Well apparently I’ve been unknowingly commissioned to make a WEDDING CAKE. Yeah. Wow. Ok. It’s for my mom’s co-worker’s daughter and I’ve already made her a big baby shower cake. It was 2 tiers with one (or two?) tiers on top of pillars with a bear on top. I’ll look for the picture and post it some time. I’m flattered that they thought of me and were impressed with my work. It was 5 years ago when I had just turned 14. The main issue I have is that I have NO idea when this wedding might be and I have school! I’m just hoping it’s a late spring or summer one because I have no time right now even though I’m actually rather excited about it when I get over the trauma of 250 people judging my cake. I’ll let you know what the heck is going on as soon as I do.
On another note, the weather SUCKS and my school almost never closes.
The last time was two years ago and even that was the first time in 17 years. It would have to be a full blown emergency blizzard. With a tornado. And at least one and a half buildings must have already been destroyed. The campus must also be suffuring from radiation exposure. Even then the will calculate the half life to see if we could fit in an exam or two before we’re killed. ‘Sure, class! We can study isotopes today!’
I also got a mild case of frostbite today! It’s been in the single digits all day with some seriously intense wind. All I did was walk out to my car to get my art supplies and back into the building (I had even parked in the closer lot!) I had forgotten my gloves at home and by the time those maybe 5 to 8 minutes had passed, my hands were cherry red and numb. As they warmed up inside they began to burn like they were on fire!!! Then the bases of my smallest fingers swelled up quite a bit for about an hour and a half. They’re fine now even though the previously swollen areas are slightly sensitive and both hands are now very sensitive to the cold in general. I’ll just have to baby them for a while. So hmm, yeah. Going to bed now. I have to get up for class and tomorrow is going to be SO much colder than today.
