This week flew by so quickly that I forgot to post my weekly oasis. Its been too long since I've actually had a life. Working two days a week, three days a week at the haunt, and having things to do and people to see on my days off. It feels good. No actually it feels great. The main reason is because I'm learning so much from the haunt. Getting to explore all these techniques and applications! My only gripe is every ones reaction when they hear I don't get paid. I get a twinge when I think about the gas I spend getting out there (roughly $35 a weekend) but its gone the second I get there. I love the kids and they're amazing when it comes to me messing around with make up. They drive me nuts but I get them back by ripping out half their beards with liquid latex :) See I can't even keep on topic about not getting paid. I just love every minute of being there. What keeps me going is the fact that I know if my dad was here he would ask me three questions like always:
1.Does it make you happy? Do you truly enjoy the experience?
2.Are you learning something from all of your work?
3.You're going to have to spend that money on something someday right?
YES to all three. I'm not losing anything by going out there, only gaining friendships, experience and knowledge that will be with me for the rest of my life. I know my dad might not be here but his lessons always will.
Hope you all had as an insightful week as I did and wishing you all a great week ahead of you!
