradise, but ALL I WANT FOR MY BIRTHDAY is my boyfriend, can you blame me. We may go to the Skamania Lodge for the my birthday night and do some wine tasting... it will be fun
I am having a dinner party on friday the 9th, everyone is invited :)
I'd like to Welcome Taren to the blog, its about time lady!
