Constantly pondering...

So I've been doing a lot of thinking about what it is I want to do with my life. There's always been the option of going back to nursing school to get my LPN or RN. I also would love to do cosmetology or make-up artistry. After a lot of thinking (and more thinking), I am seriously considering going to beauty school. It's something I really love doing. I've been a CNA (certified nurses aide) for almost four years and I still haven't gotten any ambition to go back to nursing school. I know I'd be good at it, my heart's just not in it.

What really got me thinking is when I thought about going to this Glaminar (make-up seminar) in November. I thought to myself, "why can't I do this?". I mean, I'm really good at doing my own makeup and love doing hair. When I'm at work, I always get compliments on how beautiful my makeup is. A lot of people I've been talking to agree that I should go for it, including Ben. I love that he is willing to completely support me in anything I choose to do. My mom on the other hand, would be disappointed if I chose this line of work. She's always wanted me to be a nurse. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the work I do as an aide. I just don't know if I could do it and be happy.

So, my first step to possibly going to this Glaminar was complete: I got the days off that I needed from work. Now, I just have to wait until I get paid on the 21st to see if I can afford it and if there are any tickets still available. It's on November 13 in Reno, NV. I would have to go alone, but I'm alright with that.

There are two different classes and if I'm going to travel almost 3,000 miles, I'm going to both! I would want to go to both regardless of where it was held. Kandee, the woman who's running these events, have them in a lot of big cities. This one happen to fall on a weekend I would have off. I am up for this adventure! She's going to teach everything there is to becoming a makeup artist and how to apply perfect makeup. I've been following her blog for a few years now and the thought of actually meeting her and going to this is surreal. It's a now or never thing because she's pregnant and won't be holding another Glaminar until god knows when! Let's hope everything works out because if it does, I'll be in Reno this time next month!! :)
