To Do List

I feel like God is telling me that I am on the right track. He has just been taking care of me so much! It seems that when ever I need help, he is there for me. There are days when I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to eat, because I've run out of  meals at the cafeteria or I'm out of money; then someone brings in pumpkin bread, or buys me lunch, and I'm not hungry or worried anymore. There are days when I'm not sure how I'm going to pay my bills; then Mitch gets more money than he was expecting, or I get a notice in the mail that I can skip one month on my car loan. It's been wonderful! He's put people in my life who are always there to take care of me. For the wedding people have really stepped up to help. One of my friends paid for my wedding dress. A couple of my mom's friends want to help out with photography, the cake, and catering... all for free. We found a beautiful location for the ceremony and reception, all for under $200, and I've been finding multiple ways to save money by making things myself or buying things cheaper online. I think we've only spent $400 on the wedding so far. What a blessing!
There really isn't much left to do at this point. All we need are to pick up the chairs and tables from my church and other churches in town, buy the food from Costco, buy the flowers from Costco, purchase the decorations from a local party surplus store, purchase the arch for the altar, purchase the items for the vows, make the cake, decorate the site,  make the bouquets, reserve the hotel for our short honeymoon, put a down payment on an apartment in San Diego, get my hair done, loose 50 pounds (just kidding)....
Well, I hope I can get that all done in 2 months... I'm sure I will. Maybe not the loosing 50 pounds, which would be ideal, but not really practical at this point.
There are other things that I need to be doing in this short time as well. I'm starting to work on my music for the upcoming production of the opera Cendrillon, Jules Massanet's version of Cinderella. I have the role of La Fee, or the Fairy Godmother. It's a wonderful opera and I'm getting more excited for it by the minute. Oh course I need to learn how to pronounce French and well as becoming a coloratura soprano. On top of that I am going to be working full time this summer as office assistant for the web design team on campus. I don't know what that's going to be like or how much mental work that is going to take up, but here's hoping it's pretty easy. By far it will be the easiest summer job I've had yet. So far I've always had to be on my feet because I worked with food services in the past, but this job with the web team is a desk job.. thank God.
I will also, hopefully, be getting a graphic design internship over the summer. I have an interview set up for this coming Tuesday with a local business who needs a graphic designer to make their pamphlets and brochures for their company. I hope I can fit the bill! The man I've been talking to seems to really like my stuff. Hopefully this will turn into a career or at least put my foot in the door.
I was really excited last semester because I had had contact with a web design firm who asked me to do some logo design work for their clients. I thought that this was an actual job, but they haven't emailed or called me in three months! 3 MONTHS! I've emailed them several times about it. I did a few logos for them, which they never commented on. If they use those logos without paying me for them I hope I can sue. I mean, we never had any legal document written up, which is my fault, but still. There are emails talking about asking me to come in, and I talked with the directer in person. He gave me the assignments and I did them. I sent them in for approval and I didn't hear back at all for weeks. It was only after I inquired about how he liked the logo that he emailed me back, and all he said was that he would take a look at it and tell me how the client liked it after their meeting. I didn't hear from him for weeks so I emailed him again. After another couple of weeks and a few more emails later he finally got back to me saying he had been busy traveling around and hadn't been able to take a look at the logos I had sent him for his own company or tell me what had happened with the meeting with his client. WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?!?! I mean, you can't take a few minutes and check your messages and email me back? FOR 3 MONTHS?
I just dropped the company. It was no use to waste my time waiting for them to email me when I could go out and talk with other companies who are willing to PAY for my work. Anyway, that's all I have for now. Until next time!
