So I guess today is my actual first day as a "Hopeful". Wee! Maybe people will like my set, maybe they won't. I know what I need to improve on and I plan on giving this a shot until I can't shoot no' mo'z.
I started my new job in the salon today. I had a lot of fun, since I learned some new cutting techniques and whatnot. My manager seems to pretty much rock, so that is going to make me a lot more "at-ease" while I work there. I go back in tomorrow from 4 til closing, which should be interesting. After I got out of work about 2, my day going so fantastic so far, I walk over to the book store next door and sat down to call my mom at work to let her know I was off, and they told me she had left for the day..which was odd to me since she doesn't get off til 3:15. I called her cell and asked her why in the hell she was off so early, and she hesitated and told me my uncle had passed away last night. I think I yelled "WHAT DO YOU MEAN?!", but I don't remember our conversation much after that since I was in so much shock. He'd been ill for 18 years with heart problems, and had developed severe diabetes, and recently was diagnosed with lung cancer. It's so hard for me to imagine what would go through someone's head when they know they are ridden with so many problems. I would probably feel sorry for myself and know I shouldn't, but I felt sorry for him, and at that point, broke down.

Today has definitely been a fine example of the dynamics of life. It never ceases to amaze me how quickly change can take a firm grasp on your life and twist it as it pleases...
