Today’s the Day
I have an announcement to make…
*Ahem*
Today I have OFFICIALLY paid 100% of my tuition IN FULL for Esthetician school! I paid the portion I owed to the school before I even started school. Then I began chipping away at my student loans until they were gone. Now I’m a little over halfway done with school (I graduate July 3rd) and I am PAID IN FULL BITCHES!!! Technically, the student loans don’t even become active until after I finish. I guess Uncle Sam will have one less student to worry about then.
WOO HOO!
The Endless Day
I think I may have gotten a full-night’s sleep last night. It appears as if all my mental faculties have returned. Last night in the clinic I kept my fingers crossed that I wouldn’t be assigned a client. I was so tired, I felt certain that I would screw up something.
The only thing that sucks about being punctual and dependable when it comes to the MM clinic is that you’re almost certain to be assigned to the very first clients on the schedule… sometimes more, depending on how many students show up.
Sure enough, I was… AND they put me in the Vichy (pronounced VEE-SHE) Room. NOBODY likes to do treatments in the Vichy Room.
The Vichy Room was originally designed as a shower room for body treatments. The bed rocks and isn’t like the others. Since we don’t typically do a lot of body treatments, the room is used for supply storage and students leave their personal items there. Massage also uses the room in the same manner.
After a ten-minute wait, I begin to think my client isn’t coming, which is a bit of a relief… But then she appears…
She was cute as a button, loved the treatment, and I was able to relieve the soreness in her shoulders that she was complaining about from working at her computer. I don’t usually do all that much complicated massage, but I tried something I’d learned from a few friends who are massage therapists and it worked like a charm. My confidence in my massage skills is building. This rocks!
Then I did laundry and the cute 20-year-old massage student boy who keeps flirting with me told me that I look like Sandy from Grease.
I always make him do laundry with me when he comes back there, but still… he lingers. And ya know… I really don’t think I mind looking like Olivia Newton John in her prime. Nope. NOT ONE BIT!
After the treatment, one of the 3rd quarter students tinted my lashes and gave me a mini-facial. This was EXACTLY what the Doctor ordered! Not only did I get to rest and get off my feet for a little while, but since my face was cleansed, I could just go home and pass out!
That was the longest day ever!
And last week I signed up with Robin’s friend the vegan chef to have these healthy smoothies made (2 per day). The green one tastes like grass. She made one for me to drink for breakfast EVERY DAY!!! This is how I look drinking it.
We made a deal. No more green stuff. I’m gonna try it for another week and see how I feel. Right now my fridge is full of smoothies (unfortunately, most are green).
