What's happening

Maybe I should say what goes on in my life currently:

I have been having lots and lots of fun with makeup. As usual. This is my makeup for when we went to the renaissance faire. I was a fairy, of course. It was really fun to do this makeup, but it took FOREVER.
This is supposed to be Mrs. Fox from Fantastic Mr. Fox. I designed it for a contest held by Lime Crime, an incredible makeup brand. I can't afford their lipsticks, but the colors are pretty awesome.

I just started my internship at the Child and Family Support Center. So far all I have done is helped out in the Crisis/Respite Nursery, which has been fun. Time goes by so quick when you play with kids. However, I have a lot more going on with the internship than playing with kids. I will be helping teach 3 classes: Stepfamilies, Anger Management for 7-9 year olds, and a parenting class held at the prison. Plus I might be coming along to some home visits. Whoo! And with everything I do, I have to incorporate art into it.

Craig is going to school for the summer. Perspectives in folklore and Calculus. It's going to be a busy summer for both of us.

I am job hunting yet again. My job ended right at the end of the semester, in fact, I worked for 11 hours at commencement and graduation for my last day. It was a long day. An old man threw up a lot. The bathrooms were dirty. The usual.
Jobs are so hard to come by around here, and plenty of the jobs I come across are very temporary; they are either for the school year or for the summer. I guess that's how it is in a town that revolves everything around a university.

Overall, we are doing well. Right now, Craig and I decided that we are obsessed with Avatar: The Last Airbender. We watch it every chance we get. Not the movie though, just the tv show. We haven't seen the movie.

I'm a little stressed about the transition to summer, with a new schedule and new challenges. Don't worry though, it's still freezing. It is very un-summer-like. It won't get scalding hot for a couple more weeks.

Oh yeah, guess what? I made progress in my cooking abilities. I made Plum Ginger Chicken! It was delicious. Better than Panda Express, according to Craig.

And, I had my craft fair. I sold like, 4 things. I think I made $10. Sad. But it was fun and I traded the other vendors for lots of cute accessories. Plus I got experience right? I spearheaded the whole event! That's pretty cool; someday that experience will pay off.

Lastly, I teach the Nursery at church. All that studying of infant development this past semester is being put to good use.
