Beginning my career

Today is my baby's two month birthday. Hard to imagine two months ago I was holding her for the first time. Pretty awesome.
But this post is not about that. Well not exactly. 15 months ago I enrolled in cosmetology school. My plan was to go through school, graduate, take my test right away and begin working asap. However, on the first day of my second semester I found out I was pregnant. That changed my plans a bit (as previously mentioned). The new game plan became go to school as much as possible to graduate as soon as possible so I would be done by the time she arrived. The subsequent months were exhausting, though it made my cosmetology school time fly by. Before I knew it I was hugging my school mates farewell and packing my giant school case into my trunk one last time. I loved and hated my time at school all at the same time. I somehow managed to finish with a 4.0 but not without a fare amount of literal blood, sweat and tears shed. I am so glad I went when I did and now I have a really exciting career to look ahead to. All I have left is to take my test.
You see the state board licensing procedure is as follows. State board written test must score 70% or higher. I took that test and passed. The next step is to schedule and take my practical test and must score 70% or higher. Once that is completed I will be able to begin searching for a job. I feel confident in my skills but am oddly nervous about failing. It's been so long since I was in school... and I really care a lot about my score. So what they tell you as long as you pass that's all that matters. Its true I suppose but wouldn't passing with a 98 feel better than barely making it with a 70? Who am I kidding as long as I have my license who care what the score is.

The next step for me is to go to school practice my skills one last time then go and take my test. After that I will begin the process of job hunting (which I sincerely hope doesn't take too long)
My ultimate goal is to do formal hair for weddings/proms etc so I can work on the weekends and Drew could stay with her then, and I could stay home with my baby during the day. To be able to stay with my angel would be a dream come true.

As this road progresses I will update on here but for now I have a haircut  to do:)
