I dyed my hair last month because I felt like doing something exciting and drastic following the whole boyfriend-is-now-gay-but-waited-a-year-to-tell-me thing. I've been in a sort of reinvention process since all of that, because I'm finding that I never really needed him to be complete. I love being single, I really truly do.
Anyway, back to my hair. I picked this Herbal Essences color that I thought would be subtle enough, and it was. For a few weeks or so. And then I noticed that because my hair grows so fast, I had roots showing already and I was NOT pleased. So I went out to Wal-Mart and bought a non-permanent dye (the first one was permanent) and redid my hair. Holy GOD is it red, and I'm not kidding. I couldn't believe how red it was when I blew it dry. Now I know hair is just hair, but I think this new color gives me a lot of confidence. I feel like a new woman, which I am in most senses, and I think this summer is probably going to be the best one ever. :)
I was thinking yesterday that all of these changes are happening at the best time in my life. I'm leaving behind my teenage years, all of my stupid fears and inhibitions, and a relationship that was going nowhere. I'm moving on; I'm looking forward to a new school, new friends, new love interests, and a new me. Well. still the old me, of course, but a newer, older, and wiser me.
In other news, I've been losing weight like crazy. I think finals week probably helped A LOT with that, because I had three traditional finals, four papers to write, and a final speech to give. But somehow, I managed to pass all of my classes, and now I am only seventeen credits away from my Associate of Arts! All of my friends are jealous because I'm finally going to have a college degree. I tell you, I'm going to buy a huge fancy frame and hang it up in the family room where everyone can see it. Graduating from high school has been my proudest moment thus far, but I think this is probably going to trump that. I CAN'T WAIT.
The weather is absolutely gorgeous here today. I love spring so much.
Oh, and my mom bought me a bottle of Love Spell from Victoria's Secret this weekend. This has to be the best smelling body spray in existence. I feel like a diva!
I still have more to write, but I think I'm going to make another entry.
Until next time, loves.
