I have managed to finally get my ducks in a row, now I just have to wait until the pond is unfrozen. January 3rd I will test out of all of the sections of cosmetology and, if successful, I will then start my internship at the salon where I was promised a job. After two months, I will go take the state boards and then be finished with this chapter of schooling. I heard a commercial on the radio yesterday about how another college is teaming up with the local branch here in town to offer a Master's program in Counseling. As soon as I heard this, I thought it sounded like something I'd be good at. Everyone talks to me and I seem to be able to come up with the right things to say to help them with whatever they are going through. Eh, who knows. I really still want to do the Master's in Library Science...
I talked to an old friend last night who is getting his Master's in Birmingham, AL. I asked if he knew anyone before moving...Nope. It was just him and his dog. This is yet another example of some gutsy people I know. On another subject entirely, my mom is in this program called couchsurfing. If you have never heard of it, check it out! People send her messages asking to stay for a night or two as they are traveling across the country. She has had some amazing people come to visit. It is a great way to travel if you dont want to pay the extremely high prices of hotels. I haven't enrolled myself yet, but keep thinking it sounds like a great thing to do.
I got all of my Christmas cards into the envelopes and all of the envelopes addressed. Now I just have to find where I put those pesky stamps!
Found the stamps, hit the post office because apparently between now and the last time I used these Christmas stamps, the rate has increased three cents. Then I went to the Goodwill, Salvation Army Thrift store and UMC Thrift store and found some absolutely amazing treasures. Also, I managed to convince Jody and mom that the library was a top priority. I got eight classics to read as well as three just for fun books. Mom and I are going to have a race after we read our classics, because we happened to find two classics for sale of the same book. We are going to have a reading challenge. haha seemed like a good idea at the time and it's probably the only way we are going to get through some of these books. Her reading is coming from the top books on NPR's book list, while mine are coming from the BBC's Big Read list. No more smut for me, until I can knock some of the classics out!
