The end is only the beginning..

Its been such a good couple of months of blogging and its finally coming to an end! Isn't that fun and exciting? I have all sorts of social networks for example: YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Myspace, Yahoo, Google, and so on, and whenever I was on these networks I always saw/read about blogging but I never knew what it was about. I never really paid attention to it or bothered even trying to look in to it. When I first registered for this class I saw the word "Blog" again. I thought to myself well its time to blog! I really enjoyed doing all these blogs specially the ones that I really wanted to do. I might continue doing this blog stuff, since I'm going to be able to write whatever the blog I want. Get it? Anyways, hope to see all you bloggers later! Toodles<3

I got this! xP

It was really difficult for me to think about something to write about. I have a lot of "good time" moments it was so hard to choose one. But I finally decided to talk about the day I officially became a Cosmetologist, I started going to beauty school right after I got out of school which was back in '09.  It took me a year and 1 month to graduate and get my cosmetology certificate, and it took about a month to take my state board test. The day before that big day I stayed up late at night just looking at my book. I didn't want to really read anything because I didn't want to over do it and fry up my brain with stuff. I felt so confident about it I wasn't even nervous. The next day I got up at five in the morning and I was getting all my stuff ready to go, I had to be there at seven in the morning. My mom was my model, which means she was the one I used to perform all the hand's on procedures. When it was time to go to the testing room where I was to perform some of the procedures I started to get a little bit nervous because I didn't know what to expect, but I tried not to let that get in my way because it just makes things even worst. I sat down in the chair next to my mom and listened to the lady that was in charge of the room as she told us the rules. After she was done giving us the instructions she said "begin", I took a deep breath and proceeded on what I needed to do. The first thing that was on my list was to perform a facial. I  took out everything that I needed from the big bag they provided us with. Everything went really smooth with everything through out the whole hand's on stuff. When I was done with all of that we took about an hour lunch, after that I needed to go back by myself and take the written part of the test. As I was walking up the stairs towards the room I needed to go I was telling myself you got this Itzel! You can do it!, and let me tell you I sure did it! When I was done taking that test on the computer a little pop up window came out that said I still had 65 minutes remaining and I had the option to go back and double check my answers, but of course I didn't. I felt so confident about it. It took about 2 hours to know the results, everyone had to meet up in a waiting room. I could tell everyone was so nervous to hear the results because of the nail biting, walking back in forth across the room, tapping there feet, and so on. When I saw one of the lady's walk in the room with papers in her hand my heart started pounding! She said "I'm going to call out the names in alphabetical order if u get a white paper u passed, if u get a yellow one you didn't and it's going to tell u the reason why." She started calling out the names and the first five people she first called didn't pass I started getting even more nervous. The lady kept calling name, after name, after name, and at the end about ten girls including myself were the only ones left, everyone just looked at each other and looked at the lady, I noticed she had green papers in her hand and she told us "Please come a little bit closer, after I tell al of you if you guys the bad news and the good news, the ones who do pass please don't make noise, we still have some testing going on across the room". I remember thinking to myself oh my goodness I better pass! She said "the good news.." there was this awkward silence and out of no where she just says "All of u guys passed!" I wanted to jump for joy!! I was so excited I couldn't believe it. She after said that the bad news was that we still needed to fill out some forms that we didn't complete but I was like geez! I don't think that matters right now I PASSED! I ran downstairs and when I got to the parking lot I put on a serious face just to scare my mom, when I opened the car door she said "Itzel! tell me! tell me!" I told her I didn't pass and she said "Yeah right, u liar I saw you with your big smile on your face when you were coming towards the car!" I started laughing and told her I couldn't believe I passed and to take me to Topper's Pizza Place since I was hungry and I deserved it for sure!, so she did. November the seventh, I'm never going to forget that day.

Not a borring book haha

I don’t like to read books, I always tend to fall asleep or ill be reading but my mind is in another place. But, there’s one book that I actually got my attention. This book is called “The Kite Runner” by Khaled Hosseini. I had to read this book in my speech class back in high school and I remember my teacher telling us to read the back of the book first so we can get an idea of what the book was going to be about, after reading that I wanted to open the book and read it right away. This book is about two young little boy’s named Amir and Hassan, Amir was a lower class kid and Hassan was more on the wealthier side but that didn’t stop them from being best friends. They did everything together and there’s a lot of parts in this book that made me bust out with couple of tears here and there for example, there’s a part in this book where Amir and Hassan fly there kites and compete against other kids in the neighborhood, the point to there game was to cut any other competitors kite and they had to be the last ones standing. They won, Hassan knew where the kite would land so he went to go get it and bring it back to keep it as a trophy. On his way there he encountered one of the neighborhoods bully (Assef). Assef told Hassan to give him Amir’s kite but he refused. Assef decides to teach Hassan a lesson by raping him. The part that made me completely sad was that Amir saw all this happening but was too scared to confront Assef. I really recommend reading this book and watching the movie! Watching the movie gives you a much better understanding of the book.

Heres the trailer for the movie..

idk how to title this Cx

By reading this book it has some what affected me because I found out a lot about fast food restaurants and the way everything works. I would always ask myself how everything was made where it came from, who did it. Why? And obviously when I was reading this book it gave me these answers and some of the stuff made me really surprised about it. Everything is so cheap; but for the reason that the stuff they use. When I read some of the parts on this book made me get really grossed out.

 I think I would really make some changes when it comes to eating fast food; even though I don’t eat a lot of it because im not a big fan; its usually my last resort. But then again fast food is really tempting ive noticed that everytime I come out English class I crave some McDonalds fries or McNuggets and that’s not good. Ill totally make an effort though.  Some of the issues it made me think of is how these companies try to get everything for cheap, and how slaughter houses can be really unsafe for workers and they only try to get at the immigrants and how the workers get treated with no respect at all and I that’s really sad. 

Who doesn't LOVE school?

First off I want to say we should have more blog’s like last week; right? It was fun reading and trying to guess the truth. Anyways my truth was number five, I still cant believe I didn’t go up to her!

            

I think were half ways in the semester! Isn’t that a relief. I really thought this semester was going to be a piece of cake. But its not! I’m taking math, Chicano studies, English, marine bio, marine bio lab and this lovely online course. So I’m at OC all days of the week except Fridays which is good because that’s a party day! I don’t work right now so im only attending school, but I also have other responsibilities at home and helping my parent’s out around the house while there working. All the work for all these classes pile up like crazy each week and I get really stressed, sometimes I get to the point when I want to quit and just work and reach for my goals without any school. But, since school is everything I know if I quit its going to take longer or maybe not even get to my goals I have for myself. So I always tell my self to suck it up! And just try my best and study hard for what I really want so that’s what I’m currently doing.  I really like all my classes though I don’t think it’s that hard. My marine bio lab class is sort of difficult, for me at least. When I first signed up for that class I thought I was going to be learning about the marine life and all this cool stuff but its not so far what I’ve been learning is how to read maps what all the numbers and lines mean and all sorts of fancy stuff and its pretty cool but sort of hard to understand.

            My motivation in staying in school and continuing is really just MONEY. I have so much plans and goals in my life sometimes I think I’m crazy for thinking all this. But hey! If they can do it I can to! And maybe even ten times better. I want to be someone in life, someone people can look up to, I want to make my family proud, make my own future family proud, and most important make myself proud! For what I’ve accomplished in life, I also want to prove wrong all the people that doubt me and talk down on me and one day be like Ha!Ha! In your face! And walk away with this expression in my face à:P
