Stress

With the last 5 days of school closing in on me, the last thing I want to do is homework. However, my teachers think differently. With so much going on, it's hard to really care about these few days left, but I will succeed. However, my mind keeps going 24/7. It'll be worth it. I'm finally graduating!

White, White oh and some more White

I've found a few white dresses online that I like, however I have to try everything on. Why? It might be because I'm so tall that I have to be very careful about what I buy. Some things that are meant to look a little short, look super short on me. So, here are the few I'm looking at.

Prom

This weekend, I'd have to say that prom was generally successful. I had a great time just dancing with friends and getting ready. However, I have to admit I'm so ready to graduate. I'm over being in school and having to concentrate and tests. BUT I will graduate. This week looks crazy to begin with: work, school, dance, surprise for a friend, and a wedding. I'm going to be exhausted by this time is over, but it's all good. I still need to find an all white dress for graduation...it wouldn't be like me not to procrastinate though. (: 

Past Few Days

Small recap: I've been MIA for the last few days. Why? Saturday was my friends Debutante Ball and Sunday I left with her to go on Spring Break with her family till today! I haven't had much time home, seeing as I went to see the last song, but more on that later (: For now, I'm back to the real world. Time to unpack, check emails, and do other important things. !


PS: 24 days 

Job Shadowing Day

Today is the day. Job shadowing day. What do you think of when you hear about this? Well, first I thought "Oh my god, this is going to be a great experience." WRONG. All I can think of before I go out today is "oh god is this really what I want to do with the rest of my life? What if it's not? What will I do if I don't love this as much as I want to?" Well, that's why I'm going Job Shadow a graphic designer. See, I want to be an architect, but something came up with the architect I was supposed to be job shadowing. Therefore, I'm going with my third career choice. (See it goes architecture, interior design, graphic design; I will do something in design). So instead of thinking how awesome this day is going to be, job shadowing a graphic designer all I can think about is the paper and thank you letter I have to write when I get home. Even though this is a requirement for graduation, everything always involves some type of paper. Oh well. Here's a picture of my absolute favorite type of architecture. That would be Roman architecture :) Have a splendid day!

PS: I want to be able to design/build stuff like this SO bad !

Graduation Etiquette

Graduation Etiquette. Something that everyone who's graduated/graduating should know, correct? Well, I didn't have a single clue on even how to begin. So, what did I do? I googled it (: Trusty google. Well here's what I came up with: 


When to send them: For those not attending the party then mail the announcements from 2 weeks before and up to 2 weeks after the graduation.


The Envelopes: Should be addressed in black or blue ink. The outer envelope should be formally addressed. The inner envelope should be addressed informally. Avoid using abbreviations on the envelope. Place the announcement in the smaller envelope, folded edge inserted first, with the announcement front facing the flap. You may fasten the flap using a foil etiquette seal, or leave it untucked.


If you receive any gift: Always write a thank you note, however, if you send one it should be no later than 1 month after graduation. Try and say what you are going to do with the money, and show appreciation for the gift. 


I was talking to my friend Lauren, and she has about 150 people that she has to send them out to, so she's already begun to write out her invitations. Me, I don't have nearly that many but I've decided to start writing them just to get the process over with and make it seem like less of a chore. Oh goodness, it seems as if there is so much to get done before graduating, but I can't wait (: !

As the Year Comes to an End

Today we picked up Graduation Announcements. Yeah, that's right Graduation Announcements. This is it. We actually did it (almost). The nine-weeks is winding down and we only have about 7 more weeks to go (not including spring break or anything to that nature). I'm so freaking ready to get out and be on my own in the real world in college. It's so exciting to be able to say "HEY GUESS WHAT, I made it through 4 years of hell!". Well not literally, but it so seems like it at times. At my school, there are times where you just want to break down and cry because of the work-load that they put on you. In my case, I've stopped caring. (Thanks senioritis). But hey, I still have all 90's and above...well, except physics. But when it comes down to it. I don't care that I may have to take all my exams because I haven't made straight A's or the fact that I only have a few weeks to find a white dress. I'm just glad to be almost done.
