Thanksgiving Break! And Hair Cutting...

After six weeks at school I finally got to make the trip home for Thanksgiving. Rockhurst has a nine day break for Thanksgiving starting the 21st and ending on the 29th. During this week I have a cornucopia (yes that reference was intentional) of things to attend to including: Shadowing two dentists, Studying for finals, writing Biology reflections, signing up for the Saint Louis Marathon, going fishing, and cutting my hair. In this post I will focus on the hair cutting. To the left is a picture of the exact clippers that I use when I cut my hair. They are relatively simple to use. I just snap on a 5/8 inch guard and go over my entire head. Next, I take a scissors and trim around my ears and sideburns. The tricky parts comes when I have to touch up my neck. This requires the use of two mirrors and the clippers without a guard. By looking into the reflection of my reflection I can see the back of my head and then I must remember to move my hand oppositely of what I see in the mirror. So left becomes right, up is down, etc. Currently I am not much of a barber but my skills are improving! I only cut myself once this time......
