I am currently studying cosmetology. The subject is fun. I do enjoy it, and the people aren't bad, meaning classmates.

I know it may not sound nice, but the teachers grammar is so shot, it can be pretty embarrassing. She's not very smart, and I don't say it because of the way she speaks. Because I was always in very advance classes for everything, I can figure out a lot of the chemistry in perms and so on.

I have proved her wrong several times in class, and had the text book to back me. So, you can imagine she doesn't particularly like me, though she didn't before either.

I transferred from a school that was even worse. I wouldn't mind working in a salon, but for a school, that I'm paying for, I feel like it's not worth it anymore. I have to complete hours, so I have to make them up if I miss them. And I have missed so many days because I feel like it's not worth it. I miss almost two weeks straight, take the test, and get an A! I feel like I want to drop and take something else, or just stay home, but I do want to go to school. It might also have to do with the fact I don't really have any friends. I'm always by myself.

But then if I do miss days I feel really bad and embarrassed, so I end up taking more days off! I just don't want to be there, but I like the career.. Oh, and for the record, I have been there 7 months, and have 6 more to go. So I feel like this will NEVER end especially because I have to redo the days I missed later, prolonging the date!

Thanks for reading! Looking forward to solutions.

I think you are bored because it's too easy for you. You've only got 7 more months to go. It's not like you are studying to become a doctor. Doctors go to school for 7-8years depend on their specialty. So don't quit and mark up the calendar evey time you go to school and in the end of the weeks you don't miss any class, treat yourself. It can be a cup of starbucks coffee, candy bar, or etc and doesn't always have to be expensive thing. This may help you to get motivated.
