I passed….finally.
I just finished my second try at the gem ID final, and passed. What a relief. Some of the people in the class were on their third attempt. Well, that’s done, and now I just need to finish a one month class on synthetics, and I’ll be an accredited gemologist. The program ends November 2, but I’m going to take a class in computer jewelry design after that. It’s only 17 more days, so I’m just gonna go for it. My plan had been to go back to LA for a visit after school, but if I manage to get some jewelry orders for the Christmas season, I’m not going to be able to do anything from LA. I’ll know how that’s going as it gets closer to November. The other thing is I can’t just fly back to LA, or I have to change the name of my blog to “Mikey goes round the world someday”. I could just fly to LA by way of Europe (Amsterdam…?)….like I said I’ll know more as I get closer to the end of school.
Aside from being busy as hell, life is really good. Every weekend in Jomtien is a really nice break from Bangkok. Hanging with Harvey and Sage every Friday night at The Flying Dolphins has turned into an institution. Iro the owner came up to us last Friday to tell us that Friday nights are “Mikey Night”. It’s kinda like Friday in LA, but I get to feed Elephants, and the only time I have to talk to the cops is when their having a drink with me.
