I'm not looking forward to going back to school on Monday, but have been, nonetheless productive. (At least when it came to making more jewelry. My philosophy paper is another discussion altogether.) Its been nice for the "brain break" but I guess there is still A LOT of work left to be done before I'm finished for good. I've been making myself paranoid reading Susan Estrich and every book under the sun about how to get into law school. I don't know what kind of toll its taken on me yet, but I do know I will have extremely realistic views about the first year when I get there...I know that I'll probably have to give up jewelry making as soon as next January when I transfer to UCSD. It depresses me a little but its been a fun ride. I'm still crossing my fingers on that writing gig but I'm not putting my hopes up too high. :/
I'm also a little disappointed in the lady at the bead store yesterday. I went with a friend of mine after we met for coffee and the woman working in the store (who isn't the usual woman I talk to when I go there) seemed kind of suspicious of us when we walked in. She seemed really demeaning when I asked her a simple question about some Czech beads, as if I was an idiot and didn't deserve to be buying in her store. Really rather insulting since I've had some small success in selling my work. I literally felt like a teenager who was being watched for fear of theft. Yet, I'm 25, married with two kids and I run (fairly efficiently) my own small jewelry business from home. As much as I like supporting my "local bead store", I highly doubt I will return to that place again...
In happier news, here is the newest pair of earrings I've been working on...I'm excited about them because I think the Vitrail crystals turned out to be so complimenting to the Swarovski pearls. They make me want to go clubbing. LoL as if I have time to do THAT anymore...
