Just Breathe...

So I don't want to say this but is everyone that work in the administration offices of EVERY school just incompetent? I know it's not EVERYone but my goodness. I am in the process of transferring to school in the City and did not realize that I have to basically micro-manage the process.

I call up my old school to confirm my withdrawal papers were submitted and everything checked out okay. I did find out that the school I am trying to transfer to did not contact the Director of Education which should have happened a week ago. So being the investigator that I am, I decided to call the "TRANSFER Admin" at the new school. She's reassuring me that she requested my transcript but had not gotten a response and filling me with brush offs about how long the process could take. So I proceed to interigate and find out that this woman requested my transcript from a random school in NORTH CAROLINA!!!! OMG! Is she serious? I live in NJ why would I be in school in North Carolina!!!

Thankfully I followed up with her and she sent it to the right person! Phewwww! I pray I am back in school by September, this vision has got to come to pass! In JESUS name!!!

The World of Cosmetology School

So I finaly decided to increase my debt for a good cause...pursing my dreams!

I enrolled in cosmetology school on June 23rd at Concorde School of Beauty in Bloomfield, NJ. Word of advise, before you pick any school, take some time to visit and speak to a few students if they allow you.

Due to my current project at work (for those who don't know, I am in IT consulting) I decided to transfer to Empire Beauty School in New York on 34th Street. I visited to school last Friday and loved what I saw. Though I did not get a chance to speak to all the students and realize no place is perfect, I liked the presentation. First impressions mean so much, so often and I like what I saw.
Another good thing about transferring is New York require less credit hours to obtain the license. If you need any information on this, leave a comment and I will let you know!

So I am on a short break right now, until Sept 15th when I resume class at my new school. Unfortunately that's my birthday, but I will take the day off and just make sure I enjoy the entire weekend! I AM ACCEPTING ALL GIFTS...SO FEEL FREE TO GIVE GIVE GIVE!!! LOL

I will continue posting new information about cosmetology school, the good, the bad and the ugly! as well as any tips I have learned along the way.
