Taming of the Curl

I've accomplished something I thought was impossible. No, I did not learn to skateboard, drive a manual on a hilly-terrain, or fly on Aladdin's magic carpet*. In fact, I did something much more spectacular!

I figured out how to wear my hair curly....

AND I LIKE IT!

****Wild Applause****

Yes, yes, folks. I have accomplished the greatest feat of all feats! And here is a picture for your viewing pleasure.




Thanks to the inspiration of a fellow blogger, and a classmate who wears curly hair spectacularly, I took a 30-day au naturale challenge. I must admit there were days where I felt defeated, and overwhelmed [by frizziness!]. But I have learned to suffer through those times and have come out the other side. As to how long this will last, I'm not sure. Only time shall tell.

*I told you Disneyland has really been on my mind didn't I?

The Power of Two

I have only two more weeks until I my summer semester is completed. In hindsight, the semester has scooted on by rather quickly. However, my recollection informs me, when I started the semester, the end seemed three hundred eternities [yes... three hundred eternities!] away. I could barely fathom the end of the 4.5 hour class, let alone the end of the semester.

It's been almost as tough as riding "It's a Small World"* four times in a row. Luckily, the fact I am actually interested in what I am studying has saved the day. Along with the peace my relationship with God has given me, and my understanding husband.

I'm a couple presentations, papers, out-of-class experiences, and chapters away from the end. For now, I'll down a few more Diet Dr. Peppers and keep dreaming of the sunny beaches of my Mexican All-inclusive vacation in just a few months [August for our 5 year anniversary to be exact!], and I'm sure to get through just fine.


*Sorry, Disneyland is truly at the forefront of my daydreams as of late. Even the torturous attraction It's a Small World seems thoroughly appealing.
