It has been a crazy month!! I have passed all my sophomore testing, written and practicals. I am now considered a junior, when it comes to classes. On top of that, I am about 50 hours away from being halfway done with school. This means that I am not far off in believing I can be done by August (if all gets approved by financial aid). I have little to do for requirements, and a TON of studying in prep for my junior and senior testing. It is CrAzY and amazing at the same time!!!
First, with the junior status: I am currently taking all of my junior classes and tests. I have already completed my junior nails test (93%) and Oregon Law (91%), leaving infection control, facials and career development left for tests. These will come as I finish each class. Which, due to my accelerated program, I am in classes on Mondays and Wednesdays, leaving Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays for clients. On top of that, I need to practice for a make-up practical and french tip form practical. These all have to be completed before July, when I will start my senior testing. It seems so far away, but the fact that I feel like I JUST started this journey, I know the time will pass quickly.
My requirements are being checked off quicker than I expected. Most of the items I have left to do, I have less than 5 to complete. The biggest thing I need to do is acrylic fills, which are easy on my fake fingers (those things are SOOO freaking creepy, I will not be missing them when I am done). After my requirements are done, I will be getting extra requirements under my belt, which will look AWESOME on my resume when I get ready to go out into the real world.
So far, it looks like August could REALLY happen. However, I had the bomb dropped on my that, because I am getting federal financial aid, I may not be able to graduate that soon due to how loans and grants are paid out. That is fine, as long as I am prepared for that in advance. And, that means I may just get to take a few weeks vacation and enjoy my summer still. So long as I get a few days with my kids and husband before I go back to work, I will be a happy girl.
I am still rocking out the clients Tuesdays, Thursday and Fridays. Come join me on the journey one of those nights and I can give you a discount as one of my readers. <3
As always, thanks for joining me on the journey ~S
