Transformation Journey Series Launch

I Started Classes

I just realized how long it has been since I last posted anything. It has been FOREVER! I have just been so busy and with my classes starting, it had completely slipped my mind and I am so sorry x.x

In class we are supposed to work on our professional image and ad cosmetology students, this means we have to wear perfectly applied makeup, perfectly styled hair and well groomed manicured nails so I’m getting a haircut soon and a set of acrylics. I think im good on the makeup though. =)

I have quite a drive to class so I’m going to start a video segment on my YouTube account and I’ll try to post weekly. I already filmed a few times in the car but I couldn’t find a good balance of the air and music for the car ride to it came out cruddy not to mention my phone mount wasn’t tight enough and shook too much while I was filming.

Class so far has been pretty fun. Lots of book work for right now since we are still just starting out a lot of disease control and science right now. We have been working on our heads though. I have given Zoey 2 haircuts and a few styles including French braids and curls. We have even gone a scalp treatment on her and learned about relaxation massages to do while shampooing. XD

We have been taking LOTS of tests so far and I have been doing awesome on all of them I have an A for the class!!! IRSC has this awesome thing called Blackboard. It’s online and there is an app too. I’m in love with it. Our quizzes are on it, pdfs of chapter outlines and up to date grades. Its super helpful for staying on track and I can work on my tests and study anywhere I go by just using my tablet.

Speaking of my tablet, I need a new case. And since I’m replacing my case anyway, I figured I might as well look for a case with an attached keyboard so I can take better notes since my hand writing is chicken scratch.

LIFE UPDATE

School Shopping

Today I met with Mama Boots at IRSC to get all of my school supplies and my uniform. We ended up getting the supplies, the scrubs, the polo, my parking decal, my ID and I got a free IRSC shirt (GO PIONEERS!!!)

When I was on my way to meet mom at the school, the sky was clear here in Port St. Lucie. But between here and Fort Pierce, I hit a wall of rain on I95. I happened to be wearing flats today so I was supper happy that I always keep a pair of boots in my car for those rainy days that take you by surprise. Being a Floridian, it’s a good idea to be prepared for sudden rain considering how insane the weather patterns are here. "If you don’t like the weather, just wait five minutes" is practically the state's motto lol. Most people keep sneakers in their car if anything but why not be fashionable about it? My only real complaint about having to change shoes is that I didn’t have any socks so it felt icky sticky wearing the boots.  But seriously rain, what do?

After me and mom got to the school, I had to try on different size uniforms for half an hour just so Mama

Boots could rest easy knowing everything fit properly. For the Cosmetology department at IRSC, students are required to wear black scrub pants with either a black school scrub top with the Cosmetology logo on

the left side of the chest or a black polo with the same thing and a giant logo in the back. The polo made me feel like I was wearing a bowling shirt with the collar and design on the back. I’m just not used to collared shirts like that, but I love it still. =) and the whole time we were there we were entertaining the school store cashier with our usual back and forth and with mom making a mess of the place. And before we left the store, we picked up the incredible expensive Cosmetology kit. The box was huge and a pain to carry around.

After we left the book store I wanted to stop at the school merch shop next door and price check for a school hoodie. I have two shirts and a lanyard from AI and it’s depressing to have merch from a school I can’t attend anymore so I want merch from my new school. I saw a nice $20 hoodie and a cute pink $10 bag that I want but I have no money DX And while we were in there I found a section of imported makeup and such

from Boots! I know it sounds stupid but I’m just exited that I have access to it because I see bloggers like Zoe from Zoella and Rhiannon from Fashion Rocks My Socks talk about shopping there. I know it’s just the equivalent of our Walgreens here but still XD

And before we left the merch shop the cashier told us I could pick up my student ID and we were off to student services from there. They took a few pictures before I settled for one to use on my ID. The lighting wasn’t exactly flattering in there but I made do and I am rather happy now that I have my ID hanging from my rear view mirror in my car. And while we were there, I got my parking sticker and noticed a flyer for a free school shirt for students to pick up at the merch store if you have paid for your classes… WHICH MOM HAD. I was soooo happy to be able to walk away with merch from my school. Now I have my new shirt, my Cosmetology polo, and my Cosmetology scrub shirt. YAY!!!

After that Mama Boots and I just went to a nice lunch in down town Fort Pierce at Rinelli’s Yellow Tail Restaurant. It was nice besides the fact the speaker that was filling the restaurant with music was on its way out. It kept going mute and it was really annoying but the food was good and the laughs were great as always with Mama Boots. It was a great day.

THANK YOU MAMA BOOTS FOR THE SUPPLYS, LUNCH AND FOR THE GREAT DAY!

School Costs

Got my letter today that I was officially accepted into the cosmetology program at IRSC.... The letter came with a list of things I will need. The price of the text book is $75 from the school bookstore x.x I found a cheaper one online and I found one I can rent. Looks like there is no ebook. And then I need black scrubs and a school cosmetology program polo. And the biggest thing I will need is a cosmetology kit. You know, the box full of styling and cutting supplies? I couldn't find a price from the school but online it can break $300 DX
 My mom is going to have a heart attack x.x
