Life Update:
I was going to sit down and derail on some meaningless topic, but as I began to drive into blog attempt #1, I realized that there was a life update that I have not posted about yet...
I enrolled in school exactly one week ago tomorrow, well probably today by the time I get to posting and you actually read this.
For those of you who don't know: I'm starting at the Professional Cosmetology Institute here in Ames on November 15th. I am PUMPED! For the first six or seven weeks I will be in class all day every day, then starting in January sometime I will be in the salon from 9-noon Monday-Thursday and 9-4 Saturdays.
It's an exciting time of life for me. I feel like I've been sitting around for the last two years figuring out what I am going to do with the rest of my life, and waiting for the right time to do it. But, in exactly two months, life is going to change a lot... and I'm completely excited for the endless possibilities of it all.
One strange thing to note though is that my school, referred to as PCI from hencesforth, has just agreed to be sponsored by Redken. Now, Redken is a line of professional products for those of you who shop solely at Target. Funny, but anywho, I've not ever found myself to be particularly found of their products, and I'm not sure why. So, part of me was not necessarily excited about the thought of it, but eh, I think it's probably like having to wear the team shoes because they are the ones everyone else has. I think I'll probably get excited about Redken soon enough.
Anyway, I am excited about school, not only for the general coolness factor of it all, but also because I feel like I'm going to school to learn a life-skill, something completely tangible that I can use the rest of my life to benefit other people in some way as well as support myself as the need arises to indeed, have money.
I'm moderately anxious about school because I know I'm going to change throughout the whole thing and I'm not really sure how. I'm intrigued because I know that I'm going to turn into 'salon girl' with funky hair and seemingly perfect amke-up all the time. What will happen to the girl I am who will go for days with no make-up if I'm just too lazy? There will be no room for laziness in my life.... oh wait! Maybe this'll be a good thing...
But anyway, be ready, 'cause I am. Well, there's one thing I'm not ready for: the uniform. I can where whatever I want, which is good... but it all has to be black... which, is debateable. But, remember it's not my choice, and I'm not grieving (except for the loss of 'free' time). I'm just embarking on new territory.

way to go! But remember you are not considered useful because of what you do you are useful because of what you are... and that is a child of God!
