Wow, I can't even believe that my first week of school has already come & gone! What a blast it has been. I'll try to cover as much as I can remember!
Tues. January 4- I drove to school since I didn't know how the Coaster thing worked and went to school with hopes of meeting a girl who took the Coaster so we could ride together! Kind of surprising to me, I didn't feel nervous going in to school by myself. I guess I am growing up into a big girl!! I sat down in the waiting area where a few other girls sat, said "Hi" and listened to what they were talking about.. One of the girls said she lived in Oceanside and took the Coaster!! How amazing! Found out her name was Jennifer (but she goes by "Jennay") and also a Marine Wife. Even better! More girls crowded around the waiting area as time went on. And we were greeted by all the "older" students with enthusiastic "Hello New Core!! Awwww! You are going to love it here!" Core is what our first 6 weeks of class is called. So they call us new core! Hah. But everyone was soooo friendly and OPTIMISTIC! Definitely rubbed off on all of us "new kids" and set us in the right mood for the start of an exciting day for us! A learning leader (what they call teachers at school) walked us to our class and told us to find our names at the tables. Found mine in the back corner of the class. Sat down & told the girl in front of me "Hey.. I'm Chynna" and she picked up her pre-made name tag and pointed and said "Hi, I'm Jennifer A.!!" it was cute. Then Jennay sat down at my table too! And another girl, Ariel. Our "Learning Leader"'s name is Patricia (feels weird calling a teacher by only her first name, but I suppose I'll get use to it!) she claims she's been alive for a million years, and she's also one of the upbeat, positive women I've met! It's so nice to be around such positive energy, it encourages me to want to learn and also, be nice back. Later that morning, Patricia had each of us to stand & tell everyone our name, where we are from, something unique about yourself, and a funny story. That day was really long for all of us, because all we did was read over Orientation papers & Guidelines. Definitely not what we came to school to do, haha! Thankfully, Makenze had warned me about the first day so I was prepared. Anyway, I talked to Jennay about the Coaster & told her I would ride with her the next day. THERE IS SO MUCH MORE TO SAY BUT WHEW- I AM GETTING TIRED...
MY FIRST DAY--
Wednesday-Saturday
I forgot to mention on the first day we actually recieved our KITS!!!! It was like Christmas in our classroom!! We were all sooooooooo excited to unwrap everything and get it all set up in our fancy kits!! Made me feel professional without even knowing a clue about hair. Wednesday through Saturday has been a whirlwind. I cannot even believe how much we have been taught in such short amount of time. I learned yesterday that I cannot wear heels EVER AGAIN!! We stood ALL DAY LONG and my feet almost fell off because I wore uncomfortable (but CUTE.....) heels. So.. Today I wore my flats and stayed a happy camper. So in a nutshell, we learned how to to rope braids, over handed braids, under handed braids, fishtail braids, bamboo braids, angel braids, pin curls, fingerwaves, rollers, french twist & an updo in the shape of a BOW that is sooo cute!! Now, just because we were taught to do these things doesnt mean I actually know how. Well, I do know how to do most of them but I need a LOTTTTTTTTTT of practice!! And yes, if you are wondering, I've missed my baby girls SO MUCH! But in all honesty I don't have much time to miss them (which is a good thing) because we are so busy at school. I do feel like they look older everyday when I come home, and my time with them is more precious to me than ever. I've made friends with pretty much all 23 classmates and they all know me as "Chynna, from Alabama", but whatever, at least they don't make fun of my accent. Yeah, apparently I've got an accent! I'm sure I don't know what they mean....... :)
So today, we had a competition (ALREADY!?!?) on cutest "party look". I didn't know what I was doing but I just went with it. I went overboard with accessories because I had to make my dolls hair look good some how. So when I post the picture, don't hate. I've only been doing hair like 3 days. I can't wait to get better & actually be confident of what I am doing!
Well, that's my new life in a nutshell. I will try to update as much as possible. But my time is so limited now...
XOXO
