The Wrestler

we watched the movie The Wrestler last night and it was sooo good.. and so sad. I very harsh look at the life of someone who had lived very selfishly for years and sort of pushed everyone he loved out of his life until he realized that he was old, sick, lonely and hopeless. and Even when he tried to make the things that he had broken better he couldn't.

Mickey Rourke deserves an oscar for his performance and I think Azuree and I shall start a foundation called Adopt a Wrestler!

My New Adventure

Well, I did it...
I went and took my placement test and I signed up and paid in full for my first semester of school for cosmetology at the community college down the street from where we live.
It's a big step for me and it feels really good. I am a perfectionist in many ways and a lot of times I don't do something because of the fear of not being as good as others or the fear of not being as good as I know that I could be. But I have wanted to take a step forward in living my life proactively and not being complacent. So I start next Tuesday! I bought a lunch box yesterday and I felt like a little kid again. Hmm..come to think of it, maybe I need to go pick out a first day of school outfit!
I'm a little concerned about my schedule though. I am going to be working from 10am-3pm and going straight to school and not getting off until 9:30pm on Mon-Thurs. That's almost 12 hr. days! I'm really hoping that there won't be any homework due during the middle of the week or I am going to be in trouble.. but I will try my best, and even if it is really crazy I will be graduating in a little over a year. I think it's worth it.
