Drawing A Blank

As I write this I'm undergoing some major writer's block. Well, it's not so much writer's block as it is a creative blank. Being the forgetful procrastinator that I am, I left one of my assignments to the last minute and then forgot about it. It's due tomorrow. MASSIVE FAIL.

I'm glad I got the day off work (holiday shopping won't be starting for another few weeks so I'll probably be getting a lot of surprise days off) to work on this, but for an hour I've literally been avoiding looking at my paper. I think I need some kind of application on my Firefox that blocks websites like Facebook & Twitter from opening until I'm finished my assignment.

The other day I had one of my trademark changes of heart where I feel like I'm out of place in my program and maybe I should just quit. But Cosmetics is where my heart is. It's my passion. I know I want to work in this field for the rest of my life. Haha this is a little odd considering the fact that two years ago I didn't even wear makeup. But something in me changed when I started wearing it. It's like there was something that lit the fire in me. I suppose it's because I'm the only daughter that has zero artistic ability. I can't draw to save my life. So it's nice to think of Cosmetics as "art for the face". It's true though....someone's face is my canvas.

I just wish I was a little more creative. It's hard not to fall into the rut of monochromatic eye colour and plain jane gloss on the lips. I need contrast, I need bright and lively. It's easy to pull those pages out of a magazine but it's another to translate those looks into something I can call my own. I guess it will get a little bit easier as time goes on, I'm only in first year after all, but I want the process to speed up a little.

*sigh*....Oh well.......I'll just keep working at it.....I only have a few hours to finish my project.
