good news everyone, as I said in my subject. I have good news.
I picked a school... I am going to Linfield.
I think that it will be a lot of fun and they have a really awesome program for students majoring in communications. I realize some people... don't even know that I was thinking about school, and some have no idea what it is I want to major in, and hopefully do with my life. Sad. I like having people know. But yeah I am excited today I am sending my papers to OSU, Lewis and Clark, Reed, U of O, U of W, and Willamatte to tell them that I am going to Linfield, I can't tell Linfield yet, cause I need to send the $400 fee with my acceptance of well acceptance, and I don't have that kind of money now, I think that my Dad is going to pay for it, I think he is going to pay with it with his tax return. I think that would be nice, oh so nice. I hope things work out well cause well I want them too and as of right now my stress level pertaining to college is about as low as it can be. I like that feeling. I am excited to live there too. If you want you can see this place I will be living for the next 4 years. (www.linfield.edu)
So I didn't post in here that I got a job. I did!! I got a job working at the Safeway in Albany, a lot of people from school already know but I know not everyone who reads this I talk to at school, or they don't even go here. It had nothing to do with my Grandma either, I just applied like anyone else would have and I didn't use anyone affliated with Safeway as a reference, I think that I did a good job, I am just that awesome.. hehe. I will be going to my first training session tonight, I am excited. The dress code sucks though, Ashli you think yours is bad, I have to wear black pants, and black shoes, black socks ( no matter if you can see them or not, supposedly there are going to be random checks, Scott my cousins boyfriend works at the Albany store and he said that they have already had one ), then I have to wear a white button up shirt and it has to be buttoned to the VERY top button, and to top it all off I have to wear a tie, or a scarf thingy, you know those ones that come in all sorts of pretty colors and patterns, or I could wear a ribbon bow tie or I could even wear a brooch. Haaha. Its great. But if I buy one of the new company shirts which are short sleeve like that greenish brownish kakhi color in camo, then I can wear that and the top button can be unbuttoned. My shirt has to be tucked in AT ALL TIMES NO MATTER WHAT. I am allowed to wear skirts that are at the minimum 1 inch from the top of my knee, but how often do you seee people working at safeway in a skirt, I will though cause pants are annoying and I am checking so its a lot better not as much bending over and stuff as being a courtesy clerk. I am glad and I think that I will wear a skirt once and a while, first I need a couple paychecks so that I can get one.
So I am going to prom, I don't have a date though and I really don't have a group of people to go with either, I am sure that I could though. I was thinking about asking Janet and Jackie what they are doing, but maybe I will just go with Nataile and her group I don't know. But I figured out my dress situation. I am making it. I designed it, well really close to it, I had to make some adjustments to my original design, I did it in Fashion Design 1, so I am really excited about that, its going to be black and red, dress black, with red other stuff on it. Haha. I will be sure to post pictures and what not of it on here so that you all can see the transformation. I think that will be really really cool, I'll brag about my cute design haha.
Well this is getting long and class lets out at 1:58 and I have people that I want to see. I am going home at 2:15 so that I can change into my work clothes and then go downtown to mail some things for the colleges that I wont be going to and then also some papers to the school that I will be going to. then head on my way to Albany, I will be taking the Goltra Rd. turnoff if anyone cares. haha.
