crazyyyyyy....i love vanessa carlton...and i was filling out a survey and one of the questions was is there a song that reminds you of an ex and it was this song called "pretty baby"...anyways i went to her myspace and heard this song that i just loved wayyy back when i had a huge crush on michael...it was like a flash back i remember sitting at the computer downstairs in my sisters room and blasting that song soo loud and being so giddy about talking to michael online i couldnt sit like a normal person, i had to kinda squat with my feet on the chair and my legs under me haha! i would practically yell the words, and now i listen to em and realize i really have always loved this boy!! he is a gift from God... THANK YOU GOD!!

the never ending story...

I'm guessing my last post left you in need of some recovery, but the story wasn't even finished... :) Yesterday was my second interview with Ivy, I got there and to my pleasant surprise, they didn't want to interview me any more, they told me they already knew they wanted me and loved my personality!!! I was so happy! So we ended up talking about when I was available to work, and my training dates! I don't think all of you reading this understand what this means to me!!! This means, first of all: i have a "real" job, as my mom would call it, second of all: from the very first day I met the women from this salon, I knew I wanted to work there, and I made it known!, and third of all hahaha: I am going to be training for like no time after I graduate, and will be granfathered in as a stylist if all goes well once I have my license! wooo! like my sister said, we are blessed...we truly are THANK YOU GOD!

i hope i can keep up with this...

i never keep up with any thing like this...and seeing my sisters and boyfriends blogs makes me want to have one...and have people that go online to read mine...so i am going to try to keep up with this! first of all...the shift key isn't working very well right now, so i am not able to capitalize my letters that should be, hope it doesn't bother you :) well hmm i guess i should talk about what's been going on in my life lately! it's been a whirl wind...school got to be really annoying and i couldn't wait for my well deserved "summer break" (wah its only 2 weeks...one of which has already flown by) ps i cant wait to start nails and esthetics, business...ehh not so much! but anyways, only this summer and the fall and the dreaded state board exam will be here before i know it! i want to tell you all about my latest development in my life...but i think it deserves it's own blog entry...although the computer thinks otherwise and won't let me "publish" this one yet...so this one will continue on!

first off, i am a person to avoid conflict, and/or anything that is outside my comfort zone...so these past few months i've really been testing myself, and let me tell you...it's been a good thing in my life surprisingly! the first thing major i did to go outside my comfort zone would be to start at a new school, with new people, in a questionable (in some peoples minds) profession! that i am definately proud of, and glad i did! next would be that i really put my self out there, to let others really get to see what i am made of, and that was the skills usa state competition for cosmetology. i am very talented in most aspects of the beauty industry, including making people feel good about themselves; and most of the time i don't get a chance to show people that. so, i joined skills usa...worked my butt off, wanted to quit (but didn't)...and encountered quite a few umm let's say problems...although i am on anxiety medicine i, and have come a long way, i didn't want to push my self too far and set myself back...by this i mean traveling to nationals and having to work my lil tush off and have no time for life to go on in the mean time. so, i had to make a compromise, i told my self i would do the state competition and do my best that i could the day of it...but the problem was what if i got first? i knew there was a good chance. i wanted to win, but i didn't want to get first because i didn't want to have to turn a huge opportunity away because of a mental dilemma! so, i worked my hardest, and prayed and prayed and asked others to pray that God's will be done, and selfishly that i would get second, because i would be happy with that place!! the day rolled around, and i knocked the ball out of the park, as the competition went on that day i really was wondering if i would win, and almost expected to. i love everyone that participated in the competition, and i truly think that if you looked at every haircut and not just the updo, that i really deserved first place. i know God really worked for me that day, because i knew i did my best and didn't hold back...and i got a huge medal, a certificate, a huge bag of prizes, and SECOND PLACE! that's right! i did it! and the salon that i REALLY wanted to work for was even there to judge!!
yay!!...speaking of that salon that judged whom i realllllly wanted to work for, it's called ivy salon and spa, they are located at thornblade and they are also building a salon downtown ON MAIN! anyway, they came to my school the other day, i was having a really bad day, and on top of that i didn't get to hear what ivy had to say, because i was in dispensary, and didn't want to leave it to get trashed. so, later that day, one of my friends asked "are you going tonight?" and i had no idea what they were talking about...it turned out that there was a group interview for ivy...THAT NIGHT! i was really discouraged...long story...about working at ivy, and didn't think about going. then one of my other friends gave me a pep talk and i stilll didn't wanna go. but on the ride home i was thinking, if i pass this up i may pass up a huge opportunity, so i rushed inside, showered, and got ready faster than ever!! the interview went unbelievably well...and it was over a week later when i found out my friend had already heard back from them, and i hadn't!! :( i tried not to get upset and say well it's okay...but it wasn't, so i wrote them an email, and it turns out before they even got my email, they had already figured out how to fix the mistake i made on my resume, and i got the email...they wanted a second interview!!!! :) yay for me!
