Yipee!!! I passed my first set of two exams for school!!! Next up is another set of exams (three of them) AND a graded project.....why is it that school is more exciting now than it was 8 years ago....maybe because I'm actually going for something I LIKE to do, hahahah.

So.. you planning or specializing in corporate or wedding type stuff?

specialk specialkOG 2003

Hopefully a little of both. If I have to get my start in corporate, in order to get experience, that's cool. But I'd like to eventually so the wedding side too, since I enjoy the creativity of that.
It's a shame I don't really have any desire to be a caterer....there's a sister here who hires me to cater parties she plans, and she's got me flying back for a formal she's gonna plan later this year/early next year. Should be fun (and profitable!!)

Nice, I guess the corporate although a little mundane, is better for meetings and weekends... alot of luncheons etc. And never on a long weekend. :-)

specialk specialkOG 2003

Yeah. Plus, corporate is cool for travel, and planning convention-type things for big companies.
The weddings are my fave though...there's a friend we have who is getting married in February.....in St. Lucia. And she's having me help plan it. Which means we get to fly for free, and get a big 'ol discount on the room, in exchange for my help.
These are the perks....gotta love it. :)

Ooh very hoydy-toidy!! Very nice! I hear St. Lucia is absolutely gorgeous!!

specialk specialkOG 2003

A week TOO!, *jealous*

So... details? On the beach? Sunset? Peasant blouse, flowers in hair, tiki torches, all guests dressed in white, tapas on sticks? oooh the mind reels.. Ice sculpture that doubles as a martini chiller.. ?!?!

specialk specialkOG 2003

Hahaha.....not a whole lot planned yet....the resort does the BIG details....as for the smaller stuff, that's what she's got me there for. I'm supposed to meet with her this week, before I go....in all my spare time, hahahaha.

Your a funny lady... SPARE TIME!!! LOL

So.. place cards, bombonieres, etc? That kinda stuff?

specialk specialkOG 2003 monster

Somewhat...flowers, deciding on menu, when to walk, etc.....it'll be a fairly easy one compared to a few I did a couple years ago. Sheesh....hahaha.

specialk specialkOG 2003

I am a little upset though....on my first exam, I got a 100, but on the second one, I got an 85....still a B, but I know I could have done better.

M

Well do you know what you got wrong... like do you feel that maybe the questions were worded a little wonky? Like if the question was strait forward that you know the material and would have got it right otherwise?

specialk specialkOG 2003

Yeah, it tells you which ones were wrong, and where to find the correct answers. Funny thing, the ones I thought I'd get wrong, I got right. And the ones I got wrong, to me, seemed right when I read it. Oh well...it's still a B, which is better than when I was in school years ago, hahahah. :)

Oohh school days, yeah, LOL, I was horrible.

But I totally agree that when is something you actually like to do, that makes a world of difference!!
