Yesterday was the first day of school for many, including me! After class being postponed due to the weather on Tuesday, I started college in Facial Fundamentals class.
It was a theory based lesson, and after seeing the lesson plan it's going to be theory based for a few weeks. The teacher was very engaging and knowledgeable but it was still a bit of a challenge to stay focused as there was a bit of death by PowerPoint going on.
We learnt about the different skin layers and functions, the names of facial muscles and bones, the effects and contraindications of facial massage and a few basic massage movements (practiced on a rubber dummy). Don't ask me to remember them though! This massage thing is going to take a whole lot of practice.
In my class, there was a few age groups. There was a mother in her 40s returning to study and even a much older lady, there was me of course being 25 and the rest seemed to be recent year 10 and 12 leavers, most of which said they want to open their own salons.
The teacher broke the class up with a decent amount of breaks. We were given 20 minutes in the morning at around 11am and then an hour for lunch and a five minute in the afternoon. She even had us make mini trifles with ingredients she had brought in to represent the skin layers.
As I write this I am sitting in the common room at college waiting for today's class which is Body and Aesthetic Aromatic Massage. Everyone was given a USB yesterday which contains all the resource booklets and lesson plans for each class this trimester and according to that it seems that today's class will also be very theory based for a while.
In other news, next Friday I have a job interview/trial at a inner city hair and beauty salon for a part time salon coordinator (which is basically a receptionist). It will only be for 10 hours a week I initially, so hopefully I can handle that on top of my studies and freehand design work. Some days it could be a five hour shift straight after an eight hour day at college. We'll see how it goes - it would give me great experience!
Until next time, adios.
