So this week Cathy and I have volunteered to do makeup on battered womens group on East Hastings. I think it will be a great experience to do this, especially since most of these woman have never been touched in a positive way before. Now, I didnt know about East Hastings til yesterday when I looked it up online. I guess it has the highest HIV rate in Canada, there's a needle exchange there, lots of homeless people, drug adicts and prostitures. The HIV thing worries me a bit, for when Im getting there with Cathy, and even when Im doing their makeup (What if they have open sores on their faces.. etc) but Im hoping Ill just get some good karma for this and have a great experience :)
Ive finished two classes in the last two weeks. Intro to art and tech, which is where we learned how to take proper portfolio pictures with our digital cameras, to make them look like a professional photograph, rather than a snapshot. Ill post a pic of my final picture soon.
Then we had our cosmetic retailing course. I thought it was a lot of fun, and it makes me want to go back into cosmetic retail. I never realized how much I liked it, and the reasons why. I think I like it so much because Im actually selling the things that I enjoy rather than vitamins, or consigned sports equipment (don't get me wrong, because I do like working at Sports Junkies)
I joined the gym this week, and also ended some Logan drama :(
Ill write more about that soon.. gotta go to work! Im always busy bsuy, Im doing full time school, and fulltime work!
