On a job. It was great working with these girls. The holidays have officially passed. Well, kind of. We still have New Years and then the holidays will have passed. This December is a bit more special than the previous ones for me. I am officially a certified makeup artist! Feels pretty damn good to be able to do something I've loved since I was kid. I graduated on the 23rd of this month. I still remember the first day of school very clearly. I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to go to school. It was almost like a job. Monday through Friday 9-4. Due to the schedule I took a leave from work and Mr.Andrade was the one tackling on all the bills alone. As much as he said he didn't, I know he stressed. I felt terrible seeing him try to fake a smile from time to time when I knew he had a lot on his mind. I am eternally grateful to him for helping me make my dreams a reality. I make sure to tell him thank you all the time. I think he's actually getting an...

I can't believe its going to be almost a month since I last blogged. Kind of bums me out considering I enjoy doing it so much. True, sometimes I have no idea what to talk about so I just blog gibberish but at least I'm blogging. I guess since I started going to school I find myself busier than when I was at work. I guess due to homework and what not. I also tend to hang out at my mom's quite a bit. Either way I should attempt to at least enter one entry per week. I have talked about wanting to do makeup  in the past and well, I am finally doing it! I am currently going to school to become a certified makeup artist. I almost didn't go due to financial reasons. The master course I originally wanted to take was out of my budget. I looked around and everywhere else seemed to be more expensive. I almost gave up hope but decided to give it one more look. Voila! There it was, the professional course. It was within my budget and included almost everything the master cours...

Lately I've found myself getting frustrated at work. I go through phases where I like my job, I hate my job or I'm bored with my job. I'm currently going through the frustrated/bored at work phase. Frustrated is a new one. I don't think I've ever felt so frustrated at work till now. I think I feel frustrated because there is a lot I want to do but have the worst work hours ever! I go in to work too late in the morning to do anything before and get off too late in the evening to do anything after. I'm also frustrated because I know what I want to do with my life and again work stops me. This might seem like an excuse (and maybe it is) but at this time I don't have the option of quitting. I feel stuck and it's such a terrible feeling. I want to go to school and get a degree so I can be a counselor. I also want to go to cosmetology school to be a make up artist. My heart is more in the make up field rather than counseling but, you always need a plan b. Do...
