or did it get disrupted by the break in school? who knows, but I am getting lazy and feeling like I have to do things. I deserve to do more things for myself, even though I am doing more now than I was. in the shower today, I was thinking how much I more I’m craving “off time”, time for myself. I know I am doing a lot, and the balance feels off, though I’m thoroughly aware all of the work would not balance out the play during this part of my journey. I am enjoying it and have to remember that.

the week started off strong with two mornings off (yesterday and today), so all I had was school. it’s been a huge help and obviously much more fun being able to stay up later and slack on my disciplines, like my blog. I’m falling behind easier, not wanting to keep up. I know it’s important to keep everyone in the loop though in hopes you all come here to get on the same page in my journey. today has been a wonderful weather day, opposite of the rainy day we had yesterday. I’m really not emotionally prepared for the cold. am I ever? at least outside, it was easier to adjust my body to.

back to work tomorrow to begin my week there. school has been boring overall. we learned neck shaving and got to practice on each other. it was much easier than I thought it would be and much less scary with the blade in it as well. today, we did a project on body systems where we had to outline a person onto a big sheet, then draw all the parts of said system. ours was the immune system, which we ended up not actually having anything for in our book, so I just found something from the world wide web. oh, got my neck shaved yesterday too which was nice. anyway, today, was severely boring after we finished that project. we also had to draw out the head and facial bones on a foam head. I’m fully unprepared for this test, truthfully. I really hope it’ll be easier than I expect it to be. I did a wet set after those projects, took the whole thing out, then did not know what to do or want to do the couple of things I have left on my signature sheet. the only things I have, I think, are finger waves, and shampoos, which is easily attainable before next friday. overall, I don’t actually feel like I’m learning much, unfortunately. I know I just have to get through all of this for my state board licensing, but it’s a lot to shove into my brain at once. doing the chapters in a week doesn’t help either, plus work. it’s all quite a bit.

hoping to keep up a little better with this so I don’t have to catch yall up on so much at once. but anyway, onward, into the big world.
