Today hasn't been disastrous, on the productivity level. Went to opticians, remembered just how fun eye tests are -- although I gave my optician a "WTF?" moment when I told him I'm learning to knit -- and I'm not going crazy thinking I couldn't see the whiteboard in lectures properly, because I do need a new prescription. Even better, he's found a tricksy way to get me some new, free contacts for a month. I'm not complaining. *Free*. New glasses can wait a while, because not free and also, very broke.
And then I went to get my hair cut. I just turned up and asked when they could fit me in instead of booking a time with the girl who usually cuts it, so I had no idea what it was going to turn out like with the random girl. And, inevitably, I got home and realised I hated it, because she'd cut it waaaaaay too square in front. So I attacked the front with scissors to put layers in it. I know, I know, £23+ for a haircut and I go and attack it with scissors the moment I get home. She had just totally ignored that I asked for layers in front though and, despite this sudden craze for square-cut long hair, it makes me look stupid so I layered it. I even managed not to screw it up too badly, so now I'm happy. Aside from the weirdness of going from hair-halfway-down-my-back to hair-just-below-my-shoulders, it's much better. *Lighter*, my head feels like it weighs half as much as before which is so much better for the summer, not to mention my sanity. I just wish I could get it as smooth as the hairdressing people do. Damn them and their inanely-expensive hair products.
Nevermind; it's getting stripes hennaed into it in a couple of weeks, red and black. It's really going to be an experiment to see how bright I can get the henna. Expect screamswhen if it goes wrong.
I've been so boring lately. >_< And also, useless. I still haven't answered and email from over a month okay and I'm starting to have serious guilt issues. First thing tomorrow, I'm catching up on all that and then starting work on coursework. Which probably means I should go do fun stuff now since the real work starts tomorrow.
Oh and yes, I really am learning to knit. *facepalm* Don't ask.
