3:38p.m--6.30p.m
My experience at Georgia Institute of Cosmetology was okay. It was nothing like Empire Beauty School. Georgia Institute of Cosmetology is a very open place. When i first got there, they greeted me and asked what i was there for. I had to wait for at least about 20 to 30 minutes for someone to assist me. As i was waiting i was looking at girls doing a manikin doll hair and also an instructor helped a student make a wig for herself. The wig came out pretty good.
After observing them, i went inside an office and was introduced to the lady(i forgot her name) that was going to show me around the place. We walked around and she showed me all the stations where they do hair and shampooing area. And also where the student that still work on dolls do hair at and i think they only had one classroom. After that she had me sit at the front to answer the phone and greet people when they came inside if they weren't a student. They didn't have much business going on. Their prices were cheap compared to a regular salon prices. While i was there i didn't do much, just sat and stared at people do one another hair.

Prolouge to the Caterbury tales
THE KNIGHT: "A knight there was, and he a worthy man, Who, from the moment that he first began To ride about the world, loved chivalry, Truth, honour, freedom and all courtesy" (prologue). At a combat he always killed his opponents. He didn't dress well.
THE FRIAR: The Friar is less a man than the Monk. "A friar there was, a wanton and a merry, A limiter, a very festive man".
THE MERCHANT: He likes to talk. "Scholars have charged the Merchant
with gold smuggling or even coin clipping; but, although "shields" were units of money, they
were neither gold nor coins".
WIFE OF BATH: She has been married five times and she is one of only three women on the pilgrimage. She sounds to be a big woman. "I dare swear that they weighed a full ten pound". She make people laugh.
MILLER: "The miller was a stout churl, be it known, Hardy and big of brawn and big of bone; Which was well proved, for when he went on lam At wrestling, never failed he of the ram". He is a very strong man who like to show off that he is strong. For Example he breaks through doors with his head.
THE PARSON: "a good man of religion, too, A country parson, poor, I warrant you; But rich he was in holy thought and work". He was a patient guy and well content. He seems to be a good man that deserves more.

The Middle Ages: Crusades, The Murder of Thomas a Becket, The Magna Carta, & The Black Death
The Crusades began in the eleventh century and lasted several hundred years. The Crusades mainly fought against the Muslims. They wanted to recapture the Jerusalem and the Holy land from the Muslim rule. Every crusader took an vow that he or she was committed to fulfil as a penance. They were fought against those perceived to be the external or internal foes of Christendom for the recovery of Christian property.
The Murder of Thomas a Becket. The situation between Henry and Becket didn't go to plan how the King wanted it to go. Becket did not agree with Henry against the Pope. Becket and Henry argued about how much power church courts should have and they argued a lot more. In 1170 Henry and Becket made an agreement for him(Becket) to become archbishop again. Becket punished everyone that agree with Henry in their arguments and Becket was also criticising Henry in public. Henry didn't like that so he sent his knights to kill Becket. Henry walked barefoot from London to Canterbury to show he was sorry. Becket was made a saint after his death.
The Magna Carta. It require King John of England to proclaim certain rights and accept that his will could be ruled by the law. Magna Carta influenced the development of common law and many constitutional documents. In 1215 King John agreed to the demands of his barons and authorized that handwritten copies of Magna Carta was sealed.
The Black Death. "was one of the deadliest pandemics in human history, widely thought to have been caused by a bacterium named Yersinia pestis,but recently attributed by some to other diseases" (wikipedia). They thought it began in Central Asia or India and was brought to Europe in the 1340's. Black Death killed up to 30% to 60% of the Europe population. There are three different types the bubonic, pneumonic, and septicemic and the bubonic was the most common seen.

11:30 a.m.--1:30p.m.
This past Friday, i went up to Gwinnett to visit Empire Beauty School. My appointment was at 11:30 and i was there a bit early than that, so i had to wait until the person i was seeing (Dana) was finished up with another person. While me and my mother was waiting, we seen everything that was going on. I thought the place was going to look like a regular school, but it was way different from what i thought. It was a salon up front and in the back was two class rooms, lockers, and a eating place when they go on break. Just about everyone within the salon part was doing someone hair, some were cutting, straightening, curling, perming, doing nails, and shampooing. The lady that was doing the perm was on the older woman hair for a long time. When doing a perm for a salon, it's suppose to take you 10 minutes.
After looking a the lady doing the perm, Dana who i visiting for my interview, came and greeted me and my mother and we went inside her office. She was telling me all about everything they do and how they help you when you are done with their classes. She showed me three out of the seven dolls i will get. The three dolls she showed me was man doll with facial hair, an Asian girl doll, and an black doll. Her point of showing me the dolls were their texture of hair and how each doll have a different type of hair that i would have to learn how work with. Dana asked me why i wanted to do hair and i really couldn't give her an straight answer because i really couldn't think, then she told me after the tour she was bout to give us, i should have an answer.
There were people in the classroom that was doing each other hair, and some were showing other the correct way of doing something. The classroom are like regular classrooms with desk, board, and of course a teacher. In the salon part of Empire Beauty School they had a place for nails, shampooing hair, hair-dryers, make-up chair, and a place where the hair styling goes down. Then we went back to her office and she asked me why do i want to do hair and i told her they was like a family, they worked well together, and it was something i always wanted to do, it's in my blood my mother and sister did hair and it fit my description of doing hair. I can see myself succeeding in hair and making people feel good about their selves.

Most Important to them
I don't know what was important to them because i really don't get the whole diary. Them losing a lot of shops and churches probably was important because they needed those place. Or the king not doing a lot of helping to put the fire out probably was important to them.
"from the Diary of Samuel Pepys"
He watched them hang Major General Harrison. He was there when they was deciding if they should let Charles Stuart be king. July 11, 1664, he thought someone was breaking into their house but then notice it was just their dog. "At last Jane rose and then i understand it was only the dog wants a lodging and so made a noise". September 2, 1666, is when the Great Fire of London took place while everyone was sleep and they woked up to see just about everything burned down. Churches and people houses(shops) were burned down.
