Today was a really rainy day. When I walked into the school I got a visitors pass because I knew the security guard wouldn’t let me go into the building. Last time I stayed in a classroom with Ms. Cindy, so I figured today I’d do the same. I stayed in Ms. Cindy’s class for the half of the day, and then Chalene passed by and took me out of class. She told me that she would prefer me on the clinic where all the action happens, and everyone is doing either a person’s hair, or a nails. She told me it was so I can observe the student’s, and learn something out of it. I knew the reason she took me out of class was because I was sitting down in Ms. Cindy’s class. So I went to the clinic, and watched a couple girls do some roller sets, and blow-dries. It was getting pretty boring so I went back to Cindy’s class for the last 30 minutes of the day. When I walked In the class they were talking about facials, and makeup application, and practicing on manikin dolls. I was immediately interested because it had to do with makeup. Ms. Cindy handed out a sheet that went through the steps of how to do facials. The first step is to put cleansing cream on the face, and then wipe it off with a towel, and toner. Then put massage cream on, and do all twelve facial manipulations four times for each minip. The manipulations were shown on the handout that Ms. Cindy had given out. After het a hot towel and wipe off the massage cream. Next for the makeup application first thing is to wipe the face with a toner, and put moisturizer on. After putting on the moisturizer you then apply the foundation on. Next is the eye shadow, blush, and lipstick. I wondered what happened to the mascara?? Ms. Cindy explained that for state boards mascara is prohibited because students have a certain amount of time to finish so it’s dangerous that that you can poke someone’s eye out when trying to rush. Also in state boarding everything used has to be disposable, and always use the white cap for makeup, and the black cap for facials. They only have 15 minutes to complete the facial, and 5 minutes to complete the makeup application. That’s so crazy because when I do my makeup I at least take 30 minutes, and that’s when I’m rushing. When I actually take my time I take about an hour on my face. Yes you can call me a little exaggerating but hey I love looking goodJ. Today I definitely learned to communicate more. I should have let Ms. Chalene know that I was going to be staying in Ms. Cindy’s room. I hope they don’t think I’m their just to chill, and hang out. I really didn’t think I needed to ask for permission. Even though I was just sitting down in Ms. Cindy’s room I was really paying attention to what they were talking about.
