foiled again!

Lately the majority of my days at school have been filled with foiling hi lites. As far as grades go, they've been pretty high, so if you want a foil hi lite done, go out and buy foils and the color you would like and then call me, as far as interest goes...it's dwindling. This most likely is because I am slow. Slow, and precise. It's hard for me to do one and just go on. I like to make sure I've covered every hair, placed it neatly in the foil, fold the foil cleanly, without many wrinkles and such, and then check to make sure that the color(or colesteral as the case is now) is not leaking onto them clients(...mannequin's) head. This is all fine and dandy when one is only doing a partial foil to the top of the head, but when one is completely covering a whole entire head with foils...let's just say that my way of doing things is not all that time efficient.

On Friday afternoon, we started doing a Full Hi lite Slice - covering every-other section of hair with color(colesteral) and putting it into a foil, and doing this to the whole head. I got about 3/4 of the way through before it was time to leave - (I finished it up the next day, took out all the foils and then started again on a variation of what I had just completed.) Tedious. SO, tedious. By the end, the mannequin looked like she could pick up a radio signal better than the satellite station we were listening too. Not only was my Friday filled with foils(ALLITERATION!), but with what felt like impending doom. We had been told a week or so in advance that a test would be coming up soon. That we would have a pre-test on Friday, and the real test on Saturday.
So early Friday morning, we all went over our notes on Chapter Nine - The Theory of Haircutting - Salon Fundamentals and then sat down for the 35 question pre-test, the real test would be only 25 question, making every answer count.

I got 30/35, that translated into a grade would be about 85, maybe 86% (depending if you were feeling generous with your rounding.) Two of the five wrong answers were careless mistakes of circling 'a' instead of 'c' - I was half asleep, and simply not paying attention. I went home that night, tired out, and anxious about what was coming the next morning. I went to Leadership Core(a meeting where the juniors, seniors, and some the college age+ adults come together as the leadership for the youth group and have a bible study and discuss event schedules). That fellowship relaxed me until I got home...and studied till 11:00(with wonderful jazz music - thanks hedge) and then fell asleep with crazy dreams that I'm not quite sure helped me sleep well...

I was mentally prepping myself for the morning to come.
