aaaaaahhhhhhh i have so much on my plate i'm going insane!
it's ok tho life is good...
I still can't find a job, and now i'm resorting to the sunday paper as well as the web. i really would like to work somewhere that will give me tuition reimbursement as well as benefits, though.... I might have to take a secretary job in the meantime just to get by and make so mo money!!! milano's is fun but it doesn't pay for shit. oh well. 'least i'm happy while i'm poor. A friend of my dad's who is in publishing gave me a buch of good advice, but the problem is, I've already been trying most of it.
now i'm on the new car search too. the green genie is an old lady. and her previous conditions seem to be worsening. poor girl. at this point it's not worth the money to have her fixed. it will be a relief to have a car that works, though, when i find one i like and can afford.
The GRE class is hard as hell and i'm so behind on homework it's ridiculous. I don't feel ready to take the GRE at all and the class ends in a few weeks. I need to finish up all the homework so i can retake the class, but i have no time!!!! aaahhh! I'm thinking and rethinking grad school. I'm going to wait until I'm 25 to go so if i do need loans, I'll get a rate cut. so i'm giving myself time to figure it out. still not sure where i want to go, I guess I'll figure out what i can get in scholarships after i take the GRE. oh, and there's that whole thing concerning what i want to go to grad school for... ha ha! I narrowed it down to something involving art... i think. school seems really uninteresting right now, but i think if i'm studying something I like and not forcibly learning math, I'll like it more. can i express how much i hate math? and suck at it? yeah. again, i'm giving it time. just worrying about it in the meantime.
So i'm in my brother's wedding in May, and the other two bridesmaids were going to get their dresses made by the designer that is making rachel's bridal gown. I was going to look around because the designer was pretty pricey. well, I wasn't having any luck finding anything nice or in her color scheme, and i was stressin out. at the last minute, the designer fell through... she's still making rachel's dress, but she overbooked herself and couldn't do the bridesmaid dresses. so the other two girls ended up ordering their dresses off of the david's bridal website, at the last minute, and praying they get in on time for the wedding. well, i got a chance to look at the dresses they were ordering, and they both ordered different styles and colors (within the color scheme). so i went to david's bridal and looked in the clearance rack and found an amazing dress within the color scheme for about $100 cheaper then what the other two girls are paying. sweet!!!! I win! i look amazingly sexy in it... and i feel like a goddesss when i'm wearing it! it's the kind of dress i want to wear every day. I just got done hemming it, and it turned out perfectly. It's definitely an ego boost that i can successfully hem a dress like that. the fabric is a pain in the ass to work with, and the cut was too because it was longer in the back, and my hemming isn't exaclty professional, but i'ts neat and looks nice. so i'm happy. and i saved myself $80. it's crazy how much they charge. maybe i should open a tailor shop and make tons of money hemming dresses... speaking of which, my purses aren't selling. boo. I think maybe people are too afraid to flaunt such an eccentric style. or maybe it's that they're little bags and the fad now is huge purses. Well the plan is, once i get my own online site going, I'll make other bags under my same "brand" name, and maybe those will sell. I wanted to initiate the "brand" with the tie purses, though. boo to people who aren't fashion-forward. man i wish i had more time for my hobbies right now.
I did get to substitute teach for a couple yoga classes at gentle wind recently though... and they went really well. i got a lot of positive feedback. still want to get my certification, but it's gonna be a while before i have the money if i have to get a new car. and i should get a new car.
and Mat and i are doing great... I really can't complain. he did lose his job recently, so he's fervently searching for a new one, which makes him all stressed out, which adds to my already being stressed out... but it's okay. we also make each other happy.
the good the bad, the ugly.... and all this was really just a big vent session while i continue to avoid doing my math homework. oh, procrastination.
shenanagans, i tell you. shenanagans.
