Even though I'd set my alarm this morning knowing I'd probably find it difficult to get up after last night's festivities, I was over zealous on the snooze button-pressing front, and got up later than planned. I managed to get to school, if just a bit late, and just in time for the written exam. I was still a bit hazy, but I think I did OK. Chanel then got to do her practical on me, before being critiqued by the tutor. She did very well. I think it was possibl...

Today we'd be applying 60's, 70's or 80's makeups, so the day kicked off with a demonstration. It was very long. A lot of us started dozing off, mainly because these long days are taking their toll. I was paired with Manya today and chose to attempt the 60's. this may not have been a great idea, as there is a hell of a lot of gel eyeliner involved, and my shaky hands were struggling to get straight lines. Nevertheless, I ended up with something reasonable and m...

Had a bit of an early night last night, so was more awake than yesterday morning, despite me being half-cooked through the night. There's a bt of a heatwave at the moment.

I forgot everything from yesterday and wasn't concentrating properly. I eventually got to a stage I was ...

Felt a bit groggy today (again) but managed to get to school on time. We've got a new tutor this week called Wendy Ann, who'll be teaching us period make-up. Today was pretty much more of the same as the first few weeks. And to make up for the lost school day yesterday, we would be staying until 5:30 instead of the usual 4 o'clock home time. Began with a demo of 18th Century make-up, then Jodie had her turn, lunch, I had my turn, another demonstration, this ti...

Today would be my first ever experience of Labor Day, the day that signifies the end of the summer break. I'd previously asked around and wondered what was supposed to happen. It's pretty much a bank holiday. You do nothing, and maybe drink beer. I decided I was going to be more productive than just drinking alcohol all day, so I spent most of the morning trying to pick out the best places to visit, and plan my route throughout the day. After the Museum of Deat...
