So like, doing hair is like, so totally awesome!!

So obviously we've just started a new year and I could come up with some philosophical thing to say about how this year I'm going to change my life and how life is some fast moving asteroid out in the middle of the universe covered with stress aliens that work everything out in the end. Well I sat staring at my computer screen for an hour trying to figure out where to start and I couldn't come up with anything. Until tonight!!

As probably some of you know, I just started the cosmetology program at SLCC. I'm there Mon-Thurs from 5pm-10pm. I still am working during the days at America First 30 hours a week so needless to say, I am tired all the time. But it really is worth it. I am so excited to get really into school and start working on hair. Last week we had 2 days of orientation then 2 days of scalp treatments. It was really fun and got me very excited to learn everything and get more practice. Today we were scheduled to learn about braids. FUN! I already know how to do pretty much all of the braids so I was excited to get more practice.

Well...this weekend I contracted a very serious, life threatening, contagious, infectious cold (it really is just your standard cold, but still no fun). So I show up to school today feeling like poo dogs and exhausted but still excited. We spend this first hour talking about different scalp conditions like greasy dandruff that sticks to your scalp and is very difficult to get off and other things like head lice and SO many other fun things. YUCK!! I still feel itchy. I wanted to go home but you see, if you have 100% attendance, being on time, being there everyday and being there the whole class period, you don't have to take one of the finals. So of course, I stayed. Well apparently there was a big presentation today. They ushered us to the student center and we sat for 4 hours listening to 4 other hair stylists talk about how "like, cutting hair is so, like, amazing and, like, you can make so much money and, like, BLAH BLAH BLAH!! I think if i was feeling better I would have enjoyed it a lot more but under my cold and exhaustion I wasn't feeling it. I left school today scared to death that I was getting into a profession full of LIKE LIKE LIKE TOTALLY AWESOME BLAH BLAH! And to be honest with myself, there are cosmetologists like that. Ones that I want slap in the face when they open their mouths. But then I remembered that I have 2 cousins (who do hair) who are NOT like that and I also have a mother in law (who does hair) who is most definitely not like that and it calmed me down real much. All i wanted to do was braid hair tonight! To make matters worse I was on the front row so I couldn't roll my eyes or not pay attention. Yeay to a lovely waste of time day. Oh well, at least I got hours just sitting there right?

Well, welcome to the new year of scissors and hair slivers and lovely fumes!! I'm so excited to get started. For real :)
