I am happy to say that I will finally be starting cosmetology school in October at the Madison Institue in Westminster. My Oma has offered to pay for my tuition and my bills so I can go full time. I'm going to continue to live with my folk's, since it's so close to school and FREE! So watch out... I'll be looking for guinea pigs soon! 
Good to hear from you again, thought you had disappeared. Congrats on the school thing!! Best of luck to ya.
