Finished!

I took the first exam for aspiring nail technicians yesterday, and I'm just so relieved it's behind me now. I won't find out if I've passed or not till mid-May, so I know it's too early to celebrate, but who cares? I feel like 10 tons have been lifted from  my shoulders! I bought a bottle of sparkling wine and  some good food and just kicked back and enjoyed myself as soon as I got home. It was much deserved.

The exam was held at Tokyo Big Site, and was from 9:30 to 12:45. I hadn't gotten enough sleep, so despite half of my face covered in a mask, you could tell that I was completely brain dead: not the best state of mind to be in for a test. But despite the lack of sleep, lack of practice and being nervous and freezing cold, I managed to only fuck-up once, ermm.... twice. Personally, I think I could have done a lot better if I weren't so damn nervous, but regardless, I have a hunch that I passed! Anyway, the judges seemed to love the 'art' part. According to a fellow student at beauty school, I'm easily better than our teachers when it comes to acrylic art! Aww!

So, that's that. Test: finished. Check. Now, I've got just 4 days of work before I kick start my Golden Week with a trip to Thailand! I'm feeling great!
