Exciting New Info!

Okay so I was talking to my boyfriends 2nd cousin who is a hair stylist in Pittsburgh. Her fiancee is attending the same Paul Mitchell school I am. He informed me on a couple of interesting things:
1. The first Wednesday of every month I am going to have to write a long ass paper. Writing papers in beauty school? whhhhaaat? Oh well, I guess it's a good thing.
2. The first part of school, they call it Core, is really hard. You actually have to study and take tests and stuff like that. I mean I knew I was going to have to do some memorization (chemicals and stuff like that) but I was unaware that its like hard core studying. I don't know what I was expecting.
3. I can go to Vegas for a hair show thingy if I sell a certain amount of Paul Mitchell products! Woo Hoo I'm excited!
4. I need to start socializing and "getting in good" with salons because I am going to need references for my resume. Since I can't be an assistant in a salon during school, due to school hours, this is going to be tricky. I guess I better start getting my hair done at a bunch of different places.
I also got a little more information about my dreams of going to NYC.
There's a place called Bumble and Bumble. It's like a school/salon to further your education as a cosmetologist. I can be an assistant there and take more classes at the same time. I want to be as educated as possible in this because I'm not going to college anymore. I better do this all the way. I'm pretty excited about Bumble and Bumble. I think it will open a huge door of opportunity for me. I just hope that I will be able to take more classes there and afford an apartment. New York is effing expensive! But so totally worth it. I'm hoping to move up there after I finish at PM...but well see!
Anyways, my info I got tonight at a family picnic has me pretty pumped. Plus, I'm thankful I met someone that will be going to the same school as me : )
