Another College Blog

  I have a lot of information from the internship that I need to share with you soon.  It's finally over and I actually wound up with a few outfits that I got at work much to the girl's delight.  There was a fashion showcase thing, not a full fledged fashion show, but they always have the interns do some modeling and I will post when I get them from the internship. The work situation is a bit crazy.  At Mom's I made about $11.35 an hour plus tips thanks to a few raises.  That sounds like pretty good money, except I was able to keep the hourly pay to spend as I saw fit and the tips would be used for Kayla.  All those outfits and makeup cost money.  That was about $6000 that were available to spend on Kayla this past year. When I turn 21 in less than a month, I will be getting a new job.  I'll have more details about this, but Mercedes has pretty much put in a word for me and I will get the job.  My pay will drop to $8 an hour but my tips will ...

  These aren't new pics as toy can tell by my heavy sweater, but they're new to you.  Just a few pictures of me at my internship.  It's going to be over very soon, which means that there will be more hours in my day and more blog updates. I may have a surprise for you that I'm mortified by and the girls are delighted by, but until I find out if it's going to happen or not I don't want to talk about it.  Mia is talking about changing my hair color again, which I really don't want.  I'm hoping that maybe I can negotiate with her into allowing me to change the style instead of the color.  They don't always play fair.  When I went blonde, they kept it going way too long.

  Here's a new picture of me in my room and an old pic from my redhead days courtesy of Kat.  I really have had a bit more time to post, but I really needed to recharge.  One thing I should talk about is the dress code at work.  I think the girls got a bit carried away.  I got a lot of corporate clothes, but the dress code is weird in the office because it's fashion.  As a result, this is a picture to show the girls what I was wearing to work.  That dress is really short for 9-5 and those tights also probably wouldn't be really appropriate. There's going to be a new book about my blonde summer coming out Thursday.  Notice anything about the cover?

I just realized how long it's been since I posted.  As you might imagine, it's the extreme workload this semester with the internship.  In fact, even though this is spring break, I'm not only working at Mom's but the internships do not follow spring break.  In fact, I'm working more hours. I give Mia and the other girls credit, they've been hinting lately that I better get this blog updated but they've at least been a bit understanding about the internship. I have an awful lot of pics that were taken of me or selfies that I have not posted.  I'll try and get some of the good ones posted.   What do you think?  Do my pictures look better with a model pout or with a big silly grin?

  Yes, the girls did set me up for Valentines Day.  I was not expecting it and thought I dodged a bullet because of how swamped I've been.  The date went fine and yes there was kissing, but nothing more than that. The romantic restaurant really was embarrassing, but the guy seemed nice and I just had to wonder why you have a first date at a romantic restaurant on Valentines Day.  I might not have the best game in the world, but even I know better than that. The internship is going and that's a big part of why I haven't updated.  Yeah, presenting as female in this setting is a huge challenge, but seriously it's just a lot of work in addition to a full-time class load. I just learned that a lot of students reduce their courses when they have the internship.  I'm basically doing light office work, but I am learning a lot and while it's fashion, the marketing knowledge does transfer to other stuff.  Expect a much longer posting about my internship soon.

I don't have any idea how this will work, but I am going to be doing my internship as a woman. I'm not even sure how they can do it.  I understand that I have my new feminine ID, but my social security number is under Kevin not Kayla. This is one of the outfits for my internship, but they all are kind of similar though with slightly different detail and a range of colors.  I never thought this could happen and I don't know how I can present myself to all my coworkers as a female.  I am now going to be attending more classes in girl mode than in guy mode.  I'm still stunned.
