since i've been gone...
I visited the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus a couple of weeks ago. My sister plans to attend there next month if she receives decent enough financial aid. She's smart, extracurriculars-oriented, and could've gone somewhere in-state for a great deal, I'm sure, but her heart is set on being a Badger (not like she isn't one already ;). The school so far hasn't been all that generous, but my parents are doing their best to get her in. You can imagine it's been extremely stressful here while waiting for the official yes or no.
I had an interview with a Spa/Teahouse right before the roadtrip, and I'm currently waiting for a callback. The owner said she was going away for a week, and that it would be a total of two weeks in the least before she'd make her decision. So it could be any time now. Even though it's not photography, I'm willing to try it since the hours are good and it seems like an easy job. And if it doesn't happen or fit my situation, it won't dash my dreams or anything.
With the ease of summer, I've thought again deeply about what I want to finish school in. I'm thinking that when I do go back, I'm going to get my bachelor's in graphic design. I'd planned on it years ago, but then I changed it as my artistic interests blossomed and decided on fine arts in general (which is what my associate's is in). Yet what I keep noticing is that I'm constantly drawn back to design, whether it's logos, fashion, typography, simple illustration...I'm confident it can be my passion if I find the proper outlet.
It was Joseph's 21st birthday on Monday. He doesn't drink, so it's not all that remarkable for him, but he made me laugh when he called me to say he was in a bar at the moment and had ordered a Coke. ;) He's a darling. I've decided I'm going to visit him in a month or so unless my parents let him fly here; we'll have to push back the opportunity to move together because of our financial situations.
This week, I'd like to get a haircut and color. Been ages since a professional color job; probably I'll go red again. While we're on superficials, I madly adore this whole outfit, so I'm going to have to find a similar one for about 1% of the cost. Or less.
