Thursday night Spencer and I drove up to Glendale (in LA) because Friday morning I was scheduled to take my California State Board Esthetics's Test. So we got to the hotel at about 11 pm and we were exhausted, little did we know it would be a long sleepless night. Do you know how scary hotels are in LA? I swear people were coming and going from their rooms all night. And being a light sleeper, and quite paranoid already didn't help.... so around 3 am I finally got to sleep to wake up at 6:30 to get ready to take my written test. When I got to the testing spot I had to wait in a line just to be moved to another line... then finally...I got my assigned computer and started my test. I got through it well enough, and when I was done I was told I'd have to wait until my Practical portion was finished to get my results...... so began the longest day of my life.....
I went back to the hotel room to find that my room key wouldn't work... so sadly I had to wake my sleeping Spencer to let me in. I decided to ease my stress by sleeping for another hour.... one hour turned in to 2...oops. We checked out of our hotel at 12, and headed back to the testing site for my practical.
California State Board is so bad at communication! Oh my goodness, there were 50 candidates w/ their models and no one knew where they were supposed to go or what we should be doing! Finally we were showed to our stations. Hour and a half later Spencer was beautiful with his facial, and full make up application with lash extensions (my man makes a pretty lady!!)
Then all the candidates were cattled into another room to find out their test results.... Talk about nerve racking!! The test results had two options: If you got less than 70 on your written you FAIL, if you got less then 225 on your practical you FAIL. If you pass both you get your licence handed to you right then and there. Mine was the first name called...... I stepped up to the counter and......... "Congratulations, you passed" I had to sign my name to verify I received my licence, in my entire life I've never forgotten how to spell my own name until that moment. Licence in hand, I ran through the parking lot to my Spencer and we jumped for joy giggling like little girls!!!
It feels so good to finally have a License again! Hopefully my spa will start me on the floor soon! I can't wait to start doing what I love again!!
