ch-cha-cha-changes

I'm making today the day that I look into school extensively. I'm going to do the cosmetology program at the technical college. I will have to get details and do the dirty work (look into grants/loans.. ugh! can't express my anxiety about that enough). And I will have to map out a plan of action.

The change scares the crap out of me. As it is, I don't have much me-time.. but when I start school I will be SUPER pressed for time. But I have to remember there will be a light at the end and that it's what I want to do long-term. I'm cut out for being a hairstylist/colorist. I feel it in my blood.

I am very comfy with my current job, though, I have to say. They've worked with my schedule and been good to me. I have amazing benefits. I get paid very well (which is another worry for post-school -- will I make enough money??). BUT - ultimately, I know that I want to do something creative and in my wavelength, something more rewarding on a personal level, and more "Me".


So I just have to make take all of the steps in order to get what I want in the end.
It's going to be an interesting journey. And scary.

Also, my mother in law is talking about retiring at the end of this school year, so that would free her up to help us with Drake after-school and such if it were needed if I'm in school, etc.

Can't say how scary this idea is. but also exciting.
Nothing worth doing is easy as someone once said. It is true.
