Its all just the beginning

{I am tired and I don't feel like writing but I will so I don't forget my thoughts on my first couple of days}
Okay so I started school Tuesday. I will say that it was really good but very overwhelming. All of the "core" students (there are 19 of us by the way, ranging from ages 17 to 20) got our Paul Mitchell kits. It was kinda like Christmas... I got so much fun stuff. Straightener, blow dryer, curling iron, clips, capes, brushes, combs, mirror, manikin heads, shears etc. (All the essentials). I felt like an idiot because we had to unwrap and put all of our new, cool stuff in this little silver box. I was thinkin to myself, "I have no clue where this all goes and its not gunna fit". Thankfully one of the girls there helped me out. Anyways... today and yesterdays focus was basically on learning the Paul Mitchell "Culture". They are very focused on discovering what type of learner you are. (Kinesthetic, Visual, etc). They also focus on always being positive and leaving negativity at the door. Every morning we start out by having a "pow wow" where we discuss our victories, upcoming events, and do a warm up to wake everyone up.
We take all out notes with colorful scented markers on big sheets of paper using bubble charts and things like that. Music is always playing and they have a box of goodies (squishy putty, tops, fruit snacks, pipe cleaners, bendy animals etc) to play with at every desk. They definitely do things differently there. It is going to take some getting used to. But its fun and I am still excited : )
Little Side Note: I am feeling a little down tonight. I have discovered I can't braid cornrows! I used to be able to and I don't know what happened! Like what the hell?? Oh well. I will get it eventually.
