Perm Queen

That's what they refer to me as at school. I'll take it. Could be worse. ;)

This week, I've been upstairs in the Basics room, with the new class. There are 17 of them (there were 22). Remember how my class only had 4?? We had it good. With 17 students and 1 teacher, things get crazy quickly. Rachel, our Basics instructor, has been asking senior students to help her each day, so everyone gets the help they need. These next 2 weeks are perm weeks for Basics....Rachel asked me to be with her and help teach. I honestly thought she had asked me because EVERYBODY hates perms so much, and maybe she couldn't get anybody else to do it? Rachel knows I don't mind wrapping a perm...

When a few (not my favorite) new students questioned why someone, who had only been in school 3 1/2 months, would be asked to help with perms and NOT a senior student...Rachel told everyone that "Leia is the best damn perm wrapper we have, and you are all LUCKY that she agreed to come up here and help you, when she could be downstairs cutting hair all week. She'll teach you a lot - and you had better listen to her!" I've walked around with a big ol' goofy grin on my face ever since that moment. I may not be the best at a 90º haircut, but when it comes to perms, I am reigning Queen. And that's ok by me :)
