Crap, I am exhausted.
So, I did it. I am done. I graduated. Holy shit. I am so glad it is over and, at the same time want to go back to school immediately. I am gonna miss it a lot. I really liked being able to bein that environment - learning new stuff every day and getting to really practice what I needed to. It will continue in my new job, wherever that ends up being. Having a year as an assistant means lots of continuing education so I am way looking forward to that.
I had my interview with The Doves on Monday and it all went well. They really answered my questions more than anything else. I had to hand in a 30 question interview thingy that I filled otu beforehand so they had all myinterview info (weaknesses, strengths, past work examples, etc.) so they answered my stuff. The salon opens in September but they will let us know in August and we will start working then. It will be Tuesday-Saturday, 10-6 for the most part. Minimum wage! No benefits but that isn't surprising. They just have this amazinf vision for a true team environment. They aren't looking for the uppity clientele - they want this to be an amazing salon where clients feel like they are part of the team, not like they are being waited on. That appeals to me so much. It is so much more my personality. They just seem like such good people and like they really want to create something different. I am really hoping this is the place for me. I will let you know what I hear.
Apartment news - I am moving in withmy sister Molly! We talked about it and realized it is somethng we would love to do if the space is right and we found one. I g sign the lease today and all is done. I am so excited. It's in West LA and it is beautiful. I think it's a good move.
I went way for a couple days post graduation with my mom. We went and hung at the Chumash Casino for a night and played nickel video poker. It was so much fun. We did spa treatments and gambled some more. Then we gambled some and ate. Then we gambled. Then we left. :) We wnt up to Pismo to stay with my aunt and uncle who have an RV. They bought a partial share in an RV park right on the beach that is so amazing. They get 45 days a year there and even more if they do off peak time. They are so cool. They just travel so much and have such a good time. I really like spending time with them - I wish I culd do it more. They have this whole 3 year plan. They are retiring next July then starting their journeys. They are doing a bike ride through Maine to see the fall foliage. Then they are doing an RV trip through Mexico with a group for 40 days or something. They are also travelling the country to go to every major league baseball park (my uncleis a huge baseball guy). They are gonna drive to alaska (my dream!). I might go up again before they take off at the end of the month. I also got to bond with their new Puggle puppy, Belle, and their fab chihuahua, Bean. We shared some special times. :) We did a beautiful 6 mile walk to Avila Beach. It felt so good to walk. It definitely remionded me that I would have hated it if I hadn't lost the weight. I would have been miserable. But instead, I was healthy and happy and loving it. I did get a crappy sunburn though. Stupid me.
I went back to Weight Watchers after, like, 3 months. Amazingly, I lost 1.6 pounds! I am back to being motivated. I think not being in school will help cuz I am not a slave to the vending machnes. No more crappy snacking. I want to get down 10 more by summer's end. Oh, and I have a doctor's appointment on the 20th to try and get what I need for insurance to cover surgery. We'll see what happens.
Off to a day of lease signing, old security deposit checking picking up, and general vegetation. I don't have to do much of anything over the next week except study for state board. Yay me!!!!
xxoo to y'all!
