Finally, I can use the internet..... well, I have been in london for about 5 days now.. and have started my training with steiner ( the spa thing that I am doing) I am staying at this really dodgy YMCA in North London where it would cost me about £20 to get to central london...  We have to go to school every single day...... We all have to do be there at 8:45 and classes all start at 9:00 until 4:30 and then we have to clean for like an hour........ for the first few days we have just been doing the paper work and trying to get everyone organized.  We had to do this public speaking thing infornt of all the trainers and staff and the head manager Robert, who ultimatly has the say in what ship you go to.... lots ppl were really nervse b/c we had to use this mic and had to do this intro thing to introduce our partners that we have just met 5 mins. ago.... I thought I did pretty well, cuz well, I do have to thank SUF for this for all the presentations that I have had to do in my classes it really did help.... this sure was MUCH MUCH easier then having to talk about some extra hard study and tryingto teach it to the rest of the class.....

Since I will be working for this spa company as a receptionist, I have to look the part which in simpy word.... lots of make up ( including eye liner, top and bottom, eye shadow, and blush/bronzer and lip stick and liner at all times) and also my hair need to be up in a very nice formal up-do... so since we all have to take the bus in the moring to school and it takes about 30 min to get there I have been getting up everyday at 6:15 in the moring to do make up and hair....... I told my honey that in the last 4 days I think I have spent like 5 hours just looking in the mirror looking at my self fixing my self..... and for all of you guys who knows me... I am totally NOT like that...... if you were to see me now you would be in for a real shock.....I totally look like a drag queen...... but they love it there... all the trainers have told me that I TOTALLY look the part of a steiner receptionist........ ha ha...... I will have to send some pictures home when I get taken......

oh also I have to wear these nasty white uniforms..... with wihte flat shoes...... you know the ones that look very ~asian~ with 3/4 legth pants.... well... that's what I look like...... very funny..... I still have school on sat. as well... so look lik eI won't be able to get back to Taunton until maybe sat. or even next weekend if I am still here....... but My honey will be coming up to see me any how...... I relaly wnat to go home and watch some TV and eat some decent food... I really really need my veggie intake.... the food they have been feeding us is just beyond disgusting... I just can't stand it..... I don't even know where to begin....... ( over cooked and mushy) and not to mention the bathroom 5 ppl have to share one.. ( with 2 guys) and man... it's just disgusting....... thank god I brought my shower slippers with me.... or else I don't think I would survive........

There is one good thing about going through all this... I get to receive a treatment once a day.... and well, today I had  a hot stones massage.... which was pretty good and I hope tommorow I will get thehydralife facail.... that would be awsome......

anyways I think the internet place is about to close I will write more soon..... cheers!!!
