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. 

Scholarships? What Scholarships?

So as senior year is coming to an end and my high school career is quickly ending the search for scholarships is now an important thing on my parent's minds. I must get about 5 or 6 emails a day about "you have a new scholarship waiting for you" and "come check out this scholarship". Besides the fact that I don't really care all that much (I have a major case of senioritis), it's major stress. I mean, as a high school senior, I have school (which involves massive amounts of homework), work, dance, and attempting to keep a social life. So I'm devoting an entire afternoon today to going through all my scholarship things that I haven't gotten around to just yet. I have a feeling that this is going to take a long time, so I'm gathering supplies now: coffee, and music.
