Temptalia Asks You - What do you do to fill up your days?
What do you do to fill up your days? Beauty is fun and all, but what is everyone doing for their days (or nights)? Are you a full-time career woman, devoted mom, studious student (giggle)?
Me? Temptalia is like a full time job where you don’t get paid, but you put in all the effort and energy for it. I’m also a full-time law student! I used to part-time work as a transcriptionist, but I just don’t have enough time to all that. I’m not Wonder Woman, unfortunately.
Full-time law student hm? Good for you, girl! What kind of law are you going into?
I work full-time at a large financial company handling investor relations on the secondary market for residential loan products. Its really slow right now, so I have lots of internet time… I want to go back to school, but I’m trying to decide what for.
I want to go into finance – I’m hoping to get my MBA with my JD 🙂
Oh, sounds like fun–well, when it isn’t so slow. Any ideas for school?
Good for you! Smart girl 🙂
Well, I’m almost 24… you’d think I’d at least have an idea by now! But that’s hardly the case… I definitely know what I DON’T want to do so I guess that’s a good thing 🙂 There are a few things I am interested in, one being criminology, so I’m looking it to that at the moment.
Well, good luck! 🙂 I hope you find that right field for you!
I work part-time as a copywriter. The rest of my time, I spend on completing my degree (financial management), the internet, PS2 and my collection of adopted strays. Oh, and I mess around with cosmetics as well 😉
Oh, financial management, love it 🙂 I love finance, period!
How many strays do you have?
The official figure is four cats and two dogs 😉 But I feed all the strays who roam around the neighborhood and eventually adopt the ones that decide to stay.
Wow, that is a menagerie! What kind of dogs? I’m a dog lover (I’m terribly allergic to cats).
Both dogs are mixed breeds – part German Shepherd and part Lord-knows-what.
LOL! My dog (well, he’s “mine” but resides at my parents and loves them more than me) is part Norfolk terrier and part-Lord-knows-what, too 🙂 My sister’s is a mutt, too.
Well i also work in a financial institution full time 40hrs a week, and go to school 2 days a week from 6-9 majoring in marketing.. I also just recently got engaged 2 months ago so wedding planning has been taking up a lot of my spare time but iam not complaining 🙂 its soooo much fun!
Wow, a lot of finance girls here! What kind of marketing do you want to get into? Congrats on the engagement!
I am a studious student in a Psychology/Sociology degree! When I’m not frantically typing essays (like I am now lol) I love playing Warcraft. I also tried having a part time job, but couldn’t do that and school without burning out.
How fun, Tekoa! What do you want to do with the degree? Oh, man, I used to play World of Warcraft all the time.
I’m an accountant (or accountess, as my BFF calls it!)for one of the nation’s biggest moving companies by day, aspiring horror movie reviewer by night (Fangoria just won’t return my emails!!!).
Another lady doing it big with numbers!
Aww, good luck on getting through to Fangoria 😉
that is awesome. it would be so great if you could write for Fangoria!
I am currently fresh out of college and working full time. Plan on getting that p.h.d in industrial psychology in the near future 🙂
Congrats on your graduation! Oh my, PhD! Good luck!
I’m taking my Diploma in Advertising and Marketing Comm. Currently on internship till the 31st of December, so now I work on weekdays 8:30am to 5:30pm in the Marketing Department of one of the Universities in Malaysia. Other than that, I do freelance designing. After internship, I have another semester left till I graduate. Most probably going to work first then continue to take BBA in 2009.
Oh, that sounds really fun, Fie! What kind of freelance designing are you doing?
Good luck with school!!
