Back in school!

Guess who's the newest student at the Gemological Institute of America? Me! And the other girls at work! Charlotte, Jessica, Autumn, and I have started our training with GIA to become certified to color and clarity grade diamonds. I've already finished my first class. It was pretty simple so I thought that the rest of the classes would be a breeze- WRONG! For the next 15 months (or hopefully less) I will be learning all about the history of diamonds, which is the most BORING subject ever, but it's going to be worth it in the end. After I pass my online final, we have a lab on 5th Ave. in New York for five days! I can't wait for this once in a lifetime opportunity but there is one little problem.... How am I supposed to leave my little Emery for a whole week? I hate to think about it so I guess I'll just cross that bridge when I come to it.


This is just how bored Autumn and I get on Saturdays. We pose with our textbooks. Lame, we know.


Our HUGE text book. That's a lot to learn!

I hope everyone has a safe and happy weekend! I'll have my head in the books. Maybe :)
