Whoa. . . . !!
This is my last blog for the year, and I hope to see many of you who have read the blogs next year at Saint Peter’s. If you recognize me, be sure to introduce yourself! I have actually been home for a few days now; I left last Saturday but most people had finals on Monday and Tuesday. I got lucky and I have been home for almost a week.
Finals were hectic and I didn’t get time in for a blog. Jamal and I did make time to go to the awesome Hoboken Arts and Music Festival on May 7th, which is basically a big arts and crafts/street fair with live bands all day long. I didn’t have to take a few of my finals because I was satisfied with my grades, but I studied a lot for International Marketing and Accounting especially. I studied so much that by the time the tests came around I felt like I would go backward if I looked at any more notes. My accounting professor emailed me since and told me I got a 106% on my final. I don’t know how that is possible, but I’m not asking any questions!! What a relief.
Also, On Saturday was Peacock Palooza. Jamal and I went rollerblading along Battery park . . . . and we of course made it back in time to see a few of the bands play. There were live bands and free food from 2:00 pm until late into the night. It was great to see the last couple bands especially because they were made up of SPC students!
On the Monday of last week, I went in for an audition for a hair show they were having at The Studio Salon in Rockefeller Center. I got picked. . . . they probably saw long, never-before-dyed hair and jumped at the chance to change what they called, “virgin hair.� The next day, Tuesday, I went into the salon along with seven other girls and we all got our hair cut and colored as part of “An Evening with Teri Dougherty� where this hairstylist showed off her new “season� of haircuts in front of a bunch of other hairstylists. I got my hair cut AND colored on stage. . . . .. and all the models got PAID. It was very exciting and I included a picture of all the girls when we were done. Some of them had crazy and frizzy hair before this. A word to the wise, however, many salons will do more than you’d like them to. If you’re not willing to do something crazy and possibly come out with a blue Mohawk, I would be wary of participating in hair shows. I got lucky and I absolutely love my hair. I love NYC. . . where else can you do random crazy things like get paid to get your hair and makeup done??
The week at home is winding down, I will soon be in Missoula, MT taking my summer class. I ordered my expensive (of course) intermediate accounting book from Amazon.com yesterday and I’m just waiting for it to arrive. . . . . .Maybe you will hear from me again next year, or at least another student blogger from SPC. I sure hope you enjoy your summer and . . . of course. . . . COME TO SAINT PETER’S!
