So, I don't sleep enough, I don't get to eat well, I barely have time to shop for my frozen dinner, and yet, I am still having fun! Its just the sleep thing thats really killing me.

As you can tell by the pictures that is a perm on my manikin. It's a spiral perm and it took me all day! We don't use chemicals right now cause I am still in the "freshman" phase 1 class. So I got done, just to turn around and take it out. I have also done a normal wrap perm. (I don't know the name of it but I guess I did a good job. One of the hardest teachers told me she was watching me all day. That I had done a good job and have a natural talent. Woo Hoo!) Also I have done a piggy back perm. you do double rollers for each section of hair. It's mostly for longer hair. Also I did my first hair cut on a manikin. That was neat. Yesterday I did a "foe" hair color. Again since we can't use chemicals yet, we just used this stuff called cholesterol. It was like a pudding texture, similar to a hair color product texture. I have also learned to shampoo and condition. Also working on blow drying and round brushing the proper way. Setting the curl. Parting the hair. All that is just my hands on days!

I have one day a week that is just theory. Out of the book, learn things, ask questions, get technical. Whatever. Well, last week and today (wed. and really tomorrow for me cause I have yet to sleep.) we have been learning anatomy. EESH! How am I supposed to remember all of this crap?? Alright Transverse Facial Artery, Pulmonary Circulation, and Peripheral Nervous System! Keep up the good work!! lol

PS. You all can thank Megan for this post. I don't have too much time to post but she wanted to hear what I am up to. Believe me, I have been thinking of posting for a few days and just have not had a chance. You all saw that schedule a few posts back right?

PPS. Off subject. I am also sad about Heath Ledger. I really liked him as an actor.

nails.

so this week and last week i have been learning about bacteria, and also about nails. i have learned the basics for a manicure and pedicure last week. this week i ahve been learning about acrillic nails. today one of the girls put a full set on me. its cute, and is great for her first time, but i can see a few things that i cant fix and its driving me nuts. which is also another reason for the no capitols thing. sorry em. i'm not used to these nails and i need to get out the door here soon.

and for those of you that may not know.. bacteria is freaking disgusting and its everywhere. i knew that before, but now that i know a little more about it, i'm getting a little paranoid. haha.. oh well. gotta run. <3 <3

before I go to sleep..

I figured I would somewhat update everyone on how I am doing and whats going on.This is my second week of school and my new position at work. My schedule is as fallows:

I gladly will take calls and return text messages when I can. Emails and comments are great, those I will always get a chance to reply to.

Monique, I can't remember where I got the background, which is why its still all Christmasy. As soon as I have a chance I will change it and let you know where I will have gotten the cute layout that I know I will find.

Aunts,(yes I did just reply to all of you at once.) thanks so much for the keep it up, the first day is always crappiest and your awesome kind of attitudes and comments.

I really did expect work to be the worst of the two new experiences, but it turned out to be better at first. I am being trained by a crazy old man. Making a few new unexpected friends. Also I am learning my job pretty fast, and except for a few small mishaps, I am doing a good job! woo! Did I mention I work with hydrofluoric acid a little bit during the day? Don't worry, I wear all the safety gear. It's not gonna get to my bones!

As for school, the first day was awkward. There were too many students, all of them clicky. Nobody really cared to talk to me, and I wasn't being shy. I was trying to be myself! That was a "Theory Night" which is only once a week. I am in "phase one." There are three phases. On Theory Night, everyone from all three phases is in the class. The rest of the time it is just the phase one students, myself and the teacher, which makes 4 of us for now. LOL It's much nicer with just the 3 of us students and one teacher to learn. The girls have also pretty much let me into their little group and its going pretty good. I even made myself fall asleep on Friday night and woke up early enough to get all ready, get to school and be there 5 minutes early! yay!

Mentioning Saturday morning made me forget. My side of the house short circuited that morning RIGHT after I put shampoo in my hair! OH MAN! I haven't lived here long enough to have to know where the circuit breaker is so I had to finish showering by candle light, shaving sucks when you cant see what your doing! Not to mention it was FREEZING and I couldn't blow dry my hair. I go to school to learn to be professional, and I should have my own hair and makeup done too. A little hard when you can't use the blow dryer!! AH! everything worked out though, I made do with styling wet hair as best as I could. When I got home my dear room mate Laura had fixed the electricity for me, and left me a message telling me where the box was. She is great to me.

I will write some more soon. Off to bed now, although I have to be up a bit earlier today. So have a great week all! <3 miss you guys!

Just bored..

So posting from the phone.. Sitting at work.. 2nd day on new job. It's alright. School was alright. I kind of hoped school would be better. I'll post more later. ;)
