This Year In Great Detail
Day 29.
Your hopes, plans and dreams for the next 365 days.
I know, I know. I skipped a day or so but I thought I would again kill two birds with one stone with this blog post!
Happy New Year everyone! I hope that everyone welcomed the new year surrounded by family and friends =) The year 2011 was most probably the best year of my life and lets hope that the year 2012 will bring in even more exciting new adventures!
The end of the year gets us to reflect back on the things that we did for the past 12 months and when I look back on the things that I have done, I can't help but feel proud of myself. Last year, I did the most amazing things, gotten close to a lot of people who I now cherish and finally took a massive step in building my career. I can now look back on this year saying that I have no regrets and more importantly, that I achieved something that I have been wanting for so long.
I'm never one for drama and love to have positive outcomes and I think those traits of mine have really come out last year. I enjoyed my time by attending friends birthday celebrations, screaming and dancing about at concerts, coming home at ridiculous hours, strengthening friendships, building new ones, seeing my family overseas, witnessed two important people in my life tie the knot, defining my relationship and most of all, studying to begin my career.
I can't stress enough how much of an amazing time I had last year. Lets just say that not even the biggest hiccup or intervention can bring anything down for me. Although I've been let down or been made an idiot at one point or another last year, it was important for me to be the bigger person and to think of a positive outcome, no matter how bad the situation was.
The biggest highlight of my year, was to finally get my qualifications as a Make Up Artist. I wanted to go for it the year before last, but couldn't as I didn't meet the enrolment date. I enrolled myself at the Academy of Makeup in Paddington and braced myself for five months of study and work experience. My week pretty much consisted of night classes three times a week and a full day of class on Sundays. It was challenging having to balance going to the Academy, work, friends, boyfriend and church but I managed pretty well. It helps that my friends all knew how much it meant to me, that even if I was pretty much MIA for those 5 months, that I was doing something that I loved and that it was something I was looking forward to in order to reach my goals. I learnt a lot and have gained so much experience and knowledge and I seriously could do it all over again.
My hopes and dreams for the next year? Build my career.
I know that the beauty industry is competitive and that its hard work, but if you know me at all.. you know I'm willing to do what it takes for me to make it. I'm ready for new experiences, new adventures. I want to be surrounded by people who give off positive energies, build my portfolio and networking skills, travel places that I have always dreamed of going to, strengthen my friendships even more and to reach all my goals. I'm definately ready for what the year 2012 has to bring.
