I went in again to New Image today to find out whether my student loan application had been approved and if so, for how much. It seems the government isn't always out to get you; it seems sometimes they do actually want to help.
I was approved and not only that, I was approved for the entire $16,500 which means I don't have to run around like a suicidal chicken with my head cut off, trying to make up the difference.
I really just can't say enough about Charie and what a wonderful woman she really is. She has been so wonderful through the entire process and I really believe I couldn't have done all this without her help. The thought of facing all the paper work and application process by myself is overwhelming enough that if I had to have done it without her help; I don't think I would have gone through with it. I am now just in the process of waiting for the final paper work to be mailed to myself and hopefully it should be here by Friday the 19th. Once the final paper work is in, I'll have one more appointment with Charie and then it's off to the post office to finalize the loan and VOILA! I'll have finished everything I needed.
Orientation for the April course will be on April 13th and I am really looking forward to it. I can't wait to get to know the people and teachers I'll be spending the next year of my life with. Another nice perk to orientation is the fact there will be sushi! Hahaha, yes I know, I'm terribly shallow for seeming like I'm only thinking of the sushi (Dude, it's SUSHI!) but I really am excited for everything!
It was a great feeling to be so close to finally being done with the whole application process as I'm now that much closer to the course start date and I am truly looking forward to it.
After we finished up at the school, Matty took me to our favorite little sushi place in Gastown (Momosushi on Water st. if you're interested) and we had an amazing little lunch and a beer and just a nice little celebration. Better still, while we were eatting, we ran into 3 of our close friends who were there to have a quick lunch before work. That was really lovely, especially as they all had well wishes for me and plenty of compliments on my AMAZING eyeshadow :p
Not to blow my own horn there or anything, but it really is phenomenal today! It was my 21st birthday on the 12th and Matty absolutely SPOILED me. Not only did he take me out for lunch at one of my favorite places in the lower mainland, Wings (on Granville and Davie. Check it out, half price wings from 2-5pm everyday. Everyone loves beer and wings. Everyone.) but he also managed to round up all of our friends who also joined us. It was a really great day and night and consisted of plenty of beer and tequila and jager bombs and of course everything that comes with such drinking. Not only did he do ALL that, he also took me to MAC and bought me 2 amazing eye shadows I've been lusting after for quite some time. I chose Sunny Spot from the POP collection which is a really lovely chartreuse color in the pan but when applied or swatched is a really lovely bright yellow. I also chose Sushi Flower which is a gorgeous kind of coral pink. I have been looking for such a color for awhile as it really is very versatile and looks great with SO many colors. I have heard some mixed emotions on both of these colors as people don't seem to like having to "build up" the color. I think that is actually one of my favorite points about both of these shadows. I like having the option of a sheer color or a really bright opaque one. These are both AMAZING colors and I'm truly loving them both. Which brings me back to the start of this particular paragraph. I'm rocking the Sushi Flower today with MAC's Amber Lights pigment and NYX's Golden Dune in the crease. Considering how much I am LOVING this look, haha it threw me off a bit when I was doing my makeup this morning and didn't have my mascara or eyeliner on yet. Funny how much mascara and eyeliner really do pull together the entire eye look! I realize I would be completely lost without mascara or eyeliner. Take a look, tell me what you think!
I also picked up a new primer and finally found a bent eyeliner brush today, so I'll have a few reviews in the next couple of days too!
Now, for the makeup porn! Doesn't my poor palette look so empty?!
