Yay
I have designed and purchased business cards. They're very simple but designed well. Perfect when looking for a design or art job. Now the job hunt begins. I have a very long list of design firms and architecture firms and home builders to send my resume too. As well as some vets, who get a different resume because at one point I was going to be a veterinarian so I've taken all the relevant classes to assist a vet. I've even stuck my hand into a cow's stomach. Smelly. I'm currently still working at the magazine because although graduates are supposed to be terminated from their jobs on May 9th, my boss argued to keep me through the summer so I have three months for my job search.
My husband takes the DAT on June 16. Applies to dental school on June 1. We've picked 15. And yes to all my Ablog friends, Richmond is one of those 15. The Virginias, North Carolina, Boston, New York, Arizona, Dallas, Minnesota, California, Pennsylvania...we're applying everywhere. I'm personally rooting for Dallas because that's where we'd like to settle eventually. They give preference to residents of Texas and Utah! What a happy coincidence. But I'd be very happy with NYU, too, because I love New York City.
In fact, we just got back from NYC. My parents took us for my graduation present. The Metropolitan Museum was amazing and the Museum of Modern Art was my own personal heaven. I bought a print of Picasso's Les Demoiselles d'Avignon and we're putting it in our bathroom to shock people who tend to be shocked by art because really, if any art is going to shock someone who tends to be shocked by art it's Picasso's group of distorted prostitutes. Or, of course, Francis Bacon's Painting, 1946" but even I feel that is a bit much for my bathroom. It has tons of meaning and it's a very deep painting but it's also somewhat disturbing. Plus, they didn't sell that print. I also bought a Jackson Pollock print, of course, because I love him. And Andy Warhol's Campbell's soup can for the kitchen. Because it just makes sense. Sadly, they didn't sell any Franz Marc prints. I will have to buy those on the internet.
We also saw Wicked while we were there. It was fantastic. But we had the understudy Elphaba and she wasn't as good as the Elphaba we'd seen in Denver with the touring company. She just kind of spoke the high notes, almost like she couldn't reach them so she didn't try. But then she'd hit a fantastic high note and you'd think, "Well, why didn't you do that when it was REALLY important during Defying Gravity?" But still, fantastic. It's coming to Utah next summer. I check daily to see if tickets are on sale yet.
Well, that's pretty much caught everyone up so I'm off to bed. I have Friday's off with my husband because I go to work insanely early to get Friday's off so while it's not strictly necessary that I go to bed, I'm getting tired seeing as it is 2 a.m. and I've been up since 5:45 a.m.
Oh, and I didn't fail statistics. It's the most failed class at BYU. Leaving it until my last semester wasn't my best idea ever but it worked out. Studying for the final had me in hysterics because I just turned dumb for one day there and couldn't figure anything out, but the actual test went incredibly well.
