I have a few other blogs which all serve different purposes, one to siphon my thoughts into one place and rant about life and this one was originally created to keep family and friends up to date on the happenings of me... but seeing as I have only posted four times all within two weeks of starting it which was September 2007 or so......
My goal is to write every Sunday... but we'll see how that goes
we'll start again.
It is the beginning of January 2009 and I am 3/4ths of the way done with hair school. I started Nov. 5th 2007 and will be done either the last week of March or the first week of April 2009.
In a week or two I will stitch from going 9-4:30 Tuesday-Saturday (a 35 hour schedule) to going Tuesday-Thursday 9am-10pm and Friday, Saturday 9-4:30 which will make me done with my 2000 hours about a month earlier than originally planned, and hopefully helping me finish my by 20th birthday on March 30th.
If anyone is going to understand my daily life maybe I should explain a few of the people in it first!
(Semi-)Comprehensive Guide to those Aubrey associates with:
I live in Sparks II apt # 2 with five other girls, one of which is my sister.
Lauri: Lauri is my older sister (four and a half years older) also my room room mate. We have the bedroom with bunk beds. I have bottom she has top. She works early morning custodial on BYU campus and therefore goes to bed by 8 every night.
Carolyn Befelt: Carolyn is a sophomore/junior at BYU. A studio art major she always has some project or another going on. She is cute and quirky, likes anime and video games. Her and Lauri get along very well.
Lindsay is not a student at BYU, she works long absurd hours at a nursing home/assisted living place. She never seems to be home when I am and when she is she is sleeping due to her absurd shifts at work. She went on a mission, loves to travel and foreign movies.
Ashley Stadler is 21 and amazing, her and Ariel hail from Lake Havasu, Arizona. Ashley is a early childhood ed major with a minor in music. I think that she is looking into being a music teacher or something cool like that. She has an amazing singing voice and is great fun to hang out with. She is 1st counselor of our wards relief society. Last year she put in her papers to go on a mission, got called to the Philippians but her boyfriend asked her to stay, so she did. They recently broke up because she was ready to get married but he wasn't. She plans on re-submitting her papers as soon as she gets enough money.
Ariel Cannon is the youngest in the apartment just having turned 18 last week. She skipped 8th grade and started BYU right after graduation. She is an exercise science major and wants to work in a hospital like her mother. Ashley and Ariel grew up in the same town and mock each other relentlessly, it is probably the best entertainment in Provo watching those two go at it. She is also a relief society teacher
So that is Sparks II #2. Aubrey Lauri, Carolyn Lindsay, Ashley and Ariel.
Other people I will talk about a lot are my few friends at school who include:
Cam 157 (Nelson): Just turned 30. He is a lifesaver and one of my favorite people in the world. He started school at PMtS the same time as I did. He is tall and skinny, over six foot. Before coming to hair school he was a ballet dancer for 18 years. Also, he does Drag. He has helped me through multiple near mental breakdowns at school and always has something positive to say. He calls me sweet-pea or sugar bear, which I think is adorable. I love my Cam friend
KD 77 (Tohara): 19. She is a feisty little thing, one of those people who upon first glance seems quiet and innocent. But this 5'3" girl reminds me of a cussing 6 year old. She is tiny but crazy. She also started school the same time I did. She is half white half Hawaiian-Japanese, but doesn't look very Asian. She is dating a Samoan named Cione who is 23 and constantly in and out of prison for fighting. Hahaha, she makes me giggle. KD also makes fun of everyone for everything, it is usually funny but can be hurtful at times as well... she makes constant fun of me for being friends with Jeremy.
Kelsy 11 (Huges): 19. Hails from California, parents moved to Utah soon before she started school (she also started with me) She is a drama queen and a bit shallow, but going to hair school you have to expect at least half the people to be like that. Kelsey is my friend of convenience, because we started together not because we have anything in common, but I still enjoy talking to her at school.
Kiley 22 (Leishman): 19 Lives next door to me in Sparks #3. She also started school with me back in November of '07. Because we live in the same complex we are in the same church ward. I took the summer off as did most of the people I talk to at school, but Kiley didn't so she was ahead of us. A few months ago she got into a car crash, no one was hurt but her car was totalled. She switched from day school (9-4:30 five days a week) to night school (5-10 four days a week) so she could work more and pay for her car. So now I am slightly ahead of her as far as hours at school go. I don't see her much because when I'm as school she's at work and when she's at school I'm home, but we see each other at church. She is relief society secretary. Also, Kiley is the only one I will let cut my hair, she is the only one who has cut my hair in over a year, because we go to school at different times I now go into her during Night school and pay full price (only $8) for her to continue the style I have... I really don't know what I'm going to do once I move away!
