When I woke up, and looked outside it was another rainy day. I hate rainy days because it makes me feel like I just want to stay home all day. As I got to Euphoria, Lincoln Tech was closed again so there was no way I could get in to sign in. I went through the student’s way, and signed in there like usually, I figured this is going to be my everyday routine. I walked into clinic floor, and sat at a station while Angela, the secretary told me what I’ll be doing today. I sat there for about 15 minutes, and seen all the students coming in, set up their stations, and manikins. Angela then came, and told me that she was going to put me in dispensary again. My friend Suheiny was sitting next to me, and told Angela why did I need to be in dispensary again because I was put in there two times already. Angela told her that she doesn’t have any one else who can cover it, and that I was her only choice. Angela got mad, and told Suheiny that it wasn’t any of her business what I did. I told Angela that it was okay it didn’t bother me at all to do dispensary. I didn’t get mad at Suheiny because she was just looking out for me. I then went into dispensary, and stared setting out some pedicure, and manicure stuff. Through the day I was giving students products, and making sure they signed out everything they used. After that Angela told me that I can leave dispensary, and go on clinic floor. Suheiny didn’t have any clients so I asked her if I could do her hair. She told me that I had to ask the teacher Ms. Tina to see if it was alright. Ms. Tina said it was fine so we got right into it. I started washing her hair. After I washed her hair, I started the blow dry. Her hair was really easy to do because she had smooth, straight hair so it wasn’t a struggle at all. She loved how her hair came out, and that’s the most important. After I watched one of the students do some highlights. They actually came out really good. I told the student that I was thinking of doing some highlights myself. She told me that next class for my last day that she would do some highlights on me, but that I would have to do her makeup also. I told her no problem that I’ll bring in all the products, and do her makeup. I’m really looking forward to getting my new look and also doing her makeup. I have to go on Saturday morning to make up hours. I hope we have enough time on Wednesday to do my hair, and get her makeup done also.

As I walked to the Lincoln Technical Institute their door was closed, so that meant no one had gotten there yet. I then walked through the student door, and as I tried walking through regular a new security guard was there, and she just completely stopped me. She told me that if I had a badge, or a visitors pass. I told her that the doors were closed from Lincoln Tech, and there was no way I could have gotten the visitors pass. She told me to sign in, and that she needed to check my purse. I got sort of offended because out of everyone walking in she had to check my purse thinking I probably had some weapons. I was so upset I grabbed my purse, and threw it at her. She checked it, and then told me I could now enter. It got me mad because that security guard had seen me before so she was just trying to cause me trouble. As I walked to the front office, the security Jessica told me to meanwhile stay on the clinic floor until she figures out where she’s going to put me today. The clinic floor was pretty empty, there are usually a lot of students, but today wasn’t like that. I then found out that there was a fashion show the night before in New York. A lot of students attended and they were probably exhausted because they got back really late. I was talking to some of the, and I was explaining to them my nervous breakdown I had yesterday when presenting my practice exhibition. They all gave ne really good advice. They told me that’s how they felt when they first had to practice doing hair, nails, and esthetics on real people, and actually do hair color on them, and hair cuts. When they first attended Euphoria they were use to practicing their skills on manikins so that was really nerve racking for them. It’s different when you’re practicing on a manikin rather than a real human being. If you make a mistake on the manikin it doesn’t really matter because it’s just a doll, but when it’s a person their u have to be really careful because you always want to have your customer happy. They told me that they can tell makeup is something I’m passionate about, and I shouldn’t feel nervous when talking about something I know so much about. I told them I got the chance to do a redo, and for my redo I’m gong to actually do someone’s makeup, and explain step by step what I’m applying to her, and what products I’m using. I feel like if I’m hands on during my exhibition it wouldn’t be as nerve-racking as to just standing in front of my audience, and just talking for half an hour. They really made me feel with more confidence, and useful advice. I then joined my friend Suheiny who was going to be doing a spa pedicure. I was curious to see how a pedicure was done. Suheiny first started off filing the woman’s toe nails. The rest was a little confusing. I know that they use this special minty cream that smells amazingly great, and they give a really nice massage with it. They then put warm towels on the feet this gives a nice, smooth, cool, feeling. The woman who was getting the pedicure done said it felt really relaxing. I was definitely thinking of getting a pedicure myself. After Suheiny was done with her pedicure my other friend Samantha asked me if she could paint my nails red because it’s something she’s not really good at doing, and she needs a little more practice. As the phrase goes “practice makes perfect’. Then Samantha asked me if I can flat iron her hair. It was my pleasure because I love doing any thing that has to do with making people look their best.

Today is my birthday!!!! I am officially 18 years old now. I was so excited when I got up because hello it’s the most important say of the year. Today I wasn’t that excited because I had to get up early to go into internship, but hey it’s my b-day and I cannot be depressed. On top of that it was so ugly outside, it was raining A LOT. T got to Euphoria, and signed in as usual. I went up to the front desk to ask what I’ll be assigned to do today. The secretary told me that she’s going to put me into dispensary again. Another boring day, but hey what can I do. I wasn’t alone though they assigned another student her name is Megan, and she’s really sweet. I started organizing a little, and then a lot of students came, and started me for products. I also had to set up pedicure, and manicure products, and make cups of gel. It’s not that bad, but definitely get’s boring. I also folded towels that had cam out of the laundry room. These towels are assigned to different rooms like the white towels that are stained go to the hair washer section, the peach one’s go to the nail, and spa section, and the white clean ones are for the facial, and massage rooms. Around 11am I went on my lunch break, and seen an old friend of mine. I hadn’t seen him in a long time so it was nice. I then had a couple people ask me for the color developers, and shampoos. I learned the steps of doing a facial. This was really interesting because I’ve always been curious of how to do a facial. First step is to have the bed all setup, tell the client to change into a rob, when the client lays on the bed you ask them what type of skin they have for example sensitive, perfect combination, dry, or oily. Depending on what type of skin that person has you use type of products for that skin type. After cleansing the skin with a special facial sponge, put toner, and do it for every step. Then exfoliate the skin, and take it off with a warm towel. Then add the night cream, and massage into the skin for 20 minutes. After the massage take the massage cream off with a toner, then apply the mask, and leave the mask on for 10 to 15 minutes. After remove mask with a warm towel, and apply eye cream under eye. The last and final step is the day cream, and there is a facial. Wow doesn’t that sound relaxing. I really need a facial right about now. There are a lot of steps to a facial which can get a little confusing, but after you get the drift. I and a student Joan who started helping me organize the dispensary because it was almost the end of the day, and everyone was bringing products back so it started getting a little hectic. After we organized everything, and put products where they belonged I started going around the clinic to collect the dirty towels any of the students had. After collecting all towels I started brooming the dispensary floor to make sure it looked clean, and leave the room how it was left in the morning.
