Change

I feel like I'm slowly starting to change.  A lot of that has to do with getting my butt back in college.  

I'm more serious about school than I have ever been.  I still have my flaws but I'm starting to prioritize my time much more and I spend a lot less time procrastinating!

I pay more attention to how I look.  I've kinda lost all fashion sense due to my job.  My uniform is an ugly, unflattering red polo shirt and a red visor.  It's just totally unflattering.  A few of my co-workers and I have realized that we lose a few boob sizes when we wear our uniforms.  I work a lot so I'm used to throwing on jeans and comfy shoes and maybe a tank top to wear under my uniform.  I try to wear cute shoes but there's only so much I can do.  I've started painting my nails more and that's been fun.  Technically I'm not supposed to wear nail polish due to my job but my bosses don't care and as long as the health department doesn't notice, it's all good.

Since I spent a lot of time in school I'm slowly starting to dress how I've always wanted to. I don't really know how to describe it but I'm starting to dress a lot nicer.  I have a few nice sheer button ups, nice legging and a lot of awesome shoes.  Oh my God I love shoes.  I have a lot of boots that are amazing.  I have another pair of boots on my way for Jenn that I'm super excited about getting.  I've also picked up some bags that are rather nice.  I've had a lot of fun playing with accessories.

experimenting with makeup.  I bought purple lipstick.  I normally wouldn't try it but I was looking at a fashion blog and this girl shared photos or herself with purple lipstick on and I decided to give it a go.  I pull it off nicely.  I picked a nice shade of purple for my skin tone but I think it's not an everyday type of lipstick.  It would be better for nights out.

I've gotten rid of more hair!  I FINALLY got more of my hair chopped off and the entire left side of my head is shaved.  I really love it.  My friend did it and I trust her.  She asked me if she could do some stuff to my hair and I told her to do whatever she wanted to it.  She gave me some cool layers.  She cut my bangs :(  I didn't think about it but I should have told her to do whatever she wants to BUT don't mess with my bangs.  I wanted to grow them out but that's totally my fault for telling her not to cut them.  Not sweating it :)

Last night I couldn't sleep so I spent a good while looking up volunteer opportunities in my area and I found a lot of great organizations.  I sent out some applications and I'm hoping to hear from them soon.  This would be great to add to resume since it is seriously lacking.  

I feel like I'm finally starting to get my life together and it feels good.  I'm paying off debts which was one of my goals for this year.  It's exciting to see the numbers go down every month.  I'm not working as much as I usually did due to school so I'm kinda broke most of the time but right now it's important that I start to get my life together.  I don't work 6-7 days a week anymore like I did for so long.  I work 4-5 days a week now.  I just need some time to adjust to making less money.  

ANYWAYS.  Even though February started off so rough with family problems, I think I'm starting to get my life back on track and those events are really pushing myself to do the best I can.  I think 2012 will be a great year for my family and I
