Since its only been almost two months.
I am a slacker I know.
Well I am going to grad school. UC Davis. I start in the fall and I am so excited and terrified.
its a huge move to go all the way across the country, but at least I can bring the cat. actuallythat was a stipulation for where I would find a place to live.
Maybe when I am done, I can actually clain my costume guru status righteously...
Not too much other news. I am going to work on my very first paying costume gig, and I am working on my first commissioned seamstress piece, so its a good year for personal growth.
I havent quite figured out when/how to tell my company that I am leaving. I really like them and am sad abotu leaving but grad school is something I need to do for me. Iam sure they will understand, but still they have been great.
I hope to post more regularly, and once school starts, I plan to use this blog as my school update blog. with lots of talk of costume stuff.... well maybe... I am the "costume guru" after all

On my way to Guru status
So I have not posted on this blog in a long time. That is due partially to my busy schedule, and partially to the fact that I was - in a way - clocked from accessing the site...
anyway, here is the postage due.
I posted in August of last year that I had made a major decision in my life and that was to stop the forward (yes its forward,albeit slow and windy) progression in the Government Contracting/Industrial Security world and find a new direction. Well I suppose I didn't need to "find" it per se, just actual take the bridge to the new path. I knew where it was the whole time and I watched it wistfully. Now I am on it.
Why, do you ask? well that is because I received my first acceptance letter to grad school. I am no longer "applying" to grad school, nope I am "going" to grad school. I still have four schools to hear from (one of which probably needs to get my portfolio before the can make a decision - note to self send it out Monday!), but even if I only have one to choose from, its still an option.
So this fall, I quit being part of the work force, and I go back to school and become a student again. I am superbly excited.
Hopefully the deity(ies) will smile on me and I will get some sort of teaching/research assistantship/ scholarship, or other moolah. I would not mind teaching undergrads to be passionate about costume history.
And I will be on my way to Costume Guru status - as my blog so claims I am.
