I miss my long hair.

I miss my long hair so much lately. I mean I think my hair short was a nice change and its fun and spunky but I don't know I have really nice hair (not to sound arrogant or anything), and it has been long my entire life, so this was indeed a nice change... but I want it to be long again... and I am just so down thinking of the fact that it is going to take forever to grow back out. My hair was kind of like my security blanket I guess... Whenever I was feeling down on myself I could always rely on my hair to look nice, at least if I put effort into it, or if I was feeling particularly gross it could hide a lot. With short hair, my face is open to the world, every single disaster on each patch of skin perfectly visible. If I was ever crying or upset I could let it fall in my face to hide that, or if I was broken out in a certain area it could easily hide that as well. The picture above is probably one of my favorite pictures of myself... the funny thing to it is that it was actually taken the night Mike and I kissed for the first time... or I guess you could say attempted since that just resulted in him screaming in my face... so this picture marks a great memory, but also probably my most horrifically embarrassing memory in my life.

School is underway now. I am starting to feel the impact now that we are getting farther into the semester. I am taking 16 credits, so five normal classes and then an aerobic kickboxing class. I love my aerobic kickboxing class but oh my! It has been kicking my butt! I have been so sore every single day but it is so fun, and it's nice to feel that the exercise is having an impact on my body. As far as my other classes, I am enjoying them pretty well I guess. I love my internet development class, one because I never have to go, and two because it is something that I'm really into and want to get better at. I use to build websites for local bands back in North Carolina through high school but it was only things that I taught myself to do, so I am glad I am getting some real instruction to it now. I am going into Management Information Systems I think, and I have a heavy course load in front of me, and I already can't wait to be done and graduated!
