everything is falling into place.

LUCKY MARCH 18.

SO today for once in my time being here I am realllly happy.
after school, I went to the mall to apply for abercrombie & fitch (I reek of abercrombie..in a good way lol)
and got an application for american eagle.
I have the interview with abercrombie on Friday so I just got my outfit together for that =]
hopefully I'll get the job so I can make some duckets lol

o so i walk in there and of course i see gorgeousness (guys&girls) so i ask if they're hiring and they say yea so i go to the register to see two superb guys behind the counter to ask for the application. When I'm filling out the app we were just chatting and this guy justin is super cool he was telling me about the store and whatnot (he's from l.a. too) and he was talking about what agency he was with and then asked me "so what agency are you with?" haha i was soo flattered. i said i wasn't in any agency and he recommended that I go and sign with one. =]

o and before the mall I went to go get my PERMIT!! woo hoo. Finally. i almost failed though =/ I missed 5 and the policy is if you fail 6 you don't pass. but hey. at least i passed.

today in school. o goodness. we had a blood drive and I was all ready to donate blood and when I was talking to the lady she had to prick my finger to see my type and all that. said my iron count was too low so she said why don't we try again..so it worked. got in the chair. was just chilling, waiting. I look to the right of me to see how things were going to go down haha so i see the nurse put the needle in the girl's arm and she was digging the needle in her arm and moving it around IN HER ARM to find the vein i was like WTF!!!!!! and i look at the girl's face and she looked in pain. so look over to the left of me and this guy just has a needle sticking out of his arm and the nurse went to go get another nurse because she said his vein was too small. so i was like ooo nooooo. i had to get out of there. my wimp self teared up and basically cried. i was being really emotional for no reason..pms probably haha so yea i didn't go through with it..but for a good reason. i didn't trust those people they didn't know what they were doing. but i felt bad though because I really wanted to donate blood =/...maybe next time...o i did become an organ donor (saying on my permit haha)

i'm sore

ok so people alway think that i'm weird for liking the pain i have after i work out or go to practice but i really do. i think it's because the pain reminds you that 1) your work is actually paying off to get SOME result from it. and 2) that the more you keep working the less painful it will be later..it's only the beginning

also, just got back from a women's basketball game duke vs. maryland (w)..very good game--> overtime.

did a essay prompt for english when i came back..the only hw i've done this whole weekend besides sketching. WHICH leads me to my next topic. my art class is going into the portion of fashion design so we have to create a line around the theme of games (poker, monopoly, etc) i've finished the 3 we were supposed to do +an extra one. first one: men's leather jacket w. ace of spades, 2nd: women's fitted dress for queen of hearts (sweetheart neckline-strapless, the sweetheart part is made out of actual playing cards =]), 3rd: an outfit for the character colonel mustard from the game clue but in women form..and the last one is a colonel mustard feel with a twang of classy. yes we are ACTUAL creating these sketches so i am reaaallly excited because ever since we had to move i haven't created anything since we had to sell my sewing machine and mannequin =(...moment of silence for my two objects dear to my heart





...





ok. but yea if you know me, you know that i dabble in all types of art: film, dance, fashion, illustrations, photography..i do it all. =] && did i mention i was uber excited!!!!!!!!!!!

and i want to put out there that i am STILL trying to come out to l.a. for spring break..a cost for round trip ticket has gone down from the 400 to 300 range..the airlines are finally getting the hint. and i have 120 bux in my name right now so i'm somewhat half way through..20 days until spring break and i neeeeed money. so i'm doing major cutbacks...well not major because i've been doing it just cracking down on it. (say crack again...CRACK!) so i've come up w. a plann and this is what i've been doing since day one (before i moved) but using reinforcements THIS CAN HELP FOR YOU TOO!!!:
1. pack lunches
- lean cuisines, teddy grahams, caprisuns/water
2. no buying at school
- no more pepsi/lemonade after school =(
- no more $1 bowl of fries in the lunch line
3. no buying on weekends
