New haircut

I got a new haircut! First haircut in a year and a half and the first haircut that was below shoulder length since I was a very young girl. I quite like it, it’s very low maintenance and washing and conditioning it takes no time at all.

My hair has always been an annoyance. When my parents used to brush it when I was a kid I used to cry because it hurt so much. Later it took a lot of time and effort to make it look decent. I once had it straightened. It took about ten hours (I’m not kidding) but after it grew out I never tried to straighten it again. I usually tie it back to keep it out of my way and from resembling a haystack.

This is right after, no makeup and with the sun shining in my eyes.

let us do something, while we have the chance!

I know this is late but I’ve been mulling over my plans for the upcoming year. Now that going to school for my bachelors has come to a close I have lost some of my direction.

What I want to accomplish over the next twelve months

  1. Go today or tomorrow to talk about delaying commencement until May.
  2. Go back to school for something related to IT, looking into programming. I’ve been self-taught so far but I think I’m in desperate need of some sort of formal training. I want to be back in school by Fall semester.
  3. Finish the revamp/complete rewrite of backend scripts on my non-personal website.
  4. Rewrite myFanlisting CMS and move fanlistings over to sleepwalking.nu.
  5. Buy a new computer. The one I have is over two years old and moves at a crawl. Using MSN Messenger can cause it to freeze up. I was thinking of a Mac but decided it was too expensive. I don’t have that sort of money lying around!
  6. Lose weight healthily. I need to start walking/jogging again, that helped me lose nearly ten pounds over the summer. I gained it back after I stopped.

I’ve been thinking about regrets and I have few, I feel wasting time regretting things holds people back. I do have one related to losing a friend I’d had since high school. Now we’re nearly strangers. It’s something I think about from time to time, I can’t quite let go of it like I’ve let go of everything else.
