Hey Fuzzy!
Okay, so school started this monday... and so far I'm already stressed out! AHHH!
Anyways... So recently I went to florida & visited my aunt. I had a blast :) The gulf of mexico was so nice!
ANYWAYS.
I GOT MY HAIR CUT!
It's shoulderlength with sideswept bangs and layers.... I'll post a photo on trichworld soon.
The stylist was very nice. She didn't make me feel uncomfortable, and even incorperated my regrowth into my haircut (I had shorter layers... they blend in now).
Well, I'm tired... waking up at 5:30am sucks.
So, Goodnight!

Hey Fuzzy!
Boy, do I have a LOT to update on! I've been gone for about 4 1/2 weeks... so I'll split this up into each week.
Week 1:
Okay, so I'm a camper at my favorite camp ever, which is in PA. The week is amazing. I do low ropes, tie dye, etc. I hiked up Peter's Mountain on a really humid day with some buddies of mine. Never hike up a steep, rocky mountain in humid, hot weather while dehydrated... you might get a headache. Also, never go on an adventure in flipflops like some of my friends did. A few of my friends and I also went to the lake in the middle of the night... it was so peaceful and relaxing, and the full moon was beautiful. I also learned a few volleyball tips (I suck at volleyball). Three of my friends (Peter, Carlos and Sharon) learned to never stargaze in the middle of an unbusy road... the guy who employes everyone working there might sneak up on you with his car. It was super fun :) To end the week was my first LaudryMat experience (at the end of the week I became volunteer staff). The staff goes each friday night. My washing machine (which I was sharing with a few other people) ended of spewing soapy water all of the floor, creating a slippy circle for us :)
Week 2:
I'm volunteering at the same camp with my sister. Both of us are in the main center, working in the kitchen. We were working with family campers. My sister was helping with the dishroom, while myself and 2 other people were working in the dining room vacumming, etc. Also during that week, I conquered my massive fear of heights for the day. One of my friends who is a Rec Director there told me how rock climbing helped him, so for the first time in a few years, I decided to do the rock wall -- the hardest one. It took me awhile, but I made it. There were so many times I just wanted to quit, but with the help of my friends, I made it, and it felt GREAT! Also, I got to learn all the inside jokes among the staff, and felt really welcomed. Towards the end of the week, my friend, Ben, my sister, another guy named Matt, and a lifegaurd, Jacob, created an airband. There were kids asking for their signatures :P That friday, we went back to the LaundryMat. Zil and my machine went crazy. It filled up with soapy water then stopped working, so we had to transfer the soaking clothing to a different laundry machine, which ended up spilling a little soapy water. :P Also that weekend was a staff event: The Amazing Race 2010. We got clues and raced (going in the speedlimits) to certain locations, etc. The people in the car I was in coulda died though. Our driver was going too fast on a counrty road at night, and didn't see a turn. I've never heard breaks scream so loud, nor have ever smelled tires burn so much. We missed the trees and woods by inches. If the driver hadn't reacted when she did, we would've rammed into the woods..... I was really shaky after that.
Week 3:
My sister and I were also volunteering this week. I was up at the other eating facility this week. I enjoyed the change -- I was working for people about my age. I got to see a friend, emily, I hadn't seen for about three years. So much has changed for both of us. This week, I got to join the airband as a backup guitarist/singer. Fun stuff :) Being in the kitchen, though, was tough. I worked all three meals, probably working about 11 hours a day. During breaks, I'd help out with Moms & Tots, which was also going on that week. I always got such an energy boost from those kids. Since it was the last week of camp, we all had an allnighter the last night. It was fun. I actually did okay at volleyball, gazed at the stars, watched some random movie I don't remember (from being so dead tired), etc. It was sooo fun. Saying goodbye sucked though :(
Week 4:
My family and I went to Bethany Beach. The weather was really nice except for thursday night, when it rained. I never knew how much more confidence I gained from being pf from my scalp starting jan. 2. My hair looked normal in the ocean -- no bald spots, no worries. I could let my hair down, rather than having to place it up a certain way. I actaully liked having my hair wet. Before the storm, the waves were perfect. They were huge, and fun. Yeah, there was a stronger current, but it wasn't too bad. Those were the best waves I've ever experienced. Friday, though, the waves were way to big and far out. The lifegaurds didn't let anyone really get into the water -- with good reason: the current was so strong, like a riptide. They were having to go out several times to bring kids in. The waves also broke early, and they weren't fun. The boardwalk was nice, though. I enjoyed getting icecream from the same shop I used to get it from when I was ittybitty. The last night we were there, last friday, we went to ocean city. We went on a few rides and saw a sandsculpture. Needless to say, the beach was fun :)
Week 5 (so far):
So far, this week I've been in D.C. My friend, my sister, myself, and my mom went to the fair near there. It was soo much fun! I got to hold a baby goat, and we saw cows, bunnies, goats, mini horses, normal horses, pigs, etc. One of my other favorite parts of the day was watching the pig races. They raced piglets, ducks, goats, rookie piglets, and potbelly pigs. It was adorable ^_^ At night, we went on a few rides. I felt very accomplished -- I went on the two tallest rides there (the really high swing one, and the one that takes you up and drops you). I'm super scared of heights, but sometimes a little peer pressure can be good! I had fun :) We also tried fried oreos, which I'm not a huge fan of... I don't like the chocolate cookie taste. To end the night, my friend, my sister and I all raced down one of the little kid slides... and I won... twice... take that twin sister! :P
Anyways, these past few weeks have been some of the best. I haven't gotten my haircut yet, but I'm hoping to this weekend. Sadly, school starts the 30th.... so soon! AHHHH!
Well, it's getting late, so goodnight and talk to you soon (hopefully!)
