FirstDay.

Beauty School: Cozmo, The School. Bonita Springs, FL

Today was the first day of beauty school. It was totally not what I expected. I thought we were just going to get our books, have an introduction to the school, introduced ourselves to the other classmates, and talk about sanitation and the boring, yet vital stuff like that. Well, we did all of that and so much more.
Right when I got into the school, I got my kit. Then the newbies [just me and two other girls] joined another group of people. Most were newbies a couple weeks ago and the rest were close to graduating. While they were learning the man haircut, we went through our kit to make sure everything was there.

The kit was like Christmas morning. Our stuff was in a big booty duffel bag. Our official kit box is on backorder. I bet this is one of the most exciting parts of beauty school for most people[receiving your kit]. There is sooo much stuff. Three model heads with human hair in three different textures [they're a little scary]. Cutting shears, all kinds of combs, hair dryer, two clippers, straightener, curling iron, clips, etc.

Meet Debbie, Michelle, and Ms. Suzzi-Kin. When I got home, I showed Cooper [our dog] the ladies. LOL. He would not stop barking at Michelle. Lol. And he kept a safe distance from them.

Right after we were done, the instructor [he's really cool] told us to grab “Debbie”, cutting shears, and comb. We learned to do the blunt cut. I thought, “Wow, we get to cut hair on our first day? Sweet!” So the first half of the day, the newbies and I learned about sectioning, shear & comb placement, elevation, apex, etc. It was actually pretty easy.

The next half of the day, we learned about manicures. Easy for me since I already know how to do nails. I just don’t know the terms for a lot of stuff anymore, like bacteria and nerves. I have a pretty sweet nail design right now. The instructor really liked it and had to tell everyone in class about ‘em. I felt my face get hot and red. Lol. The last half an hour, everyone got to know the newbies. We each spoke about why we want be in the field, our hobbies, blah blah. And we also got to learn about the girls already there. Everyone was pretty cool. :]

These are the nails I’m rocking how. Abstract Purple. I love this look!
Tutorial later. Very very easy. No use of striping paints. I gotta study now :]

Tomorrow, doing manicures.
Oh yeah…got my thousand dollar off my tuition. Aww yeah.

I’m already loving this school.
^-^

Test day.

Going to Cozmo today to take an ATB test. The school requires you to have a high school diploma/GED and since I don’t have one, they offer people to take an ATB (Ability-To-Benefit), pretty much like a GED test. I’m not worried at all. If you google practice tests, it’s extremely easy. Knock on wood. =P So I’m going to go there, take the test, and fill out the rest of my financial aid papers. I’m excited!

Sucks that I don’t have a car. =P I just feel bad that I’m gonna have the BF drive me to school every morning at 9am, then pick me up at 3:30pm for 10 months. I plan on working evenings and weekends to save up. It’s hard going from working 50+ hours a week with a car to nothing. I know my BF said he doesn’t mind supporting me, as long as I’m not taking advantage, which I would never do, but that doesn’t stop me from feeling this way. I almost feel like a bum.
I do appreciate him so much, because without him, I wouldn’t be going to beauty school in the first place. Once school starts, I’ll start to feel a little less like a bum.
I am very blessed. =)
Looking forward to playing me some WET. Muahaha. Kick me some mother ‘effin ass. >:P I dreamt about that game last night.
I’m a dork. 8P
