lemme into MYSPACE!!!
be so serious. i have not been able to log onto myspace since i got home from school which was 6 hours ago and myspace has been down the whole time. i'm anxious about it and i want to get in..... yes, it's a sickness.
maybe i need to go lay down and get a grip. perhaps it's the heat.

one-fourth of the way done
so, i'm nearing 400 hours of beauty school. that's only a fourth of the way done, but seeing how it took almost 10 years to get here, and really by mere chance, i might not have gotten here at all... a fourth of the way is damn good. i've missed quite a bit of school due to various ailments, but i'm on the road to recovery.
life lately has been a series of andy working 10 hour days, me coming home exhausted from school, and us not having a weekend that matches everyone else's except for each other's. i don't feel like i have the time or energy to talk to or see people. i really REALLY can't wait for school to be over. it's like an end of the road i can't see yet, but i know it's there. people have their last days almost like everyday (it's not as though you start with people and you end with those exact people just because you are trying to accumulate hours and if you missed a couple of days and your friend doesn't - obviously, you won't finish at the exact same time) and i just sigh knowing my end isn't for a long, arduous while.
today was my first saturday at school for phase 2. we are actually working on clients now, but saturdays are our full days of working on clients. during the week, i can only work on clients from 2:30pm-5pm. it was actually a lot of fun today. i finally can feel the comraderie (and often time cattiness) of being part of the "school." i believe there are about 80-100 students there, and when you are a freshman you feel so secluded. some of those girls there crack me up, and i get compliments on my shoes all the time. that's what it's like to be in beauty school... people always complimenting you on your makeup, or your earrings, or your shoes, it's fantastic. it's girly girl heaven. there's also bitchiness and princess-pain-in-the-ass syndrome, but luckily i know how to steer clear of that and avoid it when i can. the people i like aren't like that and we kind of band together. and believe me, there is endless amounts of shit talking. oh, and i got my first $5 tip... "we got a tip. wooo!" rumor is, when you have a job where you get tips, you stop visiting the ATM because you just often have small bills of cash. i can't wait!
last thing: i can start working on anyone who wants service at school. it'll help me get credit and you can see me in action. the services i can provide: waxing, haircolor, updos, haircuts, manicures, acrylic/gel nails, and pedicures. i would love to see my family there. call me if you want details! come play!

as my IQ slips a few points a little each day....
the little joke around these parts is the lack of highly intellectual stimulation i'm getting while at beauty school. it was a good joke within the circle of psych majors when i was at college that we would say "this is why we are psych majors" when asked to do complicated math. but being in beauty school is now infinitely worse. andy is glad that at least i haven't lost my phenomenal vocabulary. i personally think that could be the next to go.
i haven't not been updating due to lack of things to say. i've just been so exhausted. and not being in front of a computer all day really sucks. it's hard to get used to.
we're going to disneyland in a couple of weeks. toto and his girlfriend are coming here for his birthday and we get to go to the happiest place on earth. we haven't been in a few years and this will be the first time julena will go. i'm so excited.
okay, i'm gonna go downstairs to make breakfast. it's still weird getting used to my weekends being sunday and monday.

crybaby girls and the bitching and whining that never ends
i had a tough day yesterday. to basically sum it up, i was almost pushed over the edge with the girls at beauty school and how immature they are. i know it makes it sound like i'm "like oh, so MATURE" but that's not what i'm saying. they just bitch and complain about EVERYTHING. mostly it's just hard being around all that negativity and i just want to run away screaming.
today we are having a potluck because the old freshman are moving into phase 2 and we have a new set of freshman coming on tuesday. i hope today goes better than yesterday. i made my award winning chili when there are some girls there that are in charge of bringing a bag of forks. oh, goodness.
i have to get ready for the last day of week 4 of beauty school. peace out yo.

hairstylists don't CUT hair, we SCULPT it.
look at that, i'm part of that "we" club. that must be because i cut hair for the first time today! okay, so it was only on a doll head and i probably cut 1/16 of an inch off, but it was exciting nonetheless. what a complex process.
so, as a perk of being in beauty school, we get neat things. on monday, we got a 4 hour class on makeup by the makeup brand that we sell at school. the first 2 hours were product knowledge and the last 2 hours were technique and application. it was great!
anyway, just thought i'd update on my beauty school progress. i have to go to sleep now because i woke up late this morning and i don't need that to happen again tomorrow.