Kayce Heap 137: She is amazing, also started with me. When she started school she was a single mother of three kids, a few months back she got married to a single father of two and they are now pregnant with a little girl! I want to say she is 34 but I could be wrong... She is someone at school I can talk to about things that require more than a high school intelligence, and she has been around the block and knows things.
Jenny 72: Jenny is 17 and started school less than five months ago. She is the person that I hang out with the most at school, I'm not really sure why. She is a really good listener and doesn't mock me at all. I feel comfortable telling Jenny about most things that go on. We are both Saturday students while the majority of everyone else come on Monday and not Saturday.
Madison 89: 21, started with Jenny. A transfer student from Florida. In Florida you only need 1400 hours not the 2000 hours required in Utah. She was working in a salon in Florida when she moved to Utah and had to come back to school to catch up on hours, even though she started recently we will be finished around the same time. She hangs out with Jenny and I and has similar humors to us. We make fun of each other often, but never about anything serious.
Others who started school with me include: Michelle 12, Kendra 123, Kathy 41 (who will graduate very soon) Rikki, Bree, Julia 28
Teachers (or Learning Leaders, LL as they are called in the Paul Mitchell world) who I will talk about frequently include:
Gio: Has his own salon in down town Provo. He is the head cutting teacher and teaches class every Thursday. He is straight and seems to feel the need to Provo it constantly by flirting with all the girls. He tells lots of useless stories and is not a very good teacher at all. I like him alright as a person, and I don't mind at all when he is the LL over me when I'm doing someones hair, but his classes make me want to shank him with a rusty pair of shears.
Mikaela: She is new as of a few months ago and I love her to death. She is the Make-up teacher and as you may or may not know make-up is where my true passion lies. She is really good about getting us students re-energised about school. I learn a lot every time I have class with her and when she is over you on the floor when I'm doing hair she just makes you feel like you are worth a million bucks and you can do anything. When she points out discoveries (as there are no mistakes, only discoveries we learn from) she does it in such a way that makes you feel good about yourself and helps you learn for next time.
Sarah: One of my favorite LL. She doesn't teach a class, just out on the floor but I go out of my way to sit in the section that she is over so that she will be my LL for that day. She is great fun to talk to and knows what she is talking about when it comes to hair. She uses the word "perfect" a lot when checking my haircuts and makes me love what I do even more. Also, she will go out of her way after a service to find you and compliment your work.
Brittney: She is my favorite LL and my mentor. She teaches color class and knows a lot about the hair world. She works at Gio's salon on Center Street but also does some freelance make-up work. She often does bridal packages which include hair and make-up. She went to design school in California and is everything that I want to be. She is an amazing teacher and I learn something new every time I see her, even if she isn't teaching I learn about life, and hair, and beauty, and make-up and professionalism. I love her dearly.
Another person whom I love, the person I will most likely talk about the most is my best friend. My "facebook husband." My supporter, cohort, comrade and confidant.
Jeremy Coppock: He is 17, a senior in high school who will graduate June, 2009. I went to high school with him and we both did drama. We were only in three shows together as he doesn't do the musicals (he thinks he can't sing, but he can.) We became friends backstage of Twelfth Night my last show at Hanford High. Then in the beginning of October this year I randomly called him on the phone, ever since then we have talked on the phone every Friday and Saturday for anywhere to one hour up to five.
Our humors are very much alike, and very unlike most other peoples. He fits my usual male friend tendencies, as in he is gay.
We have the same insecurities, the same worries, the same fears. Our situations are very different, me being a Mormon girl who loves/gets along with all her family and lives w/ her sister and him being a gay Presbyterian (bordering on agnostic) who doesn't get along w/ any of his family and has a brother who causes him daily anguish... Our brains seem to run on the same wave length.
We talk about anything and everything. Different things that I don't think I could talk about with most other people.
So, now you know about most of the people I love/associate with, and will understand the rest of my blog a little bit better. :)
