Stressed to the Max

It seems that we have all been a little stressed here lately.... Teachers at my school that have been here forever say it is completely normal to feel this way this time of year. I hope they are right! I too had Homecoming this past week and have been really busy with that. On top of that event I have been trying to plan our first ever "Family and Friend Night". This is where my advanced students stay at school until 7:00pm so their family and friends can come into our salon and receive services. The students have been very excited about this and so am I, however it is stressing me out! I guess I am just used to working in a salon, where a client comes in, they sign a liability form if they are receiving a chemical service, I perform the service, and they leave a happy person. So not the case here!!! There is so much to do to be able to host such an event. Permission forms, Liability Forms, Sign-up sheets, emails going out to the whole world... just loads and loads of tedious things. I know this is all necessary because technically they are not adults and it is just protocol, but my goodness. I know once I get in the routine of everything the next "Family and Friend Night" will run much more smoothly. Until then, I guess I just have to put on my happy face and deal with it all! All in all, I guess i wonder if I chose the right profession.... I believe I did. When I am having a rough day, an encouraging word from one of my students or a coworker makes it all better, and I realize this is where I am supposed to be!
