It's Fantastic!!

I have been neglecting my blog lately and I have now sat down to update all on my life and what I have been up to for the last month.
I finally recieved my Cosmetology License in the mail, YAY! But it had the wrong house number on it. I looked and I wrote the correct address not once, not twice, not three times but four diffrent times on my application and paperwork for the license. I would think that they might get it right. One would think that it doesn't matter but the laws state that it must have a correct address to be valid so I called the license office and requested a new license. They were really good about it and sent a new one that arrived within a week. During the time that I was waiting I started putting my name in to various Salon databases hoping for a call. I put it into Great Clips, Coles, and Fantastic Sam's. I got called the very next day for many diffrent Great Clips locations but not for the one that my friend was trying to get me to work at, she works there. I also got a call from Fantastic Sam's. I went for an interview on Monday the 24th of September. The manager wanted me to come on Wednesday the 26th for a technical interview to see how I was with hair. I brought my friend's younger sister and gave her a cute bob. The Manager offered my a position as soon as I was done. I had an interview with Great Clips on that Friday so I told her that I would let her know on the 1st of October what I had decided. I went on Friday the 28th for the interview with Great Clips and as soon as I walked in the door I wanted to walk out again. I didn't feel like it was the right place for me. I went through the interview and was basically offered the job with out the lady actually offering it. So I knew that I wanted to go with Fantastic Sam's because they did so much more than cuts. They have Cuts, Color, Perms, Updos and waxing. On Saturday the 29th I went to Duluth and got to hang out with some friends before I accepted the position.
On Monday the First of October I called the Manager and accepted the position at Fantastic Sam's. I started the next day and I love it. I have been there for 3 weeks today and I have improved in my cuts so much from when I started. I really like the girls that I work with and I am so excited to go to work each evening.
I told them that I absolutely could not work Sunday so I could go to church. I also requested Monday's so that I could go to the single's FHE. I have been working Tuesday-Thursday 4:00-8:00 Fridays 4:00-7:00 and Saturday 10:00am-5:00pm. I have had so much fun. I love it. I am so glad that I decided to go into cosmetology!
