GRrrrrrrE

So I'm taking the GRE General Test this Thursday. Besides many attempts to make me not worry about it, by friends and fellow bloggers, I am still concerned about my score. If I get a less than average score, I'll feel stupid, if I get a higher than average score I think I'll be alright.

Lots of other things are going on in my life right now, which if you remind me I'll blog about later, but I really have to go to work. While I am there, hopefully no one will ask for my help (I'm not getting paid a lot, other people are, they should do the work), and I can finish my Working Outline and my Preliminary Results. I don't know what else to work on besides that. Oh! Topology proofs, I need to do some of those too.

I was inspired by some of the students on my visit to read more math books. I really was. Will it sink in? I'm not too sure about that. But, at least the idea is there. Which is more than I can say about most things.

I had my room clean for a little while, now it's in shambles again. But I think I could fix it this weekend, since I won't be going to Austin this weekend that is. I want to work on my file folders, because I haven't kept up with them and I'd like to. I have also been comtemplating buying Microsoft Money for a while, this week I'm going to do it. I will also be cutting/dyeing my hair. Well, someone else will be doing it. My friend down the hall cut her own hair, in her frusteration about not being able to get a professional to cut it. Well, she did a damn good job. Now she wants to do my hair. I figure that, with less than a year left until the wedding, this could be a risk. BUT, I trust her and don't think she'll cut off too much.

The biggest difference between what I have now and what she wants to give me: bangs. I've had bangs before, a long time ago, but never kept up with them. So I'm kind of scared about that. I also don't know if it'll grow out fast enough to be my regular length before the wedding. But I think I'm going to risk it.

I wish I had a digital camera so I could post a pic of what my hair looks like now, but later I could post a pic of what we're looking at changing it to. I have mid-back length dark brown hair, almost black. Straight as a board, ok it waves a little sometimes, depending on how I sleep with it. I have never been too jazzy and like low-maintenance haircuts. Any suggestions other than layers (which I have been doing forever and which is what we're going to be doing, but with different layers)? We'll also be adding highlights to lighten my hair (right before winter...).

I do think that it will grow out by the wedding, mostly because I've been losing a lot of hair lately and you can't tell I'm losing hair. Stress mostly, at least I hope. So I think it will grow like a jungle and I'll be back to my non-conformist self soon. At least I think so.
