Projects and Tips

Hola Fuzzy!!!

Sorry I haven't been writing terribly recently (I blame it on schol). Yesterday, we got the sign-up sheet for next year courses! I'm pretty sure what I want to take, but you'll just have to wait until the begining of the next school year to see my classes.

Anyways, in english we are finally reading the Odyssey. Along with the reading, we were assigned a project regarding a Greek myth. I got Medusa :)

Also due next week is my Critical Book Review in history. We have to right a 2-4 page summary on the book, as well as a 2-4 page response. I'm reading Gates of Fire for this project (I'll let you know how it is once I'm done).

The final project I believe is due next week in my nutrition diet/paper in Intro To Health And Medical Sciences (also called HAMS). This, I believe, will be my easiest project this week.

Tomorrow, I have an Algebra 2 test. It's on radicals. I've heard that many people did not finish. I, however, will study, and pass.

O, I almost forgot! I need to update you on my trichy life:

I am currently 25 days pull free! I'm so happy! Here are a few things that have personally helped me:

1. Wear hats whenever possible. For some reason, it works (every time)

2. Whenever I feel the urge to pull, I play with playdoh. It keeps my hands busy enough until my urge fades. This, I have found, is especially usefull while watching tv, since I don't miss the show.

3. Blogging. I don't know why, but writing to you, Fuzzy, is extremely relaxing and actually helps!

4. Talking to other Trichsters. I have never told any of my friends, so talking to people who know EXACTLY what I'm going through is inspiring.

5. Keeping count of days I have NOT PULLED A SINGLE HAIR. In the past, I have allowed my self one or so a day, and I quickly went on a pulling spree.

6. Stay out of high pulling situations. For example, I pull when reading alone, so I try to read near people.

7. Don't give up! Face the problem head on, victoriously!

8. For some people, wearing fake nails help. I have never used this (I'm not into that kind of thing).

9. I tell trich that I WILL NOT put up with its crap anymore. Trich is my drug. Trich is my enemy. I will kill Trich. :P

10. I just try to stay positive and believe in myself. I know it helps.

Anyways, since I just finished my homework and the UPS guy just delivered Gates of Fire (by Steven Pressfield), I should probably get started on that project.

Well, see ya Fuzzy!
