Just feel like it...

So it's late, but, I just feel like writing right now. I have nothing else to do pretty much. Things seem to be going pretty well lately. I've started my make-up class at Von Lee International School of Aesthetics. This coming Tuesday, I will be half way done and only will have 5 more classes to go til graduation! That's pretty exciting I think. I'm probably going to end up working at MAC Cosmetics. They told me they were accepting apps. right now, so that's good. They said all I need to do is know how to do make-up and be good with customers, no prev. job experience necessary, according to the woman I talked to anyway. I talked to a girl in my make-up class who worked for MAC in a Nordstrom, and she said the interview process is really intense and intimidating. I'm glad she warned me, but now I'm scared about trying to get a job there, I don't exactly do well when I'm nervous and under pressure. But we'll see about that. If MAC doesn't work out, it'll likely be Sephora that I go for. I mean, and that's all until I can get my name out there enough. I mostly would just like to freelance and do make-up on my own and make my own money. But I have to build up some loyal clients first. I've already been hired for my first freelancing job, so that's exciting. A friend of my mom's, her daughter has prom in May. So they're going to pay me a week ahead of time to do a test run, and I guess if everything goes okay, then I'll come back the day of prom, and they'll pay me for that too :] so it's pretty great. I have no idea how much I'm getting paid. Probably not a lot, since it's just prom make-up, it's not going to take a while and I'm not going to be there doing it very long. I don't even think I get to choose my price, which kinda sucks, since that's what freelancing is all about, being able to do what you want and charge your own prices. But, for now, I need to take what I can get. And hopefully, Danielle [the girl going to prom] might refer me to her friends. Although, that wont be of too much help if she and most of her friends are seniors, I'm not sure if they're 11th or 12th, regarding prom anyway. My cousin said she'd let anyone she knew about me that needed their make-up done and tell me about it and stuff, so that's good. But she's pretty young, I think she's like 14, so I don't think she or any of her friends need special occasion make-up any time soon. I'm getting ahead of myself here though. I'm not even graduated yet! But the class is going pretty great. I mean, it's pretty intense, but it's a lot of fun! Dustin starts school soon. He starts just after I graduate. It's going to be weird. Cause he'll be gone from like sun up til probably close to dinner time! I'm going to miss him, a lot lot lot. But in June, I may be going on a cruise with my mom and some family for a week, so at least I can look forward to that week to take my mind off of Dustin being in school, and since he can't come because of school :[[ sucks. It's going to be hard to sleep without him during that cruise. But that's a ways away. Still though, I'm ready for these first 6 months of Dustin's schooling to be DONE with already and he hasn't even started! Only because after the 1st 6 mo., he starts his PAID EXTERNSHIP! So if I don't get a job by October, at least Dustin will have one, and wherever he gets placed for that is likely where he'll end up staying, if they like him. At least til we save enough for him to open his own bakery! But yeah, that's SUPER exciting, and he wont be gone like ALL the time so far away. I mean he'll still be gone several hours probs, but, he'll likely be in Westminster, or at least Carroll County, rather than Gaithersburg, where the school is, which is well over an hour away! And he -hopefully- wont have to wake up and go so early once he's working. But, I'm getting WAY ahead of myself AGAIN! I keep thinking too much about the future. One thing I'm really focusing on though, is the wedding. Unfortunately it seems the wedding will not be this October, but next. For one, we just don't really have much money atm, and I can't leave all the costs to our parents. Also, Dustin will be out of school by next October. One BIG reason it really needs to be postponed is the fact that we've changed our theme. We decided to go along with a steampunk theme! So now, I want this awesome Victorian dress. It's between 2 different ones, one is around $600 or $700, the other is nearly $900! So REALLY expensive, compared to the dress I originally wanted, which was less than $100! And the cake, we decided, is based off this one steampunk cake we saw, and it's a bit complicated. Our cake already is going to be min. $1000. But I think it could even near close to $2000 or at least $1500! I also have decided it isn't likely all our family will fit in Dustin's backyard for the ceremony. So it's looking like we're going to go with something like one of the nearby parks/nature centers, like Piney Run or something like that. So that's more money. Then there's the cost of the reception area, which we think we're going to use The Riding Club. Not sure though. -Sigh- everything's just more expensive now. But, it's exactly the wedding I want. I'd rather wait and have the perfect wedding, than rush and have a not so enjoyable one. But, that's about it that's going on with me. No one reads this, but it's nice to get things out, and it'll be something for my future self to look back on and remember what I was thinking at this time :D! OH wait, I also have been very sick lately! I have a sinus infection and I'm still recovering from it. I'm miserable!! And I'm swallowing so much mucus it's making me sick to my stomach! It's gross honestly. GOD I'M TIRED, I'm gonna go now...yeah.
