rainy day

wish i was here in ogunquit at the beachmere!

today is super rainy. the weather last week was pretty nice, a taste of the 60's and 70's....april is almost here...i'm glad because i will finally be able to wear my new easter outfit i have been waiting to wear. i got this neat silk and tulle skirt from forever 21 that i have been really wanting to wear...it's one of those skirts that you can only really wear with a specific color shirt, because the skirt is color block.

i am about to hand in my illustration portfolio to be reviewed in the sophomore review process...it's to determine whether or not our work is "up to par" with the program's demands...i think i will be fine, yet i always allow room for improvement.

speaking of illustration portfolio, i won a $500 scholarship this weekend at the Connecticut Art Director's Club Student Conference for my good work. i was really really excited...the awards ceremony is in june...i really hope i can go. i hope i can do a lot of things this summer....

the reason i say that is because i have applied for a few internships...my main picks are at American Greetings in Cleveland, Ohio, as well as the Eric Carle Museum of Children's Book Art in Amherst, MA. i am still waiting to hear from them. the Eric Carle deadline was the 20th of march and the American Greetings one is april 1st. i REALLY want the one in ohio, because it is like a dream job for me. if i happened to go to ohio, however, i would miss out on a lot of fun stuff this summer....getting to see ringo starr, going to cirque du soleil, going to cape cod with my boyfriend jon and his family, and just being able to get to know jon more in general.

the one thing i really look forward to is the end of the summer, when my family and i get to go to ogunquit, maine. we have been going every year of my life and it is one of my absolute favorite places. we stay at the beachmere, which is a beautiful hotel next to a jetty into the ocean. i really hope jon will get to come with us, too, because i love to share this place with people i really care about....

well thats enough for now, i guess.
