This week was my first week at Victoria's Secret, and so far so good. Everyone I've meet so far that I'll be working has been awesome, the commute hasn't been nearly as bad as I dreaded, and it looks like I'll be getting enough hours to quit the gardening center soon. Things are looking up and I'm excited to get more experience in what I'm selling so that I can be a little more comfortable working on the selling floor. To give me a little bit more of that experience, V.S. now lets all new employees buy 10 of nearly ANY of their panties (Ok to be serious here I hate the word panties, but I have to get used to saying it so might as well type it) for only 25 bucks! Most of the ones I got were like 16 bucks a PIECE, which is crazy talk, but I think the company wants their employees to get to try the product before they try to sell it (which is just fine with me). Anyway, Jenn here ya go, all my from-the-waist-down lovely lady lump holders in all their glory. LOVE THEM ♥
On the next subject, in my last posting I was about to meet with both Art Institute and Paul Mitchell to see what they had to offer. The open house with AI was first, and let me just say, that when I went into the school I was tired and very unsuspecting of being able to see a future for me there. I really didn't have much interest in it (I think my genuine lack of interest is pretty obvious in my last post), which was why I was so surprised that when I left that school, about 90% of my desire to go to Paul Mitchell had dissolved. I'm still a little confused about how that happened, but sitting in the open house I think I realized that I might be selling myself short by going to cosmetology school. Not that doing hair would have to be a lifetime commitment, but I when I was listening to all the programs and opportunities that A.I. had to offer, I guess I started remembering the things that I used to feel really passionate about, and I really didn't feel like settling for something that I can get done faster was going to make life much easier for me. I'm going to keep in touch with the administration and work on doing what I can to get closer to attending there in January. It's a long shot, but I have felt less reservations about this than any other option I have explored so far (which is saying something considering the price tag!). Anything is possible I guess!

Tell your boss you've made a sale. I HAVE to get me some of these. Love your 'panties'! (I hate calling them panties too).
Also, I'm so excited for you that you're getting closer to finding something to study. I could TOTALLY see you becoming an interior design or apparel designer, because a)your apartment was adorable, and you seemed to enjoy working at Pier 1. and b)you dress adorably! Be warned though - both majors have a TON of drawing and rendering involved. That's the only thing that scared me a way. But just like our momma's always told us - you can do whatever you set your heart out to do! Good luck making your decision, dearest!
Oh Yenny, how I love thee. Why must someone so very dear to my heart be seen on such a rare occasion in my life?? TWO WEEKS!
