its been a while

so i havent blogged for a while and i thought id let you all know i am still alive!! thank goodness! well my life hasnt changed much, still crazy as usual. life here in good old sevier utah is going good its been snowing alot latley, so that means icy roads and cold days, it also means that im late for school almost everyday because they dont believe in plowing the roads at 7:30 in the mornings so yeah loads of fun! well yesterday at school we had a skills olympic competition. we had to match a picture and then change that style into an evening style. we also had to do four acrylic nails (forms) on a dowel. that is not my strongest ability. but i think i did pretty good. we sont find out who won until tuesday. long time away but it better be worth it!!! well thats all for now ill let you know how it went on tuesday. tootles

tips!

Today was my second day back to school and it has been so much fun! well, yesterday morning i had to do a three color weave on a lady who's hair was down to her butt! no kidding, well we weaved in some blond with a red brown color and then what was left out of foils we colored that with a darker warm brown. it turned out gorgeous, and she LOVED it!! Are you guys getting the picture? anyways when you get your hair done at a school you pay way way less then you would anywhere else. she most likely only had to pay maybe 35.00 for three colors. if you were to go to a regular salon that would have been around.. say 95-115.00. so yeah she was getting a total discount. anyways as student we are allowed to take tips if given. well I'm thinking this lady is going to be generous and give me a nice 5.00 tip. well she gets up and says thanks and then goes and pays for her color(s), then walks out the door! i was so mad and disappointed, i worked so hard and all i got was the satisfaction of doing a good job?!! that's a nice reward and all, but I'm a poor poor college girl! she should know that!

well the moral of this story is.. if you ever go to a restaurant or get your hair done please please tip them (except if they did an absolute horrible job and didn't even try). if its just a few dollars we'll take it.. (we'll take anything, serious!) so please put yourselves in our shoes and think how nice that would be to be shown how much you are appreciated. well gotta run. peace!

first day!

As you all know I work at the bank and today was my first day at our new
location.. I used to work inside albertsons but since our cute little
podunk towns population is too small for two branches we have
consolidated into one. So myself and five coworkers with a little
hesitation (ok a lot!) moved our tight knit family into a very
intimidating BIG branch. So as I said before today was my official first
day there! And let me tell ya I felt as if I was a brand new employee!
Which I'm not I've almost worked there for two years now. I didn't know
where anything was and I was too scatterd to ask anyone for help to find
things and I am so glad I only work 2 days a week now. It is a mad house
there. We are so busy whith our regular customers and the big branches
customers that its hard to keep up with everything! I miss our little
hole in the wall branch it was so fun and cozy and we could be loud and
obnoxious cause we were in a store where it is loud anyways! Now its so
quiet and everything echos. Oh well it will take a lot of getting used
to and a lot of adapting to my new surroundings. I'm gald the girls are
still with me to turn to when I need them!
I start school on monday! I'm way excited I've missed being there!
Although I haven't missed the early rising! Its good for me right? Well
I have a little over 700 hours only 1300 more to go! Seems like a lot
but it goes by fast! I figure in about 8 or 9 months I should be done! I
hope its sooner! Well I'm planning on posting pictures sometime! So you
can see some from our last day at the instore and see some of the girls
I work with and some other random stuff too! Ill get good at this
sometime! And thanks erin for helping me with this stuff your awesome!
