There is a possibility I have a deathly contagious disease...

Ok ok...maybe I don't have a disease. But I could. Today was the worst day of my life! The most horrible thing that could ever happen to me did. I gave someone a pedicure today!! It is very possible that I could have died of repulsiveness.
I know you might be thinking I'm making a big deal out of nothing at all. But it is a big deal. I HATE feet! Pretty much more than anything else ever. This isn't just something I find slightly irritating. It's something that makes me sick to even think about. Some people hate spiders or snakes maybe even getting old. Nope not me. I'm afraid of feet. And it was a horrible experience.
So about this nasty procedure I had to take part in. Everyone in my class knows I've been dreading this day. Trust me I've talked about it. So no one wanted to be my partner in fear that I would throw up on them once I saw their nasty feet. Which isn't exactly a stretch I really did want to. Anyways, there were 10 sighs of relief when the names were called about who was to be paired up with who. The 11th girl had the look of death on her face knowing I would have to be her partner. I want you to know I tried to be positive and forward focused but it is freaking hard when you have someones foot in your face and you have to massage it for ten freaking minutes each foot! And to make it worse this girl has been a swimmer all her life! Have you ever seen a swimmers foot?! I hadn't until today and it's not something I would ever like to experience again. No bueno. Her toes were webbed together, her heals were coarse and flaking off, and her toe nails stained yellow from all the chlorine. I'm sure the bright orange toe nail polish that I used made everything look tons better.
I better get used to feet seeing as most girls have AT LEAST 5 pedicures a week while at school.

All I can say is....I will never look at Michael Phelps the same way again.

And being at Paul Mitchell finally sets in!

So I've been in school for a month now. 12 more to go! Wahoo!! I'm really starting to like it. I learned how to cut hair this week. It was crazy! I was way nervous but it actually ended up being pretty good. I can't wait to do it on a real person and not a doll head. This next week is going to be spa week, which includes pedicures. I think I might just gag. I hate feet...even my feet make me sick...blah. Not excited but I'll have to get over it sometime so why not have it be now.
Anyways. This week was crazy awesome. Doing hair finally set in and I got mine done!!! I cut off 6 inches of hair! It's way short but I love it. It takes 10 minutes to get ready everyday and it even looks good haha. I colored it as well. No more blonde for me. I'm back to brown with a little bit of red. I love the color too. It's just wonderful. I'll have to post pictures when I take some. From what the chickas tell me at school I look a lot older which is awesome seeing as I'm the youngest person there and they all make jokes about it. haha oh good good times!!!

Paul Mitchell paper

So I had to write a paper for school the other day. I thought I would post it. I know i'm horrible at writing but I try so don't laugh too hard.

First I would like to say I’m grateful for all my family and friends, that’s how these papers are suppose to start out, right? Being thankful for all the obvious things like our house, car, friends, pets, family, and who can forget The Paul Mitchell Hair Academy, you know, loving every moment and being so very grateful for the things that make you most happy. But what about that boy who first broke your heart and made you feel like you would never be happy again, or that one time you were stuck in the hospital for 2 weeks with appendicitis and meningitis at the same time. Do you remember the classes you failed and the fights you got in with your mom? Or even when the boy you loved moved away to a different state to go to college? Why can’t we all be grateful for those moments. The moments that can be summed up as the hardest points in our life.

We have all had trials in our lives, and times where it seems like it would be easier if that blow that put us flat on our backs would keep us down on the ground. It takes everything we have to get back up and try it all over again, knowing there is that chance we will end up right back where we started. It seems everyone around us is always saying ‘press forward, it gets so much better,’ but how do you know it ever will. At times you might think life is just a series of failure lined up one right after the other, and it would be easier to let it all pass you by and not continue to be that person you set out to be. Is it even possible to be grateful for heartache and disappointment?

So as this amazing boy moves away from you and you feel like you might not ever smile the same way again, can you really say thank you? Thank you for all the good times we have had together and the laughs that carried over for days to come. Thanks for sending me flowers when I moved away from my mom, thanks for making me want to be better so that when people looked at us together, they understood maybe what you were thinking when you chose to be with me. Thank you for making me grow and understand just what this life is about.

Because of this heartache I understand what it means to smile when I see my family, and laugh until my sides hurt with my friends. I’m thankful for having money tight so I know how much it means to be at an amazing school. Thanks for that boy who broke my heart so I know exactly what I don’t want, and exactly what I need. Thank you for making me better, stronger, and happier because I’ve been low, and I know being low gives us an amazing view to look up at.

So here is to my first time blogging. We will see how good I am at it!
Wel...I moved to Rexburg the first part of July and started Paul Mitchell later that month. It's going pretty sweet. I have to say that being in a classroom for 6 weeks isn't my favorite thing but i'm half way done with core and then I'm out on the floor doing hair on something other then a doll head. I love the new challenges life is bringing me and can't wait to see what else is in store for my life. It's crazy how different life is from living at home but I do love it. However, I do miss my moms cooking! Cup-of-Soups are getting really old, really fast. I need to get on the cooking thing. ;)
I'm staying busy and living life to the fullest. I never know what tomorrow will bring or if I will even get to see it so I want to always be happy. Some people dance in the rain and some people just get wet. I'll be dancing my way through life!
