First day of school

Today was my first day of school at The Skin Science Institute. I was so nervous and excited this morning that I made my self sick and felt nauseas; it was horrible!! I've had acid reflux since I was a little girl and it recently got worse but it was especially horrible this morning. (I recently had a Endoscopy in January, where the doctor found inflammation of the stomach, and stomach acid leaking into the duodenum or the first part of the small intestine. They don't know why but that's the explanation of all my pain along with the acid reflux) K now back to school...

 It didn't help that I lost an hour of sleep from day light savings the day before. I could hardly eat my breakfast but luckily they had a light breakfast there. Most of the people in my class are part time, and most of them are a lot older than me with families of their own. Hopefully there will be some girls more my age in other classes. In my class there is only four other full time girls like myself so it's really nice that it's such a small intimate class. The downside? There is one bigger lady who smells of bad BO, which is no fun to smell, especially since I will have to practice on her at least once during my school experience!! This industry is all about being presentable to all the senses, even smell... Hopefully someone will say something to her in private not to embarrass her but ultimately help her in the end.

I go to school from 8:30-5:00 Monday through Friday for about 8 months to get my master aesthetician license.Today we just went over the basics of how the school works and what we will learn. We had an hour and a half to eat lunch and do whatever we want. I forgot my laptop so I was pretty bored during that time. After that time we had class about on how to wax and all types of hair removals. It was really interesting and cannot wait to start. All the girl swear by waxing because if done right hair will not show for about 4 to 6 weeks and it ex foliates your skin. Tomorrow we are learning about nails and how to do manicures and pedicures. I'm so excited for the paraffin which is like dipping your hands or feet in a type of wax and they wrap a warm towel around it and let it sit for a while. I don't know why it's good for the skin but I remember years ago when I came to get a pedicure it felt soooooo good! I'm so excited to become an aesthetician!
