It's been a while!

It has definatly been a busy week for me! School has been jammed packed and I have been real busy with homework. It all payed off as the first mod of school is over! It is a great feeling to be able to move on to the second mod. There was a graduation on Friday for three girls. It is weird to think that in 11 months I will be up there talking about my Remington/cosmetology adventures. I am very excited about that :). Y'all know I love talking lol. Ok well this last week we learned and performed on each other, manicures, pedicures, and shampoo and styles. It was a lot of fun. I had a hard time having my pedicure done, I don't like people touching my feet, but it all worked out and I survived haha. I was very excited about getting our first kits on Friday. It includes our first manikins (her name is Miss Anna), combs and brushes, roller sets, clips, and the little carrying tote bag. I was very excited! :) Yesterday we went toFlorence to Alicia and Cassie's church for a Christmas party, it was a lot of fun. Everyone was real nice and the food was good, I loved the singing and the message from the Christmas story. Two ladies sang Mary did you know. It was beautiful! Being the Christmas season I knew we would be missing out on some traditions from home (like christmas trees, christmas eve party, the night before christmas book, etc) and I knew we were going to be making our own traditions, but I have to say that I really miss our family traditions. Things are so very different from home. A christmas tree here is $50! and they aren't the real ones like we have at home. Back home you know it's Christmas time just by the smell. It smells like Christmas, the trees, the food, everything. Here it smells like.....well it doesn't smell like Christmas. I guess I am just a bit homesick. Anywho, today I have some homework to finish and church to get to and then maybe a good Sunday movie with my sisters. (making our own traditions) :) take care everyone and remember to say Merry Christmas to someone, it may be the one thing that makes their day better. Maybe they are homesick, or have family away, or they could just use a smile and Merry Christmas.
