Cut, Perm, Shampoo...

Four days in and I'm ready for Friday. It's fun and I'm learning a lot, but still ready for the weekend. So, today we had to roll our manikin for a perm and do it in a hour. I did mine in 42 minutes! I was excited about that because if we completed it in the time frame we don't have to do it again!! Yeah. It's a little boring to do over and over again.

Okay, I know you're ready for the funny stories so here we go! Today, Akeem (the he/she), got eyelashes glued on! He said he just feels so much better with his lashes! He also said he's ready for the weekend because he wants to go out to a club. He wants to wear his black leather leggings and tank top with a leather jacket! He doesn't want to wear the pencil skirt he wore last time, it's not comfortable! I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP!!! On a more serious note, he did start asking some very important questions today. He said he wanted to know what it said in the Bible about homosexuals. Hannah and I told him about the scripture references. She's one of the youth ministers at Triumph. We talked about it for a few minutes until the conversation took on a life of itself. Some of the people started giving their thoughts (wrong thoughts) and that's not good. Unbelievers will tend to listen to false teachings because they sound better or easier. We changed the subject but a window has been opened!

I'm learning very quickly that black women rarely have their own hair. They all wear extensions, all the time! They're good ones too. I'm surprised at some of them. I'll say, "that's your hair, right?" It never is. I'm going to have to learn how to do that. They pay a lot of money for that.

I've met a lot of new people at school, Carribean, Celica, Akeem, Kanesha, Tamika. That's all I can think of! I need to write them down.

We'll see what tomorrow holds.
