So today was the first day out of my year of Cosmetology school. Fabulous right? I've gotta say, I didn't do a ton of things, and I can't say I feel like I learned alot, but I'm dying of fatigue. :/ I turned in at 2:30 AM, fought sleep until 3, and then got up at 7:17 AM. I was ready to go at 7:39 AM, and I didn't have to be in class and clocked in until 9:00 AM. I'm not sure what I was thinking.
I learned three different ways of parting the hair for various cuts, colors and chemical services. I learned how to sanitize my station ((that I got today, along with my kit)). I learned that I'm going to want my own styling tools at school. I learned about signing in, out and bringing my own things to eat for lunch. I learned that I was going to be standing around a whole fucking lot. I learned that my main Theory teacher, Miss Lorena, is pretty much a saint. I also learned the names of the girls I didn't know: Jade's friend is Julie, and there's also Kaesha, Monica and . . .
Well I thought I knew the last girl's name, but I obviously don't. I'm truly the only boy, though I think that's kind of cool, and I feel like I fit in better that way anyhow. I still like them all just as much as I did yesterday. Probably more, in fact. I feel like I'm sharing a little bit more about myself than they're comfortable with at times, but I wish I wasn't, because I think honesty is the key to maintaining a positive relationship, and understanding one another. It's not like I'm telling them I slay kittens with weed-eaters, but sometimes I get looks like I said so.
Anyhow, I have to get some supplies and study some more, but I feel good knowing that this course isn't going to be too bad.
