i'm done, i'm done, i'm done!!

so i finally finished school...phew!!  oh, and i was the valedictorian ;)  what a long, emotional ride that was.  if i could go back in time and make some other decisions regarding this stretch of education i would, but alas it is over and i couldn't be happier. don't get me wrong, i love what i am doing, but i would have chosen a different place to have gone.  i am sooooo not aveda.  most of the products suck, and the ones that don't i still don't love them enough to ever buy them again.  their cutting technique is just whack compared to newer methods such as bumble and bumble, but hey in reality cosmetology school is just to get you through your exams.  i do know that i probably learned more than a lot of other freshly trained hair stylists, but that all has to do with what i did with it.  lots of self research and training played a role in that.  so, no i register to take my board exams to get licensed and get started with my new career.  kinda daunting really.  i had never planned on staying in tucson after graduation, but i think it would be easier to get out of the giant hole of debt here rather than dealing with another move in the midst of all the other changes that are taking place at the moment.

in other news, i have decided to look into going to al anon at the advice of a friend.  she said that it has saved her relationship with her alcoholic boyfriend.  what have i got to lose, right?  things are clearly not going to change in this marriage unless i take a more proactive stance.  i suppose at this point i am the only one who can do something about it.  after all, it is his problem not mine right?  i just need to learn how to cope with it until i am in a better personal financial situation where i can decide what will be best for both of us in the long term.  i try really hard to stay positive, but it gets so hard sometimes...

been reading a couple books this month:



haven't finished either one just yet, but am enjoying them both.
