Hi Ruth! and all my fellow wonderful geeks!!!!!!
Boot Camp- wow! what can I say!!
It was absolutely INCREDIBLE meeting the Grandmaster Geek himself--- Sam Sweet is an awesome, kind, intelligent (extremely intelligent-genius!) person! As the lead trainer for Boot Camp- he did an AMAZING job of leading the classes!! The classes are intense- SO much info to know!!!
It was also UNBELIEVEABLE to meet all of Euro Team Creative--- their enthusiasm, knowledge, excitement to help us learn... they are just an awesome group of amazingly talented nail technicians that, with the help and leadership of Sam- just 'completed' the whole system of Boot Camp...
It was WONDERFUL to meet Holly!! She is a WONDERFUL person, FULL of kindness and an overflowing ocean of knowledge... incredible talent, kind personality.... I am so happy to have met her in person!!! I only wish we lived closer!!!!!!!
Fiona--- WOW! She is so amazing- vibrant, fun, helpful- great personality-- so knowledgeable and talented.... I am missing her already!!
Samantha- Mrs. Geek herself-
wow! She is a BEAUTIFUL, kind person- I wish that I had more time to spend with her.... she was only there the last (hmm was it the last 2 days?) -- however I only got to chat with her at Graduation- so amazed to have met her in person- AND give her a hug and kiss from Gigi.. as well as hug her for myself!!!
There were SO many nail technicians there-- 40 maybe? ALL of them were terrific!! If I were to list them all, it would probably take a day to type and a week for you all to read... I miss them all....
England is
beautiful! (Not that I saw much of it- what I did see was gorgeous!) Weather was a bit dreary- but did not put any kind of damper on my spirits for being able to be a part of The Creative Academy....
NOW- Boot Camp itself! OMG. WOW. what can I say!
It was HARD- very challenging--- emotionally, physically... but SO worth it!
Gosh- the highs- were being able to meet Sam & Samantha, Euro Team Creative,
all the amazing techs there.... helping everyone that I could... and getting help from others.........
the lows- would be the lack of sleep! (average of 2-3 hrs every night- aerobics/calisthenics in the morning wasnt much fun... and many techs had some breakdowns with all the stress... :sad:
I'm sure there are tons more highs & lows I want to share.... unfortunately I didnt take the day off from work today- and have to get ready!! :sad:
I am so proud to have passed- and receive my certificate-- and I am now an "Active" Education Ambassador!!
I can't WAIT to teach- and HELP everyone that I can!!!
Write more later........ HUGS to all my fellow Geeks..... :green:
All my love,
~Melissa
