I have recently returned from my interview at the beauty school, and I was accepted, passed the tests, filled out the paperwork, wowed them with my exceptional interview skills. I was super nervous, but mostly because I am just anxiety prone, not because I was really that intimidated by it. I understand that it is a huge commitment and that I am making a big decision, but it feels really perfect to be doing this now. I have the support I need to be able to be successful, and I am driven to make a career for myself.
I'm so excited to have had such a great experience with them right from the start, it gives me hope that this school is the right choice for me. It is certainly expensive, but I am going to get so much out of it, and it is such a unique learning environment. They have really small classes, which means that everyone is very close to the instructors as well as each other. It's a beautiful facility, and it's close to my house, so getting there at 8:15 won't be such a challenge.
Oh, I was rejected by the sleep study, because I take medication on a daily basis, I am not a good test subject. It's probably for the best though, because it would have been hard to commute to and from the east bay for all the tests and interviews and therapy involved in the study. I was admittedly a bit disappointed, but I'm ok now.
To reward myself for being so productive and organized lately I am going to watch the latest episode of Gossip Girl before making my shopping lists and heading to the store. Thanksgiving was getting a little stressful to plan, but I have decided to just let go of any anxiety around the holiday and accept that it is going to be whatever it ends up being. And it's going to be great I hope. Mom and Dad are coming, as well as a bunch of friends. I need to figure out what we will all be eating though, which I am clearly avoiding.
The piece I started writing a few days ago is still not finished. I know I said I would post whatever I had, but I think I am going to wait until it's a bit further along in development.
If I don't get a chance to post before Thanksgiving, have a happy holiday.
xo,
