Today for the first time the security guard didn’t give me any trouble. She told me to just sign in and that I was all set. I was so relieved. I then came and walked straight to the clinic because I knew Ms. Charlene didn’t want me in a classroom. Last couple of days that I’ve came in I’ve been getting in trouble so I wanted to make sure I kept myself busy, and not get on Ms. Charlene’s bad side. I went into the clinic floor, and sat until all the students were in. I seen Nichole coming towards me so I already figured she was going to sit next to me. She’s always smiling, and happy and it’s just good to have positive people around like that. I grabbed a manikin, and went to wash the dolls hair. I started doing roller sets. I was getting mad because when I would always try to do rollers they always come out loose. When other students did they’d come out nice and tight. So it was obvious that I was the one doing something wrong. I called over Ms. Tina who was the teacher for the clinic that day. I don’t really like Ms. Tina because she’s always on top of everybody making sure their busy doing something, but that’s related with hair, or cosmetics. I remember last class I was filing my nails on the clinic, and she got so upset. She told me that the students are not allowed to file nails, or do anything with nails. I’ve lately been getting annoyed with her, but hey she is the teacher and says the rules. So she came over vey nicely, and demonstrated how to properly do a roller. The width of the hair piece should be the width of the roller. I never knew that so that was helpful. I started getting the hang of it, and they were coming out pretty good. I didn’t finish the whole head because I was getting tired, so I decided to do something else. I washed the dolls head again because I had used gel, and I wanted to blow dry the dolls hair. I blow dried the dolls hair, and it came out real nice. I wanted to do something different to the hair so I decided to so curls on the hair with the curling iron. The curls definitely gave the hair more volume and more umph. I didn’t know what else to do so I started writing my journal. Then Ms. Linda told Nichole that she should practice on my hair do roller sets, and blow-dry my hair. Nichole was excited to practice on me so we immediately started doing my hair. We thought about it, and if she was to do a roller set on my hair it would take waaay too long, and it was almost the end of the day. My hairs long so it would take at least an hour or more. We decided to just wash my hair, and blow-dry it. When Ms. Linda passed by she got upset because she said the whole point of Nichole doing my hair was to practice roller sets. We tried to explain to her that it would take to long, and we would never finish by the end of the day. She said it was fine, but that we should know for the next time. Nichole blow-dried my hair but it came out a little puffy. I told her if it was okay if I finish the rest. I told her to not feel offended because my hair gets frizzy quick, and in order for it to come out straight I need to pass the blower a couple times. I” was finishing my hair, and then once again Ms. Tina passed by and told me that the students are not able to do their own hair while on the clinic. I was about fed up with her. It felt like everything bothers her. I told her that I’d hurry up, and do it because I wasn’t going to leave it all frizzy. I finished my hair, and then cleaned up my station. There was like ten minutes till the end of the day so I helped Nichole clean up. Nichole did do a great job on my hair; it was just a little humid, and frizzy but no big deal. The day was fun, and I came out looking glamorous!!
