A lot of rambling
For the past few days my life has been fairly uneventful, for the most part. Tuesday I finished a drawing of Jade, as part of my new CafePress series:
I still haven't put her on my website or made an actual CafePress shop for her design yet, but I will probably start on those things later today. Now that I think of it, I forgot to add my signature, but I guess that's okay. The high resolution image is only going on the actual CafePress designs anyway, and in order for people to steal that they'd have to actually buy my merchandise. X3 I might go ahead and add a signature for the sake of putting her on my website, though.
Yesterday I drove my boyfriend to the optometrist because we thought that he would have to have his eyes dilated and need me to drive him home, but that didn't happen. However, my trip there wasn't completely pointless. I was able to help him pick out some attractive frames for his new glasses prescription. The optometrist is also conveniently located inside Wal-mart, so I was able to lurk around the beauty and cosmetics aisles while he was getting his eyes checked. I found a set of five colorful headbands and a hand-held bathroom mirror for only about $7 altogether.
I was also very tempted to buy some new lip gloss or lipstick at Wal-mart because I wanted to try something new after not being happy with most of the lip products I have at home. I really want to try a plumping lipstick or gloss because my lips are so small and shapeless and undefined, and since I'm clumsy and not good at applying makeup in general, I really don't want to try a liner. However, in the end I decided not to buy any of the cosmetics I looked at because a few of them looked like they had already been opened and used, and I didn't want to risk buying one of those. :\
To be honest, I'm still not sure what lip colors look best on me because I'm fairly pale and a lot of colors either wash me out or make me look old. I'm going to have to look into that later, but I think what I need is a subtle rose color, nothing too bright or too dark, but at the same time nothing too light, either.
After we finished at Wal-mart, I visited some of my former coworkers at Belk because my mom needed me to drop off her Belk card payment, and then we picked up some lunch at a local cafe. :3 I was a little disappointed that the cafe didn't have the mango smoothie I had the last time we went there, but the passion fruit smoothie I ordered instead was almost just as good. The food was pretty good, too.
As of today I still haven't received my orientation packet from VCU, but I finished reading my handbook for accepted students last night. Most of it was information I already knew, but I did find out a few new tidbits of information. I also looked at their art foundation website last night and looked over their course information to get an idea of what I will be doing in my classes in the fall, and to be honest I'm really hoping that I didn't transfer out of their drawing studio course because I want to do more drawing. Other than that, I'm just hoping that my general education requirement classes will transfer because I don't want to have to take more math and science classes. :\
And man, I hope the good apartments aren't all taken by the time I can visit them.
