back to reality

Today was my first day back to school since being off for thanksgiving break. Ya'll this was my first significant break since i started school back in March, and i must say it felt awesome to have 5 consecutive days off! But today rolled around...my alarm went off as usual...i layed in bed for far too many snooze minutes ...and then finally I got up. today was one of those days where i knew  i was totally going to reap the consequences of my first "vacation" of this whole cosmetology school deal ....and yup this day was just plain silly. and when i say silly, what I really felt was "this has got to be a joke" .  this is when my reality check set in and i starting looking/longing for my next break at christmas.

1) this was my drive to school....oh hey fog i just really love (despise) you.  You would think that living in central california all my life, i would be used to this stuff....but nope. i still don't like it. people don't know how to drive in it, they don't turn their headlights on and it just seems like every car is out to get you. yeah, not a fan . also it almost made me late cause of how thick it was today.

(this below is on a normal day....yeah, craziness)

2) i got to school and was given a Perm....yes people still get those. and it wasn't just any old perm, it was a perm on yet the smallest known rollers in the beauty school universe. I started this thing at around 9:30 and i didn't walk her out until 2:00pm....i did do a little haircut on her but still. these things are not the funnest in the world. Also speaking of perm/haircut fun.... since these things take so long i never got to take a lunch until 2 rolled around and i had been up since 6:30 without eating a lick of food. homegirl was dying by that time and my brain was in a complete fog. during my haircut...within 2 snips of my shears, i took a nice little chunk out of my middle finger...started bleeding and had to awkwardly tell my client that i needed to go clean up and get a bandaid. whoops. 

3) i went to lunch (finally) and i looked down and found this GIANT bruise on my calf...white girl problems?  i have no idea if this came from my slaving away working at Phil's house the other day...or what .but yes, now if you see me limping around you all know why. 

(also please note my nice little bandaid on my middle finger )

ok so its not like today was the worst day in the world, I'm really just being totally dramatic, but it was just one of those days where those little things that happen throughout the day felt like HUGE things, since i was living in the lap of luxury these past 5 days on break. haha any of you out there understand what i was going through? DId any of you have a hard time getting back into the swing of things after this past weekend of too much turkey and shopping? please tell me i am not the only one
