last week, we decided to dye our hair for girls' NEWMACs. well, me and a few people did, everyone else wanted to shave crazy things into their heads. so i thought it would be fun to grab some bleach and hair dye and go crazy!
first, i bleached my hair. it turned out alright - the roots were still dark but the tips were all nice and shiny yellow. perfect. later that day, i dyed it red. used up the whole bottle. now my hair was bright red, and the roots were still dark. perfect.
yesterday, i decided to dye my hair back to black so it would be somewhat normal again. so i found my bottle i bought at hot topic and then proceeded to dye my hair black with alana's help. while i was getting it dyed, i noticed that it had a slight hint of purple and it smelled strongly of grapes, although the bottle clearly said "jet black". but whatever, it was probably just the light.
and then i washed out my hair in the shower.
the water turned blue.
my hair turned purple.
and then it turned brown.
and it still smells like grape!

confused
it's been a very up and down term.
i feel like my life is taking a trip on a roller coaster right now. some parts of my life are going really well, and i am enjoying them fully. others, however, are just lagging behind.
i feel like my priorities are mixed, and as days go by more and more i just don't feel like myself anymore. things that interested me before now no longer have an impact on my life. things that i used to care about a lot no longer give me that sense of urgency that i must pay attention to it. i am living a very relaxed and carefree life, but i am also in a state of panic, especially now that the term is coming to an end. things that i have to get done are not getting done.
i keep telling myself that these feelings are temporary, but it seems like it's happening more often.
i just needed somewhere to write this out so that i can look back at it.
and i really hope that i don't stay this way.

where are your notes?
Lee Chiang: you're in my blogNick Catano: i thought it was gonna be something cool
so i got up at 8:30 to go to breakfast, which almost never happens because i dislike waking up an hour and a half before class. usually i get up around 10 minutes before class starts, just enough time for me to roll out of bed, put on a sweatshirt, and walk out the door with my eyes shut. but you know, i'm kinda glad i got up today. i ate a pretty filling meal and sat around for a bit before going to dynamics.
you know that feeling when you accomplish something really early on in the day and then it makes you feel good for the rest of the day? yup, i felt that today. i was proud of the fact that i got up early.
i brought ellen the recruit to dynamics today because she didn't want to go to class with nick catano. or as she put it, "english sucks". but anyway, we sat down and about 20 minutes into class, the teacher turns around and looks at her and says, "how come you're not taking notes, my friend?" and then everyone laughed, because she wasn't actually in the class. embarassing? maybe. interesting though, cause this happened to my recruit last week too. hmm.
at practice today, the water was so murky that i couldn't see the wall in front of me. i almost crashed into it three times, and twice i completely missed my turn. i blame carl, because it's always his fault for screwing up the pool on mondays. stupid carl. in brighter news, i sorta fixed my start - at least i don't go scuba diving for pennies at the bottom of the pool anymore. and i went a 16.99 in my 40 free! finally broke 17, haha.
i checked my package tracker last night, and it said my phone charger arrived in shrewsbury yesterday. which is right next door to worcester. however, it seems like people can't drive the ten minutes to deliver the package here to WPI on mondays, so i do not have the charger yet :(
and alana just told me she had a frosty.
so i'm gonna go find some ice cream.

true story
today i wanted to go outside, but i had a small dilemma. i didn't want to put on my big heavy winter coat cause it wasn't that cold out, but i didn't want to wear just a sweatshirt cause it probably wouldn't be enough. so then i looked in my closet and found this vest jacket that i never wore before. i brought it to school because i found it at home in some obscure closet and thought it would be useful.
anyway, i put it on, and was happy to see that it fit. and then i started searching the pockets to put my wallet and phone in. i found one on the inside of the jacket, so i put my phone in it.
then i decided i didn't like how the phone felt against my chest, so i took it out.
and then i found five dollars.
in the pocket.
happy valentine's day everyone! :)

