So Now The Time Comes

Well Well Well. I think it is time to update my life a lil bit. I get so stuck in the routine everyday that I just feel like a hamster running on my wheel. So pretty much nothing much has changed. I'm first counselor in relief society, I go to school all day sometimes til late at night and then the nights I'm not at school I go to work. So fun, right? haha. Good thing I love what I do! Right now I'm on all 4 teams at school, which include: Student Council, Design Team, Take Home Team, and Core Mentor. And most recently I have been accepted into Phase 2!! So just to clarify what all of that gibberish means, I suppose I shold explain. Student council is a team in school that does fundraisers because "Black is giving Back", well that's the motto at school. We basically do lots of service and get the Paul Mitchell name into the community and give back to all those in need. Currently we are doing Shop with a Cop, where children who don't get a Christmas are taken to shop at Kmart and get to eat McDonald's with the local cops. And we're doing some other with local charities. So that's that. Now for good old Design Team. Well this has got to be the most time consuming and amazing team! I put in at least 20-30 extra hours a week for this team. We get out in the community and the surrounding areas and do alot of quickstyling and show people what we are all about. For example, we recently went to an AndOne bball game and styled hair thruout the game. We also have mutual groups come in and teach them some easy ways to add to your hair, and we do plays and musicals, etc. We pretty much do it all! And more. lol. Take home Team is so fun too and I get some good extra hours as well. Basically what we are, are "product specialists" for the school. We learn in depth about hair products, how to run the pharmacy, etc. We also get the opportunity to do photo shoots!! It's so fun! I've learned a ton on this team in particular! As a Core Mentor, I get to work with the new students, we call "core". They are in core for 6 weeks and learn the basics of all we do. As a core mentor I get to assist the learning leader and help teach, etc. It's really neat to see progression! I love it. Lastly the Phase 2 is kind of a big deal. lol. but seriously. It is like an honors program at school. You have to have at least 1500 hours of schooling done, and several other requirements of which I will not mention. Let's just say you get to charge $13 for a haircut instead of $8. So that's gotta say something, right?! It's really like a salon feel because there are only allowed to be 12 people in Phase 2. I feel so lucky and blessed to have been interviewed and chosen to be on it! It's basically going to help me step up my technical skills!!! I'm pumped!



Anyways lately I have been able to attend a few concerts as well! I've seen Mury, Valencia, the Hush Sound, The Classic Crime, Bayside, The Spill Canvas, and soon to be the Aquabats!!! They aren't all really big bands, but I love it cuz they play at smaller venues and I get to meet them!! I feel so at one with things when I'm at a show! There's nothing like the feel of amazing live music blasting and dancing all around! It's totally my chill place!



Well that is pretty much my life! For real. I love it. The only thing I would change is that I would have more time to talk to my family and certain friends....I miss it!



Well the holidays are soon here, so that's good! Time for some catching up!



**If you would like to hear me talk about anything specific, lemme know! I can write about almost anything =) **






Also here's a few pics from some of the concerts!
