Human Powered

Good News. . .
I get to keep my second job. I wasn't sure if it was goiong to happen since I only have 3 days of availability now with the new salon job. Which by the way the new job starts Thursday. I am really trying to prepare myself mentally for the long hours and no doubt busy, physically demanding days that lie ahead. I figure if I really prepare myself I will be less likely to complain 4 months into it. It just seems like I always have all of the energy and enthusiasm going into something, but that kind of dissipates after a while.I am counting on my passion for hair to keep me going throughout this apprenticeship. So today I am off to Sully's where I work as a hostess. It really is an easy job. It can be quite enjoyable as well. I can't lie, I also see it as a good place to find hair models.


Yesterday was a school day. Sometimes my friend Joelle will pick me up and take me. BUt when he doesn't, I walk the 2.7 miles. I am sure that once the weather turns bad I will be relying on Joelle more and more. The thing about walking is that I have so many materials that I have to bring:



There are a plethera of things in this bag that I need to take to school. It would be really great if we had lockers at school so that I can keep my supplies there. I believe that most other students leave stuff in their car. But since I am Human Powered it's not really an option for me.



You'll have to check out the new sidebar piece I am working on. I am rapidly approaching 30 and I refuse to be a person who doesn't keep up with fashion trends. And believe me there are a lot of folks in the Denver metro that have not kept up on this. There are also lots who have. The way things stand I am too poor right now cannot really attain new things on a regular basis. So for this time where I am aspiring to be a rich and famous hairdresser, I want to keep postings on what I would be wearing if I could be wearing anything. My idea is that if I at least keep paying attention I won't wake up one day and realize fashion has gotten away from me. Fashion had always been important to my self expression. I think a lot of artists feel that way. It may sound silly to some, but I tend to start to feel really depressed and unhappy if I get into working situation where there is a dress code. I I going to be one of those mothers some day that lets her kids pick their own outfits everyday. It think it is an important part of having a self-identity. Anyway the look I chose for today you can find here courtesy of Urban Outfitters. Hopefully I will finish and post the new sidebar piece soon. . .

Are you going to be doing hair, or front desk? I know you are looking to become a hairdresser, but I wasn't sure if you got your license already.
