My first time...

giving a facial. What did you think I meant?
Tomorrow will be my first attempt at giving a facial to a fellow classmate. I'm looking forward to it and I'm a bit nervous. I know this probably doesn't seem like a big deal. I'm not performing open heart surgery for God sakes but still... it's new to me. It's important that I do well and remember all the hand movements correctly and use the products in the right order etc. I'm hard on myself so I really want to do well. Lets hope I don't make a fool out of myself. Weeeeeee

Marinello Monday

Well, I did it. I enrolled at Marinello Beauty School. I hope to do well in the Esthetics program, which is skin care. I start Tuesday but the orientation is on Monday. I will go full-time for 7 months. Hopefully the fact that I'm twice everyone's age there won't bother me. Hopefully I will be able to pass tests and hopefully I'll pass the CA state exam when the time comes. Hopefully I'm making the right decision. I won't know unless I try. Wish me luck y'all.

I think I can, I think I can.
I think I have finally figured out what I'm supposed to do. After working more than 20 years as an assistant, I have been struggling to find a job since moving to the AV. Then it hit me. Beauty school! I've always wondered if I would like working in that industry. I've always been interested in skin care, especially after selling Avon last year. I have looked into nearby schools and my favorite is Marinello. It's really close to home which is an added bonus. I have filled out an enrollment form. The next step will be meeting with someone at the school and taking a tour. I hope I can get some kind of financial aid. I am excited to have a goal and something in my future to work towards. I feel like I've been floundering around, unsure of what I should do, what I could do. So hopefully with some time, money and commitment six months from now I will be an Esthetician.

It figures.
If I had known my boss was going to leave 1 year to the week that I left than maybe, just maybe I would have stayed. I may not have bought a house and moved away from my job and all office jobs. Sometimes I wish I was able to see into the future. It sure would make life easier wouldn't it?I will have to put this behind me and start focusing again on finding some kind of job near me. That isn't easy, especially in today's job market. I'm going to try hotels next. Maybe I could be a PBX operator. That would be great! I just need something easy and kinda close to home. I've had a long commute my entire life and really don't want to do that again if I don't have to.
Gotta go update my resume.
