KOALA'S LAST ENTRY OF 2009

It feels like I haven't made a proper post in forever ~~because I haven't.~~

Since I'm working the first day of the year I hope that follows through the year, meaning I hope I have a job. Currently working at Macy's, as most of you stalkers know. My position right now is a Seasonal Sales Assosciate. It's pretty cool, except for bitch customers, more stories about them to come later. I haven't worked much the past three weeks, working about 15 hours per week now. I don't work at all next week. Dani, a Supervisor and friend of the family, said that I'll get a week off then I'll be doing inventory. That means I'll be working when the store is closed and I'll get off at like 6 in the morning or something.

I recently got an employment inquiry from the Department of Corporations. This is for a general offiice assistant, all the inquires I get from state departments are for this position. I sent in the application to work at the Los Angeles Headquarters for the Department of Corrections and I never heard back on that. My mom has a former coworker that's now a supervisor there and she had asked around about the position and NO ONE was even aware that they were hiring. It's really weird. I really wanted to work there because it's in LA in the big state building, there's a bus stop right outside. The job for Department of Corporations is also in the same building so I hope to get at least one of these jobs. I think it'll be easier taking public transportation when working in Downtown. Then there's also the perk that the state will compensate some of the cost for taking public transport.

So yeeeaaah. Don't plan on working at Macy's forever but it's shit loads better than my job at Six Flags. And I think that's all I have to say about work related stuff.

I don't make resolutions so you're not going to see any of that on here. I don't like making promises that I don't know I'll be able to keep. It's even worse if it's breaking a promise to yourself. But I've got a totally not serious resolution, if it could be called that. I plan to finish my AX blogs before the next AX. I have about 85% of Day 1 typed out. I've actually had it typed out since July but I've never finished it. Oh well.

Last thoughts of 2009.
Recently I've been seriously considering going to MUD, short for Make-Up Designory. You're correct if you've guessed that it is a make-up school. I heard about MUD from a peer when I was taking the esthetician program. She would always talk about the school and how great it was. Then one day when we had a field to a sfx make-up demo at Cinema Secrets, which is very near MUD. We had some time to kill before we had to head back to campus so Michelle took me and Mari to MUD because she had lost her student card or something and while we there she decided to give us a mini tour. Mari and I both grabbed a catalogue to learn more and that was that.

The only thing that's really prevented me from going is the cost of the school. It is a private school but I could get financial aid. I've been waiting though until my mother could no longer claim me on her taxes. The master program which consists of all the classes MUD has to offer is $21,027.00. That's including the registration fee, make-up kit and materials, and tuition. Oh yeah, that registration fee is another reason why I haven't applied. I don't really feel like wasting one-hundred dollars to apply for the school and then change my mind. Fuck, I'm so indecisive.

This was the reason why I was hoping for that job for the Department of Corrections. The offering for that job that was full-time for a year. I thought it would be perfect because I could have worked for a year, saved up the money, then I could have enrolled for MUD after and not worry about paying for the classes. Oh well. Things will eventually work themselves out and I'll figure out what I want to do in life. Except with the recent events that have happened within the past two weeks I kind of fear 2010.

Here's to hoping 2010 isn't as shitty as 2009. Although, nothing really happened to me but to those around me and that's why my year sort of sucked. But hey, I have a roof over my head, a cute dog, and as far as I'm aware, I'm in good health. 2009 wasn't so bad afterall, I guess.
