As usual, since my program hasn’t started yet and I’m still over a month out before check in, there isn’t much to post about. However, I have started on a few different things and had some things happen.
First thing is the roomie situation! I’ve had my group of 6 girls picked out for a while now and I was actually pretty confident with my choices besides one girl. Something about her rubbed me wrong, but I felt bad because she was the one who put me into the group of awesome girls, minus our last roommate who I picked out. I thought I was the only one who felt weird about her, just because of her very negative and bad habits, as well as her constant need to one up everyone in a negative tone. Then, one of my roommates messaged me asking me if I felt comfortable with her in the group. Turns out everyone all agreed that she was going to harm the living situation. At this point, I felt bad because we were essentially going to gang up and kick out this girl, but in the long run it was going to be the best for everyone. She still had two months to find and figure out other roommates. Luckily my one roommate was able to send her the message. Turns out it was her THIRD group that she had been “kicked out” of, so I feel soooo much better getting that done. I know how awkward and awful roommate drama can be, especially due to my situation in London with my disgusting floor mates, so I feel confident in our choice.
That being said, right now we are down to 5 of us instead of 6. This means we will likely have to get one room as a triple. Or, we’ll have to go random for the 6th. I’m so afraid of getting the random girl we kicked out on random though! However, I love the 5 of us and we all really gel well together (so far). I know roommates are never perfect and we’ll butt heads, but I’m happy that we’re all just finished with school and have experience living away from our parents house for a while unlike a lot of the younger participants. We also all love wine! Haha
The next thing I’ve been focused on is getting outfits for Traditions & training and all that jazz. This should be a super simple task, but theres two problems:
1. I do not own or wear anything business casual & all of my job interviews for the most part have been with artists or at studios where the person interviewing me is usually super casual.
Luckily, my mom is a saint and my big christmas present was her picking out a bunch of business casual outfits for me from Macys! She got me some great pairs of pants and found me a blazer. Two pairs didn’t fit, so we went to Macys and tried on a BUNCH of clothes. I ended up with:
a blue blazer (to go with my polka dot blouse)
this AMAZING long floral skirt
a pair of pin strip pants that I love
They can all be mixed together and it’s perfect. I just need to pick up some thick black tights so I can wear my skirt. I also just found a pair of black loafers that will be perfect! I’m starting to break them in already and they’ll match with everything.
The last thing I need to figure out just in general is tattoo cover up for the one behind my ear. I can cover it with my hair, but I would rather be able to put it up and stuff!
I’ve started my packing list and started picking up some things in bulk, like makeup wipes that I found on sale in a four pack! I want to have the general stuff like shampoo and whatnot here and just take it in my car so I can spend as little money as possible.
Anyway, that’s my latest on my DCP journey!!
