I got a haircut today.
I have to point that out, I know, because when you see me the fact that I took off 4½ inches of hair off today really won't be apparent to most of you.
But I feel like a new person, like I molted off all the unheathy, tangled up and dried out parts of me.
"Today feels like a Monday to me." said the woman who was cutting my hair for me.
"Everyday feels like a Monday to me." I replied.
Another woman who worked at the shop chimed in, "Now honey, you've got it all backwards. You have to say that everyday is Friday. That way you just have a series of Fridays.
"Today's not Monday, its Tuesday-Friday."
I spent much of the remainder of my day running my hands through my new hair. It made me feel surprisingly grounded.
Well, mostly grounded, anyway.
"Marine Enviroment is making me want to tear my face off, just so I have an excuse to get out of it."
"No offense, but I don't think you'd be as attractive without a face." chided Tessa.
This week I have to read an article from a scientific journal on hydrothermal vent communities, summarize it, and then summarize everything I have learned thus far about hydrothermal vent communities and cold-seep communities. (Both should be typed, single-spaced, 11 point, 1 page.) I also have a test in History of Rock 'n' Roll on Friday.
If I keep acting like I've really got a handle on the science stuff, maybe it will eventually be true.
Can't wait for the weekend... send me good vibes, or smart vibes if you are a science major.
