Bye-bye

Well, on Monday I did something that I knew I would do, but didn't expect to be so traumatizing. My hair is now officially all gone. I went to Great Clips in Hoover Monday afternoon because I was home all alone. I had 12 inches cut, which was divided into 2 ponytails & donated to Locks of Love. So now my hair is really short. Only a couple of people have seen it - David, Jacob, & Amelia. I guess people at church will see it tonight. I can actually do stuff with it though. I don't have to pull it back all the time. Granted I'm not going to keep it this short. David actually wants me to get it cut again. He doesn't like the way the lady cut it (but hey, can you really complain too muh about a free haircut?), which is more of a down angle, which is very different for me. So it'll probably be "fixed" next week. Anyway, this weekend was really good. Friday I finished my finals, which was a relief. Friday and Saturday nights we went to watch Jacob play with the band, Poor & Wretched. They sound great & they are all so much fun. We had hung out with all of them minus 1, who is actually one of my teacher's son. That's who we went to see Talladega Nights with. Anyway, so we were out pretty late all weekend. We all went out to eat Friday after they finished playing, where I got the biggest bruise I think I have ever had. Dolphus (their van, don't ask where they got the name) attacked me & I have a massive bruise on my side. David told me it looked like a rainbow. Saturday night we went back to watch them play in Birmingham. Then we all went to Books-A-Million & had coffee & talked. It was a lot of fun. Anyway, I'm trying not to give myself too much of a break, so that I'll be motivated to go back to school. I've started working on my notes to study for my comps, which I'll take in November. This is a huge deal for me, because if I don't pass, I get kicked out. I don't do testing well by the way, so keep me in your prayers. Well, I guess that's all for now. Everything is going well here. Casper & Daisy are still getting along great. I really do think that he thinks she is his new playtoy. He doesn't play with any of his toys anymore!!
