school among other things
So I started school on Tuesday. Honestly, I'm not really sure what I think of it yet. It's tiring and kind of boring and makes my back hurt really bad. Tuesday was awful. I cried because I didn't know how to do a nine section part and it seemed like most everyone else got it right away. I was cranky and my back hurt and I didn't understand anything and they were just going way too fast for me.
I hated my first day so much that I seriously considered not going back. I don't have a problem with the book and all that, it's the practical part that really bothers me. I hate doing roller sets and therapeutic brushing and stupid scalp treatments. On a creepy mannequin head. Especially the roller sets. Oh, they kill me. And it's only been three days. And to think that I'm going to have an endless line of little old ladies wanting perms and roller sets and teased up hair pretty much makes me want to tie a brick to my foot and walk out into the Kickemuit.
I want to do the stuff I came there to do. I want to be cutting hair and styling and coloring and all that kind of stuff. I wanna do the fun stuff! At least, I hope it's fun. I don't know. Now that I'm in school, I'm not so sure that I'm in the right place. I sure as hell hope I am ($12,000 later), but these first few days have been challenging. I'm starting to feel a little bit better about it (my teachers are really supportive, and I got a 97 on my test today!) but I'm still unsure I guess.
Tomorrow is the day we get to work on each other instead of our mannequins (those mannequins are freakin' creepy... I'll have to put up a picture of mine sometime... I have two, and they came with the name "Debra"... they have real human hair, which I think is what freaks me out the most). I'm glad I'll get to work on an actual person, since I have a hunch that it could be much easier. Or it could be harder. I guess I'll find out. But I'm looking forward to that, much more than doing silly ass roller sets on a fake head.
I go to school from 9am-4pm, so that means that I don't get to see Mike. BUT... I just found out that they're putting him on day shifts at D'Angelo's soooo he'll be free the same times that I am. Which is a very good thing. I've been worried about going to school because I'd hardly ever get to see Mike because we have opposite schedules but now hopefully it's true that he's going to be working during the day instead of at night. He's been trying so hard to be good to me and it's really working... he brought me a dozen roses last week for no apparent reason and he's been really cuddly and stuff like that. I have the best boyfriend. XD
Anyway, that's about it for now. Hopefully I have a better attitude next time. :)
