Bonjour World! Pivot Point Study Abroad: Paris!
Every so often, we have life experiences that serve as benchmarks for our personal timelines. Something monumental will happen and, for the rest of our lives, we'll remember that day--everything that happened pre-event, and everything that happened post-event. Maybe someday someone asks you, "When did Jenny get hired at the salon?" And you'll respond, "Oh, well, Anne had just celebrated her 30th birthday and George fell off his bike that day... so, it was in October!" For me, my trip with Pivot Point International will always serve as a benchmark in my life, a monumental life experience I will NEVER forget!
Pivot Point Study Abroad: London's Tate Museum and Queen's We Will Rock You!
Wow! It was a day FULL of the arts on our study abroad trip with Pivot Point in London. This trip has been amazing!! We began our day with a trip to Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. Then, headed to the Tate Modern Museum and saw Picasso and Andy Warhol. Then, went to a musical based on the music of Queen called We Will Rock You. It was a day PACKED with arts!

London Pivot Point Study Abroad: Hampton Court Palace and Windsor
Today we woke, bright-eyed and bushy tailed, ready for another fantastic day of exploration. We boarded our motorcoach bus for a trip to the Hampton Court Palace. Located in the borough of Richmond, outside of London, Hampton Court Palace is a royal palace that has not been lived in by the British royal family since the 1700s. It was originally built in 1514 for Cardinal Wolsey, a favorite of King Henry VIII, but the King ended up retaining the impressive estate for himself. Wow, it was beautiful!
New Shears, New Stylist
As a beginning stylist--I'm very attached to the tools and appliances I use on a daily basis on the salon floor. So when I received a new pair of shears from Fromm International--I was really nervous, excited too, of course, but still nervous to try them out. Will my hair cuts still look OK? Will I be able to slide-cut and slice like I usually do? What if it's different!? It's kind of like going through Driver's Ed--you get so used to driving a specific vehicle that, when it comes time to drive your parent's car, it's an entirely different experience. That's how I felt about my shears.Alas, I want to be a stylist capable of cutting with any shear! And these shears were so beautiful and shiny and new, I couldn't wait to try them out.
