Update from me

So I haven't been in the blogging habit frequently (as obvious by my last few posts).  Also by the look of all the previous posts  I have recently experienced the loss of KaraLee.  However that is not the only thing going on in my life.  The purpose of this blog is to show that I am going on even after my loss, so  maybe I should post about something other than that.  So here it goes ...

I live in Logan, two hours away from my family.  I work at a movie theater (yes I do get free movies), and I am currently a full time student.  Not at USU, as my location would leave you to believe, but at Maximum Style Tec School of Cosmetology.  This may come as a shock to some of you especially if you know that I attended the Utah County Academy of Sciences for high school.  Yes, they are vastly different.

I have always wanted to go to beauty school.  Since I was a little girl I have loved doing my own hair and make-up and I have discovered that helping other people look and feel pretty gives me the same high.  When the spit hit the fan in Nov 2010 and I was mentally unable to continue in my University studies  I thought I would take a "nice break"  an go to Cosmo school instead.  HAHAHAHAHAHA.  Nice break.  Although the curriculum is much more hands-on than at USU, It has not been necessarily easier.  All in all it was just what I needed and one of the best decisions I have made in my life.  It has been anything but easy but I am learning that  (contrary to the hokey pokey)  that's what life's all about.
