Woohoo! I got the job at Barnes and Noble and I'm still working at the church. Today I ran my first wedding and tomorrow I'm running a full service by myself with no help at all!
Also, big news: I'm officially a graduate student! I'm taking Religion in Film and Theatre Topics this summer and Advanced Directing in the fall. That means I'll be in Columbia for significantly longer than I had originally planned, but I'm fine with that. I used to be worried that I would get stuck in Columbia, but now that I'm faced with the prospect of spending a few years here, I'm not panicking at all. I know that I'm a goal-oriented person and it is my goal to move away from home. I will do it when the time is right and nothing can stop me!
I'm still addicted to baking cupcakes and will be making another batch tomorrow for my cousin's graduation party.
That sounds awesome! Despite being back at home base (something most of us seem to be a bit terrified of), you seem to be making the time work for you. I'd love to hear more about how running this wedding went - I have had several different people tell me that wedding planning is "basically stage managing, right?", and I'd love to see if they're right.
ReplyDeleteThe part of the wedding I ran was lights and media, so I wasn't in charge of the whole thing, but from what I saw, the wedding coordinator was pretty basically a stage manager/catch-all job just to make sure everyone stayed on schedule and the processional order was correct. You would be great at wedding planning because it's all about details!
DeleteVery cool. I may well look into that!