men in tights
oh my god, it was freaking hot outside today. since when did the weather decide to suddenly jump to 50 degrees? not that i'm complaining, but at least you should have told me before i decided to walk outside decked out in heavy winter clothes (which proved to be very unnecessary). regardless, i liked it. go away snow, your time is up.
i love wednesdays, simply because i have one and only one class. i decided to entertain myself today by counting the number of times professor fofana said "k?" or any variation of that. i did the same thing yesterday and got around 42 in 10 minutes, but this time he got all the way up to 117 in approximately... 45 minutes. that's practically 2.5 times a minute! once every 24 seconds! can you imagine ever talking like that? i think he's slightly crazy haha.
after a well-deserved afternoon nap, i went to practice only to find out that it was time for...
GIRLS SUITS AND TIGHTS
yep. i had to wear one of those.
stop laughing, i can hear you.
hahahahaha if only i had a picture of us... i know kaitlyn came down with a camera and started taking pictures, sigh. at least it marked the start of taper because it's what we do every year, though last year i didn't wear tights cause i was a wuss and didn't want to try it. but this time, oh man... i can't believe i fit my entire lower half into that thing. seriously, have you ever opened a brand new package of tights and seen how small the leg hole is? even though it stretches like crazy, it just looks... ridiculous. anyway, practice was fun, everyone looked silly, and we all got a good laugh. that's all that matters, right?
i finally decided to buy a new phone charger so i can transfer my phone once again. hopefully i'll have that one up and working within the next week so i can get rid of this brick that some people like to call a cellular phone.
oh, and during lunch i had a delicious chocolate cake shoved in front of my face. i really REALLY wanted to eat it, but noooo, i couldn't. and besides, alana decided to give it to someone else, who apparently didn't want it either.
how many more days do i have left? :(

clumsy
sometimes, i wonder how i still manage to get along with life just fine when i manage to screw up just about everything.
as i walked to class this morning, i slipped on a huge piece of ice and almost ate it in front of everybody.
as i was eating lunch, i got up to get some soup. i lifted the lid to pick up the ladle, and right when i grabbed the ladle, the lid fell into the soup and just sat there. two people laughed at me.
as i was sitting at my desk, i stared at my open, half-full nalgene, thinking about how bad it would be if it fell over and spilled. i then stood up and knocked my nalgene off my desk, soaking all my clothes on the floor.
i think i'm getting the hang of this.

weekend news
so the weather decided to warm up today. sweeeeeet.
anyway, as you can see i've decided to take up blogging again. it's been a while since i've touched xanga or anything like that, but nowadays i feel like i have a lot more to say. and i think my life is more interesting... ha (see below).
so i went grocery shopping today to get a bunch of food for the house, which was pretty fun considering it was at 10 in the morning. we bought maybe $400 worth of groceries, most of which was just restocking everything. it was all going well until we reached the dessert aisle and grabbed two HUGE boxes of cheesecake. holding them made me wonder why i'm still doing the challenge.
yesterday we had our final meet of the season against bridgewater state. and both teams won! pretty awesome way to end the regular season on both sides. i swam pretty well too, considering how i never swim backstroke anymore but managed to go a 57 mid in the 100. we also successfully pulled off a sweep in the 200 free relay, which almost never happens, but we got 3 teams (and almost 4) to beat out their best relay. i feel kinda bad, but not really because it was already exhibition.
and then afterwards we went out to eat at a nice restaurant. a bunch of parents went, and we gave out small awards to the seniors. overall it was pretty good, and as someone put it - this is basically the same as daka food, but it just tastes better.
i also almost got force-fed two chocolate chip cookies.
try harder.

dessert challenge!
so for those who don't know what the dessert challenge is, here are the details.
background
on january 27th, 2009, me and alana were sitting in daka and eating dinner when we came up with the wonderful idea to stop eating dessert for a week. of course, this sucks, because i love dessert like no other and i eat just about EVERYTHING that has sugar in it. so i said sure, let's give it a shot.
when one week was over, we were bold enough to to stretch it out even further - no desserts until NEWMACs (february 27th)! and almost two weeks later, here i am, dessert free (with the exception of two cupcakes, half an ice cream cake, and three oreos. read rule #2).
today is day 12.
oh my god.
rules
1. you may not eat any kind of dessert, which includes pie, cake, cookies, ice cream, and anything in between.
2. a dessert may be eaten on a special occasion (i.e. birthday, party, any kind of celebration).
3. thinking about desserts is okay. tasting a dessert is not.
4. if i get a dessert unwillingly shoved in my mouth, it does not count.
that means you, bobby.
