So I decided back in January that I was going to go to cosmetology school in August. I had it all planned and was so excited! I had everything planned out. But for some reason things never go the way you plan them. My math credit didn't transfer so I had to take a placement test. I was going to study all summer so I could try and place in a higher math class. I waited to long. By the time I took my test registration had already started and my classes were filling up fast. I hurried up and took the test, and actually did pretty well. I had to wait one day for it to get in the system so I could register. The next day I woke up early to register. I could not register!! It kept telling me I needed pre req classes for the classes I was taking. But these were the first classes in the program. I had gone and talked to a counselor and these were the classes she told me to take. I was getting so frustrated! So I finally called the school to find out what was going on. And just my luck, the lady I needed to speak with was out of town and would be back on Monday...it was Tuesday. I had to wait a week. There was only one more opening in my classes. I checked everyday so see if they were still open, and to see if I could register. I still could not register but there was still an opening. But Sunday night I checked and it was full...someone had just signed up. I was so disappointed. How could they register but I couldn't. I didn't get. I was still going to call on Monday morning to figure out what the deal was so I wouldn't have that problem next semester. I called Monday morning and had to wait forever to be able to talk to this lady. I finally got through to her and asked what the deal was. Well just my luck again, I was registering wrong. I didn't know there was a certain way you had to register for the classes. I was so mad at myself. It was because of my stupidity that I would not be starting school in August. When I was talking to the lady she said she would put me on a waiting list and to check everyday to see if someone had dropped out. So thats what I did. I checked everyday numerous times to see if anyone had dropped out. But no had. I was getting more and more down about the situation. Its a two year program and I needed to start it soon so I could finish by the time Greg and I move for physical therapy school. I saw no point in going anymore. But I kept checking and decided that I could at least take some of the general classes they require. At least that way I would still be working towards my liscens. That was my plan. It wasn't the one I originally planned on but it would work.
But today while I was watching tv with Greg when I got home from running my phone rang. I looked and didn't recognize the number so I didn't answer. They left a message so I listened to that. It was Bonnie at the SLCC cosmetology office. She was asking if I was still intrested in going to school this August. I couldn't believe it! I was so excited! I got a huge smile on my face and yelled at Greg "I might be able to start school in August!" I ran upstairs where I had better service so I could call her back. I called and she didn't answer, so I left a message. I sat down with Greg and was just waiting for her to call me back. But I couldnt wait anymore, I had to go shower. As soon as I get in the shower and start washing my face my phone rings. I turn off the water and jump out and it was her. We talked for a little bit, then she asked for some information that I had in my room. So I ran to my room in a towl with my hair in a shower cap, mascara all over my eyes and a little fashwash still on. I get in our room and Greg just looks at me and starts to laugh. I tell her the information and she says that she will get me all registered. I was so happy! I could not stop smiling! It was the best morning!
So its official. Starting in August I will be starting cosmetology school! I am so excited. I have never been so excited about school before. This is something I have always loved and have always wanted to do, and I'm finally doing it!
Im so excited to start cutting hair! I try to do it now, but I could definatly use some school. Hopefully next time I cut Greg's hair he won't look so scared!
