well it's almost christmas. i'm currently on winter break from barbering school, we get a whole week. but the sad thing is the only other break we get is a week in the summer. at least that means i'll get my degree sooner.
now that i'm an adult i can see why other adults are so stressed by the holiday season. gift giving is fun but it's also hard and expensive. of course one way to get around the costs is to make handmade gifts, but who has the time for that? i got some great gifts from kay, a tkk vinyl and sticker. i hope they like the things i got/made them. smiles.
in other news, school is going pretty well. i've been passing my tests. it took me several tries to blowdry a mannequin head correctly, and my final and best attempt took me 2 and a half hours. my knees hurt afterwards from standing for so long. but at least i'm getting the hang of it. i can't wait to actually start cutting hair, i think i'll be good at it.
i've been trying to listen to more music lately. music that isn't nine inch nails. genres that i'm not as familiar with. i've been really enjoying drum and bass, especially 187. i should try some genres that are in a similar vein, like jungle. i also wanna listen to more rap/hip-hop so i have songs to play at school when i get passed the aux. i don't think my classmates enjoyed tkk very much.
last thing, my rat jamba has been soooo sweet lately. he loves pets and attention so much he can't get enough of it. he likes to climb on me and sniff me while we play. he also likes "grooming" my hands. sometimes he licks, but most of the time he gently bites and nibbles off the dead skin. i think he doesn't know what to do with non-furry skin.
that's all i have for now, peace out.
