Update

I haven't written in a while, so I figured I should update you on school and everything.

First off, I think it is important to mention that I got through Core (the first phase of school), and now I'm in Adaptive (the second phase, there's three altogether). In order to pass Core you have to take a written test and floor test. I didn't stress about the floor test because we had to do simple things like tint applications and rolling perms. Easy. But what wasn't so easy was the written test. We basically had to memorize everything we learned in school so far. I stressed out for 2 weeks about it. My face broke out and I had like 4 mental break downs. But when it was all said and done I ended up getting a 97% on the written and 100% on the floor. I was a little upset that I didn't get 100% on both, but I was still pretty proud.

So now I am in Adaptive. I can work on guests. I like it better than Core because we are always doing hands on things. I had my first guest a couple weeks ago. I wasn't really nervous because I knew that the Learning Leaders would help me if I needed it. It did a woman's haircut, and I didn't do too bad. Go me!

There was a competition in school where the winners got to attend a hair show in Buffalo and assist backstage with Scott Cole and Linda Yodice. I worked extremely hard on it and with the help of my mentor, I did really good. It turns out only 2 people attempted it, 2 people won, and 3 ended up going. I didn't have any competition, so I won! (Although I think I would of won if I did have competition because I did put a lot of effort into it.)

I got back from the show last night. It was amazing. I got one on one time with Scott and Linda. They are the nicest people. They both made sure to make an effort of coming up to us and they made us feel welcome and important. When we got there on Sunday, we went straight to a salon. We jumped right in and began helping out. We ripped foils, swept up, and assisted whenever they needed us. It was great. Then we went to the hotel. We checked out the stage where we would be working at in the morning. We were impressed. The stage was pretty big and the models costumes were awesome. That night we decided to eat at the restaurant in the hotel. Turns out so did LMFAO (the guys that sing 'I'm in Miami Trick'). When they were done eating we followed them out of the restaurant into the lobby. The one girl who was with us asked for a picture and then we started to talk. They invited us to their show like 3 minutes away. To make a long story short, we got to party with them in their VIP room before and after the show and I danced with them on stage. It was awesome, the most fun I have ever had. I got about an hour of sleep that night. In the morning we went to help finish prepping the models. That was a lot of fun too. The show turned out pretty good. The models looked amazing, and Scott is the funniest guy to listen to. He cracks jokes and sings a lot. He is so cute. Linda is cute too, just not as crazy as Scott. Scott told us he has ADD and Dyslexia a couple times, lol.

So all in all, the trip was amazing. Sorry this entry was boring to read, I'm just not inspired to write anything. I felt an update was needed though.
