ok so if you dont know, i have been studying the last few weeks to take my cosmetology test so i can get my hair license (FINALLY). so he is a time line for you just to let you know how this last week has gone.
Friday Sept. 26 i scheduled my test for Oct. 3 (today).
Saturday Sept. 27 studied a little in the morning.
Monday Sept. 29 Studied at work in spare time. i went to Ben and Alison's house and watched TV and then studied until 11:30 or so.
Tuesday Sept. 30 Studied at work for a few hours and in my spare time and studies for about 45 minutes that night
Wednesday Oct. 1 studied at work
Thursday Oct 2. Studied at work. I went through almost 100 pages in my review book trying to cram for the test. that night i did 3 peoples hair and had 2 of them read the questions to me as i did their hair so i was still studying. watched 2 episodes of friends with brooke and then studied until Midnight.
FRIDAY OCTOBER 3
i wake up ready for the test! i get ready and as i am walking out the door i had a little trouble finding my keys so i was digging through my purse and i found the papers with all my testing info on them and i looked them over one last time to make sure i had the address right! as i am looking i see the date was 10/01!!! i cant understand what happened, how it happened or why it happened!! all i know is how frustrated i got. i dissolved into tears! my poor roommates, they probably have no idea what this was such a big deal to me! well i know becki does but brooke and katy i dont think do. just to fill you in. i have now spent $399.00 on a test i have paid for 5 times now and only taken 2 times, and still not passed. you need a 75% to pass. the first time i took it i got a 72%. the second time i got a 74%. you can imagine getting the results back and missing it by 1%. needless to say i was not happy.
after i got a small hold on my emotions i got on the internet to schuedle this test to be taken so i paid for the test again and when i was getting ready to sing up for a date the website shut me out (for reasons unknown). i'm thinking "not a big deal i will stop by the testing center and schuedle a time in person." i get there and the (please insert a sarcastic tone) ever so sweet and caring lady sitting behind the counter told me i had to do it on the internet or on the phone. i exhaled very loudly trying not to cry again, and walked out with out saying another word to her. got in my car called my loving mother (no sarcasticness) explained what was going on and started to cry again. i told her that maybe this wasnt meant to be. because it hasnt worked out so far and so maybe it wasnt supposed to happen at all. (which isnt what i want i was just being a little pesimistic). my mom calmly told me that it is just part of the test of getting through this and getting this over with. so i decided to take her side of this bad situation. what is done is done and there is nothing i can do about it now. i just need to move on get this over with.
so 400 dollars later i am planning to take the october 6. so everyone who reads this, PLEASE say your prayers that this will go smoothely and that i will pass this dang test! wish me luck!