🙂 Anything using the Adobe Creative Suite and also some video editing skills that I leeched off my boy. Haha
Oh, nice! I have Adobe CS, too 🙂 I used to do a lot of graphic/web design in the past.
i am full time student studyin science info =| i was supposed to study arts though, im an artistic soul so whenever i got time i am painting, drawing and doing some decoupage or other decorating stuff for home. i also do some editorial work for two sites its comfortable cause i can work at home but takes me a lot of time … if i got some time left im reading a lot (i absolutely love books!), writing or singing. i used to be practicin parkour but cant do it anymore after breakin a few bones too much ;)i still like doing some long ass walks when the weather is nice, i live just a few steps from huge forest so its pure pleasure to go there in a sunny day 🙂
Awesome, Camilla! I love books, too 🙂 Sounds like you are one busy lady!
And lucky to have such great scenery right by you!
hehe it just looks like im busy but i really do have time for everything 😉
I’m a nursing student. Taking exams, doing clinicals and studying (usually only a few days before exams, haha) is what takes up my time. I also work part-time. I’m a broker for a List Brokerage company. I buy/sell/trade lists for companies to use for their advertisements.
During my down time, I like to browse beauty blogs. Your reviews are awesome and makes me not so clueless when approaching a counter filled with endless products! Also, I’m an xbox 360 fanatic. Halo 3 & Gears of War are my favorite (I dig shooter games). I’m a nursing student that loves makeup AND video games (LOL).
What a diverse set of interests, Jenny! Good luck with school 🙂
i go to college and also want to go into law school…how are you in law school christine if you are only 20? sorry, just curious not trying to be rude?
I’m 21, but I graduated a year early from college 🙂 Good luck with school!
I manage a pizza store full time, for a New Zealand company called Hell. It’s ok for now, but I really want to get qualifications in make up artistry so I can finally do something I want with my life!
LOL! Hell, love it. I hope you’re able to get your makeup artistry qualifications soon!
🙂 It’s a pretty cool concept and has done very well over here! 66 stores and counting. The guys who came up with it are millionaires now and have taken it over to the UK.

Nice! Thanks for sharing the link 🙂
I work full time for a non-profit organization doing website & graphic design, computer troubleshooting and a bunch of other things. I’m also an artist (trying to make it my livelihood) and I like to record music.
Sounds lovely, Carrie! What kind of artist? Do you have a specific medium or a few you stick to?
Mostly I do oil painting on wooden panels, landscape-inspired stuff. 🙂
Very nice 🙂 I love oil painting!
A big ol’ fat notn’ is what I do 🙂 LOL
After spending three years working 60 hour weeks (I worked in politics), going to school full time (BS in business management) and being a single mom I QUIT! Yep thats right I decided that my mental health, and son, is more important than work or school. So I quit my job and dropped out of school a semester before graduation. I am slowly returning to school BUT I will never go back to work for someone else. Its self employment or nothing at all. Luckily my SO does well so I no longer need to work. I now spend my days taking sewing classes and helping fundraise for my sons school, its private school so fundraising is actually a pretty involved job. Growing up I always knew I wanted to work in politics, I did and found that after several years I grew to hate it. Currently I am trying to figure out what I want to do when I grow up :)LOL 🙂 since the first plan wasn’t right for me.
Oh yea and I enjoy playing around with make-up 🙂
Im a politics student! just finished my first semester here in London so still trying to get my head around it all. I dont work either but i know i really should 😐
I’ve always known i want to go into politics but now u’ve scared me! I hope i dont fall outta love with it! :s
If you make better choices than I did I am sure you will have many wonderful years making a difference in the world and being the changes in the world you want to see. Don’t try and find the most difficult causes or parties thinking thats where you can make the biggest difference…you likely will just end up feeling like your fighting a never ending battle and after a while the battle scars start to wear you down. Also develop a thick skin if you end up working in a good old boys club, expect to be treated like a “silly girl” and roll with it until you get a chance to prove yourself and then really knock their socks off with your ability to do the job. I wish you nothing but luck, I can still close my eyes and feel the first time I was responsible for a bill passing and its up there in amazing moments along side the birth of my son.
Wow, that is a crazy work week you used to have, Tanya! I hope you’re enjoying the full-time mom status 🙂
