Update

I start my internship on Wednesday. It turns out that our training was extended for some logistical matters, but things turned out okay. Interviewed on Friday, and got word today that I start Wednesday. I’ve been so fortunate to have had all paid internships in the past, so I’m really happy that this is one of them. The experience is great, but the money is just Parmesan cheese on my pizza (yeah, I went there.)
While I was at the keep America Beautiful Cleanup a couple weeks ago, one of the organizer’s husband approached me about an internship. I’m currently staying up-to-date on that one too. I have guaranteed work for the spring, summer, and this new opportunity.

Last Thursday, my friend and I were asked to participate in a round table with Senator Blumenthal (One of CT’s senators), with a focus on reinstating previous effective labor laws, and job readiness programs. I was really honored that I was one of the two chosen to speak on behalf of my peers.

I’m doing the makeup for a theatrical rendition of Monster by Walter Dean Myers. It’s not a glamorous story, so no sparkles. More like, making someone look pale, sickly, inserting a mole, a scar - that sort of thing.

I’m actually sticking to this exercising thing. At first my body was like, “girl, sitchoo ass down and have a twinkie,” (never had one, and don’t plan on it) but I started getting into it again. I play Tennis every chance I get. It’s so sad to see no one using those new courts. They are so…new…and beautiful.

My birthday is coming up, and I dunno, I’m excited. It’s different this time, a good different.

I haven’t always been as aggressive as I should’ve been when opportunities were presented, but I’m truly grateful that I’m able to take advantage of what has been given. I don’t think they could’ve come at a better time.

Once again, I'm waiting for my nails to dry. I've decided to finally turn my room into an art gallery. I've been meaning to for awhile now. I'm working on my creative writing. Looking for inspiration - whether it's fashion, writing, poetry, visual art, cooking, anything. The snow has melted, so my spirits are definitely up. I regained momentum again for my "toning plan". I'm going to go to Zumba classes more and start jogging again now that we actually have sidewalks. I'm just ready for my internship to start. Things are going good, and I'm hoping that it continues to be as positive and uplifting as it has been.

So, like I promised myself, I went to church today. I missed everyone and they were happy to see me, so I'm actually gong to be hanging out with a few members on Friday. Progress, it's lovely.

Rambling

- I want to get into doing make up again but I don't have a camera, so that seems pointless to me. I had the money to get one awhile ago but, as always, I prioritized and decided it could wait.
- I guess you can say I'm going through my "fuck school" phase right now. I'm not a bad student nor do I hate school, I'm just really annoyed by all the unnecessary things I have to cover that are unrelated to my interests.
- It's a funny thing when you realize you're turning into the opposite of what you imagined as a little girl. I've turned into the tofu eating-natural hair wearing-extra conscious-peace and blessings to all kinda girl, and I couldn't have it any other way. I'm really starting to realize that everyone is not going to like the positive changes you make it in your life, but as long as you see growth in yourself, people's opinions will always be secondary.
- I'm trying to make a conscious effort to detox myself from a lot of the things I've grown accustomed to. For example, I want to curse less. Try different kinds of foods, incorporate more blazer and boots into my wardrobe, you know, trying to change it up.
- I haven't been to church in awhile. I could blame it all on the snow that's been falling over the weekends, but that'd be a lie. Honestly, I don't know where I stand right now spiritually, but I'm going to make an effort. So, I'm going to church tomorrow.
- Lately, I've been having a lot to write about, but I've been really lazy when it comes to writing. I just feel drained, like I've said all of this before. Again, I'm going to make an effort to write more frequently on here.
- I'm actually going to cut this list short. I'm tired. I finished The Five People You Meet in Heaven earlier. It was a good read, a lot of quotables. I'm typing this so my nude nail polish will finish drying.
