It's official!

Today is my last day with orange hair. Yes folks, the Rosie is finally completely fed up with the ridiculous orange colour of her otherwise very healthy and shiny hair, and has decided to take drastic action. It's name is Fiery Bright Red. Also known as "Little Mermaid Hair". I have the box in my room, and as soon as I make some form of effort to actually commence my day, I'll go do the deed. If it looks bad, well, I own quite a few hats. Oh well. I figure I have to do it at least once in my life. And hey, maybe I'll stop traffic. That could be fun.

Well! It's been an alright week, I suppose. Marred by a few things, bien sur, but there's been some veritable highlights. Shall we commence:

1. I got an A on my first ever assignment! German 103 - true, it wasn't the most complex thing in the world, but hey! An A is an A. One swallow doesn't make summer, but still... a good start? Peut-etre?

2. Thursday night, went and saw Pie and Moped on campus. It was fun. A school friend showed up and bought me a beer (without asking) which I am happy to say I didn't drink. For those of you who don't know, I've had a few issues with alcohol and have made the decision that I will no longer drink at all. And it was sitting right there in front of me and I didn't drink it, even though, let's face it, I wasn't around any of my friends who would have stopped me. I'm very proud of myself.

A few lowlights, however.

1. I missed a youth group social coz I had to get work off so I can go to the One Way practice tonight. Missing the youth group social is slightly disappointing, but I think it's worth it to get to this practice. Also, I think I might get my head cut off if I miss this practice. And hey, work = chinese food. Pity that those scavengers (Char, Michael, Carrie and Stuart) ate all my food. Oh well. I did have quite a few spring rolls and a lot of soup.

2. I'm still not liking the one tutorial thing on Fridays. It seems like a real waste of money. And Nick was supposed to meet me for lunch afterwards, but he ran away to a job interview. Humbug. Oh well, at least he got the job. Mission accomplished, James Nerdy Bond!

But over all - la vie est belle. 1000 word French essay due in 3 weeks! About the NZ flag. Yikes! I'd better get cracking. I also need to do some serious vocab learning for both German and Spanish. I was thinking about making myself some worksheets with words that I know in all 4 languages, to see how well I'm doing. Maybe try to de-confuse myself.

Oh well. On with the day... and Little Mermaid Hair!
