more 10/31 pics

these are more pictures of the face painting that went on in my class halloween party.

what do you think? crazy right?

october snow in cedar city

these pictures were taken on 10/11/08 it didnt stick but it was fun to see the snow coming already. im lucky i have a "snow" setting on my camera, otherwise we would'nt have been able to see the flakes.

halloween wounds

this halloween was super fun. a co-worker of mine, rendall, worked in the theater for years so he's very proficient in face painting and theater make-up application. these are the pictures of my "gore". only one problem. the card piece wasnt staying curved and so it kept coming off my head....but i really wanted it on. so i talked rendall into putting a gob of rubber cement behind the card to get it to stick....against his better judgment. it worked, too. but it gave me a burn.
it burned for a bout an hour and a half and on my pain scale it was at about a 6.8 or a 7 out of 10. but i was determined not to give in to the pain. so i had this weird burn mark for a day or two. it peeled off on tuesday night, just like a scab or dead skin form a sun burn. weird. ive got barely a mark of a scar but its there. and i think its an interesting, if stupid, story. haha

amazing news

im so excited to share this news with everyone.....now this is pretty tentative since nothings written in stone yet....but im going to be attending suu for the spring semester. thats right. im gonna be a student. ive filled out my application form {but it costs $40 to apply so i have to wait till 11/5 to turn it in}, i take the ACTs on 12/9 {but it cost $25 to reserve a seat and test so i have to wait till 11/5 to call and schedule it}, and im currently in the process of filling out my fafsa application online. all i have to do is register for classes and get that financial aid, pay for everything and turn it all in and im done. i am DONE waiting.

in addition to THAT good news is this. for a long time ive wanted to bake....and get paid for it. as of mid november i will be employed at great harvest. my schedule will be 2/3 days a week 3am-9am. from there i will go to work at the high school from 11am-3pm. and i also have a connection at the suu post. i'll most likely start out just shadowing people but i hope to have a more permanent job there as well.

do you know what this means, people? im gonna be able to do 4 of my favorite things! bake, teach, write.....and get paid. hahaha!

i love you all! thanks for reading me! <3tristen
