Here is the dummy with the up-do I did the first night 3 times over.. it turned out really pretty though.

HoPe It KeEpS GeTtInG bEtTeR....

Hooray! Hooray! Whoo Hoo!!! Things are turning around for me.. I am so excited.. come to find out they moved me away because they wanted to keep their eye on another girl, which the next day they cleaned out her locker with police in tow.. and then they kicked her out of school.. Crazy.. Crazy!!! I don't know the full story.. but I got my station back.. whoo hoo.. I am by my friends again.. Hopefully they just don't move them away from me now..

So I did a color on a woman from India tonight.. she had the most beautiful long shiny dark brown healthy hair.. never been colored.. well until tonight anyways.. she wanted a light brown hair.. why is it that we are never happy with the hair that we get??? So anyways I colored all of her hair, her roots at the end processed a little faster than the ends.. and well she is coming back in tomorrow to have it colored darker.. We didn't find the happy medium tonight.. but that is okay because I did my first official hair color at school finally... whoo hoo..

So Saba (the client) was telling me about her life.. and she said that she just moved here from India, because she got married in July 08' and has been here for only a month. It was a ARRANGED MARRIAGE.. yeah.. I didn't think that they did those anymore.. she said that her mom picked several guys for her, and then she got to choose out of those guys.. and his mom picked several women for him, and he had to choose the final one.. crazy!!!!! She said that she now lives here with him finally, and to top it off they live with his parents and grandparents.. I so admire her. I don't think I could just marry someone that my mom picked out for me, and then move to another country and live with all the in-laws.. I am sure she is having a hard time to adjusting or maybe not.. maybe that would just be me.. At the rate that I am dating.. maybe I should get an arranged marriage.. ha ha..

They seem happy together.. she of course wants to have babies right away.. he would like to wait 8 or 9 years.. they definitely have their differences that they need to work out.. but don't we all.

I am just way excited because I can honestly testify that with faith and alot of prayer things can turn around.. I know that Heavenly Father has blessed me in this life with a wonderful family, and the best friends that I could ever wish for.. I am not sure what is in the future for me.. I guess that is why they call it a test so that you can gain your testimony.. I would have to say that mine is growing with everything that I have been through in the past 6 years.. but looking back I know that Heavenly Father has been with me the whole time.. which is the best blessing of all.

I am off to bed.. hope to get some good sleep tonight... I need it.. So excited for Spring break.. yay!! no school all night week.. what a relief. Good night!

First night not so good.

So I started my first night on the cosmetology side. I was nervous once again.. Things turned out great.. they seated me and all my friends all together.. very unheard of for the cosmo side they are alot more.. well I can't think of just one word to describe it.. cause it is just so different than the barbering side.. which I miss so much at this point.. sad I know since it was only my first night of well once again too many words to describe it.. I just think straight right now.. ha ha.. Well anyways our instructors have been known to have favorites.. I unfortunately do not think that I am one of them.

They decided that I didn't need a client tonight.. although pretty much everyone else got one. Then at the end of the night they told me that they are moving me to the abyss I mean the other side of the lab.. there is one girl over there one.. well make that two as of tomorrow.. I think I have been officially voted off the island.. Since I was the one and only student decided to move.. this sucks.. On a more positive note at least I know the one other girl, and we talk sometimes.. I guess I shouldn't let them know that we are friends.. they might just sit me in a corner all by myself.. Also they don't even forwarn you that your client / walk-in is there.. they have some one just bring them by.. well that was the same on the barbering side.. but I sat by the door so I kindof knew in advance what to expect.

Anyways so I started to do my up-do tonight.. yeah.. let's say that I am not a natural at that.. I decided to call my mannequin head "Mangey" tonight.. after rolling around in my trunk for quite some time.. I couldn't even get a brush in her hair.. well I did but it almost got stuck in there for good. So I did an up-do to have the main instructor tell me to fix it a little.. I put so many bobby pins in there.. you would have thought that a bomb went off with them inside.. I honestly didn't know what was pinning what back.. so I did it again.. and well of the loops made it look a little Princess Laya from Star Wars.. I don't think it helped when I shared my not funny comment with the instructor.. so she told me to do it again.. and she would come help me.. finally it turned out.. with help of course.. I so wish that I was a natural at this. I so love and miss barbering too, it's weird to think of how I thought they were throwing us to the sharks when we started on that side.. now I just feel hopeless.. so needless to say it was not such a good first night.

To hoping that it gets better.. or sorry girls I will be doing men only!
