I am officially enrolled at The Academy of Hair Design!!! I signed all the paperwork today and it felt great!! I noticed today that I didn't feel like I was signing my life away today like I did when I enrolled at Trevecca. Anyway, I'm very excited! I start December 18th and my projected date of graduation is September 30th, 2008. They have worked in an extra 100 hours for excused absences....but I'm not planning on using them. Now, if it gets really crappy this winter and they have to close the school...that is when those 100 hours come in to play. If I don't use any of those hours I'll graduate early...I'm really hoping for that! When I got back to work after enrolling, I typed up my resignation letter. It was very strange to do that. I have been at that job for 3 years and at one point actually thought that I would move up into management...so it felt very strange to actually say "I am resigning my position." In a way, it felt very liberating!! In a way, it is very frightening. I mean, I'm going from this steady job with great benefits to poor college student...again! I know that in the end I'll be much happier, but it still freaks me out a little.
Anyway, enough of that! I feel like that's all I've been talking about on this blog so far. On to new subjects!
I realized something while I was traveling over the weekend. I took a book with me for the long car rides. I thought it would last until the end of the trip...boy was I wrong. The book I read was Tuesdays With Morrie. It's a great book, but a very easy read. I realized that I was in danger of finishing very early when, after about an hour of reading, I was already half way through the book! Anyway, after reading that book so fast, I got to thinking about my reading habits this past year. I was one of those horrible students in high school that never read a single book all the way through. I would do reports with Cliff Notes or based on discussions held in class. I despised reading...until I met Harry Potter!!! I discovered the series in early 2004. I read every book leading up to the one released that year...which I think was book 5. After the 5th book, I just had to wait on the rest to come out...and there wasn't much reading in between. I made it my resolution this year to read more. In January I spent way too much money at Borders on books!! I have read a total of 6 books this year. Now, that may not seem like much...but for me it's huge!!! It probably would have been more, but the 5 months that I spent as a supervisor at work kinda made me not want to do anything at all!!
So, I'm looking for suggestions. I would like to get a couple more books in before the end of the year!! Here's a list of what I've read so far:
Wicked
Son of a Witch
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
The Five People You Meet in Heaven
Tuesdays With Morrie
The Kite Runner
If you have any suggestions, just let me know!
Peace :)

I was with you when you bought Wicked :) You should read Sex God if you are into theology books at all. It's a great book. And don't worry - by theology I don't mean that it is one of those books that will give you a headache from trying to read and comprehend it. So glad the hair school is working out for you - you are going to be a fantastic stylist :)
oh and you should read Under the Overpass - FANTASTIC book. Couldn't put it down. Ok the end.
If you like vampire books, i can hook you up with a few names, it seems thats all i've been reading lately :) One book that i would HIGHLY recommend would be the Secret Life of Bee's by Sue Monk Kidd...so good!
congratulations! you will be awesome! that's very exciting. :)
