So... In cosmetology school, you don't get very many straight guys, but there are a few. If there weren't any, I'm afraid we'd kill each other.
In my school, there are about 5 straight guys, not counting Mr. Levi, who's married with kids. But he's a teacher, he doesn't count :D
The rest of the hundred or more students in my school are made up of gay guys and females. Needless to say, there is WAY too much estrogen in Cosmetology schools. Though the new kids make the most drama. We get a new class, every 6 weeks, because every 6 weeks there's a new class moving into 360. Needless to say, it's the calmest before the storm. By that I mean it takes 3-5 weeks to get the new kids accustomed and broken down.
My class was really bad. It took us, 12 weeks to be ok with each other and we're still bickering a bit. But that's to be expected, every once in a while. But the bickering is nothing compared to what used to go down. The students we just got in are pretty bad, they are like us, but quiet, and no one likes them. For some reason they think they're better than everyone else. They'll be taken care of eventually.
My first week? I moved someone's lunch, so I could get to my snack. (We get a "break" of 5 minutes or less, that they call a "stretcher" twice a day. It's usually around 10:30 and 2:30. Lunch is usually at 12 or 12:30. School is from 9-4:30.) She had put her lunch on top of my stuff, and I forgot to move it back. She accused me, in front of the class, about stealing/eating her lunch. I didn't put up with it and talked to the teacher about it. Well, me and her are actually pretty good now. It was just a lot of stress, being in the classroom. And new students cause a fair bit of chaos. The tension was high.
Think you don't find racism, sexism, etc. in cosmetology school? Think again. People are talked about because of their race, because of their sexual orientation, anything to gossip about.
We had one girl name Goldie, that threatened to bring a gun to school and shoot us. They didn't do much but send her home that day, and move her to the class beside us. We started making a fuss about it. Most of us actually LEFT the school. That caught the "Principals" attention and talked to us about it. The girl ended up being dropped.
Being out of the classroom is amazing though. It helps you not have as much drama. You're not stuck in a small, closed in place, with a huge class.
My class started off with a class of 30-ish, like most classes do. By the time we got to 360, there were only 15 of us. People thin out pretty fast. They either can't pay for the school, or miss too many hours.
Recently, they've been dropping people right and left, for various reasons. It's pretty bad, I've noticed the school looking almost vacant.
The new class we just got? There's a girl we all call Elvis. She has the HUGE hair flip that Elvis had. Hence her name. She's beginning to be just like Goldie. She threatened a girl named Julie, because of her sexual orientation. Julie, may be gay, but we all love her, she cracks us up and keeps things light. She threatened to KILL her, after Julie blew up at her for what she said, and her friend Amanda joined in too. I don't know how that ended, the only thing I know is that Julie was sent home early.
Rumors fly around schools like wild fire, especially small ones, like mine. It's like it feeds us, or something.
