Day One - Monday, October 16th

Very awkward. Only seven other people in the class, all girls. We had an administrator with us rather than our instructor. I was obviously the only little Mormon girl as the teacher announced a smoke break and the entire class walked out the door, cigarette in hand. One girl soon came back in and said to me "Ugh, I just quit last week." I almost said "Me too." but stopped myself, as she wouldn't understand the humor. They soon all returned and bought sodas. I said, "Ugh, I just quit last week." Ha!

We got our large metal containers with drawers and a huge box each full of anything an aspiring cosmetologist could desire. Combs, irons, shears, mannequin heads; Christmas in October! I left thoroughly overwhelmed and unsure I could handle two whole years.

Richard asked if I work on cadavers then if the hair on my mannequin practice head came from cadavers, I said I didn't know. He named it "Car Crash Carrie", hahaha.
