Skin care

Using my Clarisonic with Philosophy Purity Made Simple followed by GlamGlow Thirsty Mud was an excellent decision. My face feels amazing.

Introductions

My friends have started to introduce me to people as, “This is Mia. She’s the scientist.” Met a number of people last week (I was unusually social) and four different people introduced me that way. One person asked where I worked and I was midreply, “I work in a lab-” when my friend cut me of and said, “She’s a forensic scientist.” 

My friends are proud of me; it’s adorable.

M Practice.

I've been feeling off about my yoga practice recently. I haven't been practicing as much as I'd like and when I don't go to class for whatever reason, I beat myself up about it. Today after class I was talking to the instructor/owner and she said, "Your practice has been amazing" and I was just so shocked. I then told her how on Monday I was very off balance, missing ques, just not there mentally, etc and she told me she couldn't tell. That quick comment meant the world to me and made my day so much better.

I was there for Breaking Benjamin debuting their new album live. It was the first time they've played songs off Ember and I was at the first concert. *heart flutters*

100000 miles

My car hit 100,000 miles last Saturday!!! We've been through a lot  for our 70K together.

Entering my 26th year is off to a pretty good start. Sad about getting closer to *whispers* 30 *le gasp*, but I just got a major promotion, so I'll survive. Pay off my car, put a little more into savings. Life is great.

Promotion

Thursday, April 26, 2018, I became a DNA analyst.

4 months??

Four months and no update is strange for me. I'm just sitting here stitching (HP SAL) and the flosstubers mention their blogs and it made me want to look and see the last thing I wrote. I'm fully aware that nobody reads this, but that's not really the point. I feel the need to do a life update, but let's be honest nothing is happening in my life beyond my promotion (written test and verbal are next week, I want to vomit). I don't feel ready, but everyone around me keeps saying that I'll be fine. I'm glad they all have more faith in me than I do. "You know more than you think" keeps getting thrown at me. We shall see.

I feel like not everyone was taught about "overstaying your welcome" as a child.

Promotion

Today, November 7, 2017, my first day back from work after Britney, my supervisor calls me over to tell me that I am going to start my analyst training this month!!!! 1 year, 6 months and 18 days after being hired I get the news I've been waiting for and I couldn't be happier!!!!!
