I'M ON THE RIGHT TRACK BABY I WAS BONELESS WING

In other news, I have the flu.

I actually spent all of Vegas with the flu.  I was popping dayquil and ibuprofen like a madman every 4 hours, and drinking all the water my stomach could hold.   I had fun, though. 

I was pissed off the first day because it was nothing but chaos and I was running a fever.  We basically got there, didn't have our rooms ready, were told to put our stuff in this luggage-storing room and then to go to their store to buy their stuff (but not before waiting 2 hours in a mile long line to pay for said stuff).   Then, when we finally got our room, there weren't enough beds to accommodate four people, and we went through hell trying to get some roll-away beds because they wouldn't upgrade our room.

The second day was MUCH better.  It was the sigh of relief.  The opening ceremony was cute, I liked it.

The third day was my favorite.  CLASSES.

Cutting class was fun.  While I feel like I didn't get everything I could have out of it, I did get a lot.  The class just ran way too fast.  With cutting advanced cuts like that, and using multiple techniques and geometries, I need a little more than five minutes to absorb and understand and then accurately cut a full segment.  I'm basically a slow cutter, but shoot me, 'cause I've been in school for 6 months.   Even so, I'm glad we got to go to that class 'cause I did learn a few things.

Color class was my jaaaam, though.  I love color.  I'm fast at applying color, so this class was fine for me.

It was really cool, because Lucie Doughty was teaching the class.  The only thing I didn't like about it was that she taught us how to paint coontails onto the hair.  Like scenegirl coontails circa myspace 2005.   She called it "feathering".  Since feathers are in right now.   Except they don't look like feathers in the hair, they look like ridiculous raccoon stripes.  

But otherwise, learning the Ombre technique was cool.  I still need to go rinse out my doll head, hah.

Closing ceremonies were badass.   Overall I had a lot of fun.
