just another manic monday

yep, that was my day. i wasnt late for anything (shocker!) but it was a hectic day nonetheless. the worst part of the whole day was the fact that i got less than two hours of sleep last night. i just could NOT fall asleep. hopefully i wont have that problem tonight!

so my books cost $275.00 and my kit cost $415.00.  *pulls hair out* i also have to have black scrubs (i wish someone had shared THAT bit of info with me before today so i could have prepared, those things aint cheap!) everywhere in vidalia and the surrounding areas are sold out of my size in that particular color so i have to drive all the way to statesboro to get them! i called ahead though to make sure they were in stock; they were, and the lady was kind enough to put them in the back for me. how nice of her! it's good to know that there are still people in this world who can be nice to strangers. i know that may not seem like much of a feat of kindness to some folks, but it is to me. i see so little of it in public today.

i dont know if i've expressed it here yet, but i am really excited about learning this new trade. i wanted to go into cosmetology as a teenager but i never did. well, it was a tossup between teaching and cosmetology. i didnt have the money to do either one so i just worked. eventually i had children and my dreams of education got pushed into the back corners of the attic. now though i'm able to pursue my dreams, both of them. i want to teach cosmetology but first i have to learn it and practice it. i want to teach, period, and i want to actually DO cosmetology so i decided to combine them. how smarticle of me!

i got to meet my classmates today; we are the junior cosmetology class. most of them seem like they are pretty well rounded and easy going. i am going to reserve most of my thoughts about them and see how they are once i get to know them better though. first impressions arent always accurate, either good or bad. but we all have to get along because for the next 16 months we will be together for 7 hours a day, 4 days a week. it'll be like a job or a family. i hope also that i am pleasant enough for them to be around; i know that sometimes i can be irritating. i hope i dont make a fool out of myself too often.

anyway, that was my day in a nutshell. i'm so tired and i still have some reading to do so i guess i'll get on that; that book isnt going to read itself!

taa-taa for now.....

a new day

tomorrow i start back to school. this is going to be a long stint, 4 months, so i probably wont have as much free time as i did during the summer transition quarter. hopefully it wont affect my blogging though. i'm sure i'll have something to say about something, i always do.

i also talked to my boss and he doesnt need me on sundays anymore so that little bit of money is gone. he said he would let me work some in the evenings during the week but i've worked with him long enough to know when he's brushing someone off. maybe i'm wrong, i hope i am.

amberly and lucas start school tomorrow too. amberly is a junior and lucas is a sophomore already. it's so hard to believe they are so grown up! it seems like just yesterday i was taking them to preschool. *sniff sniff* it's no longer "mama can i have fifty cents to buy an ice cream?"....now it's "mama i need fifty dollars for band stuff"....*double sniff sniff* i love those kids with all my heart though, i wouldnt trade them for anything. they are both so much like me....THAT part i dont like sometimes lol. they got my good traits, for which i'm ecstatic, but they also got my bad traits, which is the source of much strife in our household. LOL top it off with the fact that they're both teenagers and wooo-boy it's never a dull moment around here, let me tell you!!
