Wow...where have I been?!

Hey everyone,
I guess I should start off by saying that I am so very sorry for not posting on my blog or my youtube pages for, hmmmmmm, 5 months or so.  I have lots of updates and fun things to share but as of right now I don't have a decent camera to film anything.  The one on my laptop is horrible horrible and it pisses me off hehe!  I guess I could update you all just a little bit right here.  Before I begin and before you start reading this, I have to warn you this is not an entirely beauty related blog post.  It is more like a conglomeration of stuff.  Well let's see, my last video and blog posts were somewhere around October and right around there is when I started getting swamped with things I had to do for school to get ready to graduate in December.  I was taking 19 credits but 2 of them really didn't count because I volunteered my time for the class.  I was a teaching assistant or a T.A. for short for two classes and then I was taking 3 of my own classes.  My time in my last semester as a senior was amazing and I really miss school.  I miss school so much that I am volunteering my time again this spring semester as a T.A. for Research Methods.  It is an upper level 5 credit course students are required to take if they want to graduate with a Psychology degree.  I really enjoy the work I do and I think that when I finally finish my with doctorate that I ultimately want to be a college professor.  Besides going to school on a volunteer basis Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, I also work my butt off at the restaurant.  As my followers know I am a waitress/bartender.  This job pretty much takes up most of my other free time because now that I am not in school ALL those student loans have come into repayment :( <--this is my sad boo boo face.  Well it's not quite so bad but I just have to work every day I am not over at the school.  I am currently looking to get another job too!  I am not trying to find what I call "a real people job" yet because the jobs that I am qualified for with just a Bachelors of Science in Psychology are few and far between and most of them I could do without a degree!  I am waiting to start my job search until after I get my Masters in Modeling and Simulation, psychology track, and then my Doctorate in Human Factors and Experimental Psychology.  Wow say those 10x fast!  Anyway most of this is quite boring to read about but I have been quite busy and I haven't had time to prettify myself in front of the camera for some time.  I also have been saving every penny I get so NO HAULS for me in quite some time either.  I might start up a "Prettifulmakup on a budget" series of videos.  I am also still on my workout kick too.  I watch Zusana on BodyRock.tv all the time.  She has a youtube page of course, it's charliejames1975 and it's great fun to watch.  I also just recently bought a hybrid specialized bike so I can save gas by riding my bike to school.  I bought the hybrid kind so that I can also do light bike trails with my bf.  I am trying to get outside more and exercise since the weather down here is so amazing.  The bike is really great and I have gone to school about 3 times so far on it and my legs KILL!  These are muscles that I haven't used in a while since I hadn't really been on a bicycle too frequently in the past.  Ever since I got it though I want to ride everywhere!  I will post pictures of the bike as soon as I can.  I want to try and sync my phone to this blog so I can upload things while I am on the go!  Well I hope I have updated you enough and I hope to start making these posts regular again.  Love you all and have a great, fantastic day!
Prettifulmakup!
