Hi everybody... I'm baaaaaack.. LOL!
So, I had my UCWS final with Anrol today... and man was it nerve racking... I was already nervous, I mean, this was Anrol.. the ultimate Super Model, she was what I aspire to be, and she was going to judge me... *Whew!* add to that, Murphy's Law was playing tricks on me.. and everything that could go wrong... DID!!... I tried to maintain my composure.. cause that's the mark of a true model, but wow.. it was soo hard...
So, things started about 2 hours before I took my final... I was at work and our building was rocked by a 5.9 earthquake that's epic center was about 10 miles from my house! So, I was already shaken up... Then I rushed home, cleaned up the fallen and broken items, and logged into SL to let Anrol know I was home...
I was told that my final would be... you got it... Now! OMG! I couldn't even think straight... had no time to settle and prepare, but had to TP to the Final Exam...Now!... Okay, I could do this... I would present myself as a professional model, I would overcome the obsticals.. I was determined... BTW... we are still getting really big aftershocks... But, if I had learned nothing else at CWS, it was that a Model perservered.
During the exam, I had some serious Lag issue... walking furthur that I'd planned, walking off the stage, hud issues, comm issues.. LOL! Wow! It was crazy... actually, after all that had happened today, I was surprised to even have an Internet connection, so there is a bright side to everything.
In my humble opinion, my classmates and I did a fabulous job... of course... I'm just an apprentice..LOL!.. so, my opinion and a quarter will get you a cup of coffee... *giggles* Actually, now that it's over... I had a great time.. I just wish I had calmed myself enough to actually enjoy it.
Anyway, I know this is a long post, but I wanted to take this time to give you a little insight on my fabulous CWS experience... explain how I got to where I am now... and to help you understand why this UCWS Final with Anrol is so important to me...
Check this out...
As I've mentioned before, I rezzed into SL about 3 and a half months ago... and I knew nothing about SL other than what I had read in a magazine. I was sooo green... LOL.. I didnt know how to walk, I knew nothing about AO's or skins, or even shopping... NOTHING ABOUT SHOPPING.. Can you believe it.. me the fashionista?!? Okay, okay I know you don't believe me... you need some proof...so check it out, this was me... no, really.. it was...
Only for me, something was still missing...yeah, I was having fun, I was living the high life, and yet... every time I walked past a modeling agency, every time saw the models in the stores, every time I looked at the different fashion displays...my heart ached... I wanted to be a model... but, how does someone go from a fairly popular SL Resident, to a dedicated, elegant, Model?... I didn't know... but, I was determined to find out...
After much research, I finally sent a note card to the owner and designer of one of my favorite stores, NILSY... She was awesome, she told me about modeling in SL... unfortunately; she did her own modeling... but, she was soo nice, she told me about CWS. How great it was, how serious everybody took modeling, and she gave me Anrol's name as a person to contact to get more information.
I was soo excited... I've always wanted to model... I wanted to be Michelangelo's David... but, a muse for the fashion industry... and I finally had a some direction... a way to accomplish my goal of becoming a Model... But, I still had that little issue with walking... okay, a big issue.. I could get from point A to point B, but I unintentionally detoured to points C, D, and E before I got there... boy, did I need help...
Was CWS University that good? Could they help me..the worst walker in SL?... Could they take me from the "girl who walked a crooked mile" to a sleek, accomplished straight walking model?.. Hmmm.. I had the determination and the drive, but I needed the knowledge.
Well, after 3 Weeks of UCWS, I can honestly tell you that... Yes, They Can!! LOL! I have learned soo much. I'm graceful, sleek, and can walk straighter than I ever imagined possible. Their instructors/trainers are 100% professional and dedicated to making you the best model you can be...
I won't lie, it was hard work... one of the hardest things I've done since coming to SL, but the end result is fabulous!... Heck.. I'm a little bit fabulous too... LOL! ... a little bit.. I still have a lot of growing to do, but I've come soo far.. This is me after Finals with Anrol.. Wow, huh?!? I know...
