Today was my last day of cosmetology school for three and a half months. I'm so glad. I just need a break! That'll give me plenty of time to get all moved and settled in. And time to enjoy the new pool at the apartments :) And give me time to think about what I really want to do. I really thought this was the path for me, but now I'm not so sure. I don't know if it's just the school, the fact that I'm not learning anything, or that I just don't like doing hair. I wish I could afford to go to an awesome school where they actually teach you things. Here, they just teach us the basics and expect us to figure out the rest. Even simple stuff that they could easily let us know... Like, the last two sets of highlights I've done, I didn't like. I used bleach and they both turned out orange. I didn't even know if I was supposed to use bleach or color. After that, I had no idea what toner to use. Obviously if the hair is orange, you'd use purple toner... But do you mix that? How long do you leave it on? These are all things that the instructors need to tell us BEFORE they send us out on the floor to work on clients. So I don't know what I'm going to do. Right now, I'm thinking I'm just gonna take this break, and go back in the fall, hopefully refreshed. Maybe I can do my own research to learn the things that the instructors aren't teaching.
We go to sign the lease at the apartments tomorrow at noon. I'm so beyond excited. These apartments are soo nice! Brand new, no one's ever lived there. Hardwood floors, brand new appliances, vaulted ceilings. I'm so ready to have my own space again. Ready to not have my towels and food stolen ;) It's hard living with teenage boys! I think it'll be good for mine and Ben's relationship too. We've both been stressed out since we've lived in the current house. We just don't have enough space. We can't really even cook dinner because my mother's bedroom door is practically in the kitchen and the walls are paper thin. And my husband isn't exactly quiet.
Now all I'll have to do is find a job. I've applied at 10 places. I think on monday I'll call them all to check in. I hope I can find something that doesn't suck too bad. I want to make at least $1,000 a month, I don't think that's too much to ask for. I think the one I really want is at Joann (fabric and crafts). That is sooo right up my alley. Or Sally, but those ladies were really rude so I don't see that happening. I would love a desk job, as long as I don't have to sell anything or collect debts. I've tried both of those and they both ended quite unsuccessfully. I'll keep my fingers crossed for something decent.
You would really benefit at Diamonds! I went there and I can answer all those questions for you! Mycah, not sure if you knew her but she was at Grayson also and easily transferred to Diamonds. I think it is just a grand or two more AND they except Financial Aid too! They teach you the basics BUT you end up learning so much more! We drove by the apartments you are talking about because one. we live in plano so we didn't know about them except EVERYONE kept talking about them so when we were in the area one weekend we drove by... SOOOOOO CUTE! Have you ever thought about a job leasing Apartments? I always wanted to do that, plus great discounts on apartments!
