It's a cold, rainy Monday evening. In a Starbucks in Toronto, an exhausted Christina Ilieva sits down following a long day of shooting. The 16-year-old model rose early to have hair & makeup done, and although the face looks fresh the eyes are tired.Her next two days will be much like this one, rising early for hair & makeup, shooting all day (this time for Fashion Magazine) before hopping a flight back to New York Wednesday night. The following days may see her flying home for American Thanksgiving, or staying in New York.This is the less glamourous side of a typical working model's life. Sometimes monotonous and almost never certain, it's a lifestyle not many others her age could possibly imagine. Since the summer, when she made the decision to model full-time, Ilieva has chosen to set aside traditional studies in favour of internet learning. "It was hard to balance school and modelling. Corresponding with teachers that don't really understand - they just give up. School online works great for me."Now, instead of pop quizzes and weekend assignments Ilieva's semester comprises a bulk of predetermined work that has to be completed by the end of January. The pace is completely up to her. "Some weeks you get more done than other weeks." "It's hard days, lack of sleep, and in fashion week you're always changing heels, and off to the next thing. You always have ten things to do, and you only get to five. It's always busy, but then I get home and relax and just try to get back to being me again."She plans to return to Milan in the future, but is currently looking forward to working in London in January and making the most of her ongoing New York experience . "I love where I'm staying in New York - I love the girls I'm staying with. I like working with the people I do, and not many people get to have this experience."When asked what she expected to get out of modelling, she suddenly becomes animated. "I didn't expect to be based out of New York. I didn't expect NOT to be a junior in high school... that's for sure! But it happened and I'm happy. I'll take it. I'll lean into the wind and take what opportunities come my way."Then the dreaminess returns to her speech. "I'm going to go home now to get some sleep and get ready for work tomorrow."
