My Hair is Softer Than That Thang.

... And "That thang" is a cloud...idk.

anyhousenwhosen, I'm sitting here watching one of these Weylie videos, and it reminded me that I have to write about my hair because it feels AMAZING!!!!!

Like I have this thick, relaxed hair, and it used to be drier than the desert, like I kid you not.

So, anysnooch, I was looking around online for things to do with tea tree oil, because I knew it was a great astringent and all that other stuff (there's literally so much info on that stuff it's not even funny, like, wikipedia or something), and I came across this blog where a woman had added some to her shampoo, and I followed a commenter's instructions, because she didn't know how much per oz she had been adding, and the commenter said to add about 1 tablespoon per 200ml. I had a 300ml bottle, so I probably added like ...2.5 or 3. The shampoo I got was a twofer, (shampcon) by Herbal Essences, the Unbreakable Seduction...SO amazing, and it smells great. Also, I really like the smell of tea tree oil, so the fact that it almost overpowers my shampoo smell (until I'm blowdrying), doesn't bother me.

Anyway, I was blowdrying my hair, and I noticed that it was softer than usual already. Then I flat ironed it (which I previously hadn't done for about two weeks or so...I was trying to cut down). It was softer than Aiden's hair. And his hair's pretty dang soft! I've shown you guys pics of him, right? Anyhousenwhosen, it also took care of the dandruff problem I was having ever since I started GHE'ing (which I had previously stopped doing because it caused the dandruff to begin with...I'm probably never going back to that mess). My hair stays soft for days. I still wash twice a week, but I feel like I might be able to cut down now that my hair feels taken care of.

kk, that's all.

psyche!

I forgot to mention that my hair suffers way less breakage. Nary a strand when I comb, and the sink stays pretty clean when I blowdry/iron. I used to have a terrible breakage problem.

"If you don't like it, give it back" Whaaa~~~~~?

Hey, guys. Recently, I switched jobs, and I've also not been feeling very hungry (as in, I'm not eating out of boredom or just to eat, I genuinely only eat when I'm hungry), so I don't finish much of the food I am given (usually by the cooks who make the food earlier in the day for the seniors, or they bring it from home). I try to take only what I think I can eat, but I invariably end up dumping it, anyway.

There's somewhat of a language barrier between me and the cooks, so when I was told to give the food back if I didn't want it, I was a little taken aback, like "what? I...I really like the food. What are you even...oh, yeah, I do dump a lot of food I guess", but I figured no one would want my sloppy remainders, because who really wants to eat after someone else?

Well, anyway, I'm glad they offer the food, because eating off of the menu everyday, sometimes I really can't decide, and some days, I just really don't want to because I know that what they made the seniors actually tastes really good, and what I would end up choosing from the menu would be calorie laden, and not too filling.

I'm not ready for next week to start, the weekend is too fun :D

Back to School - DormLife

Hey, everyone. Sorry I took such a long hiatus, but here we are and it's almost back to school time.

I decided that I'd share what I know about dorm life to hopefully help make your stay in the dorms a bit more enjoyable.

so first off, is friendmaking. It'll be easier if you're outgoing, but even if you aren't, people will likely approach you. You are almost guaranteed to make friends, unless you are hell-bent on making enemies, or not meeting people, I guess.

Dorms sometimes organize trips, and even if they don't, if you join a club, they likely will, so you can look forward to those things. Even if you don't particularly like the trip, you can just chill with your friends at the event. (Our dorm always had a trip to the mall. Everyone has been there several times, but we still made it fun.)

Since you'll be in a dorm, you will have an RA. At least one. Get to know them because if anything goes wrong, or you need to talk, that's what they're there for. In my video, I mentioned not doing this to manipulate them, I have a very long story that I don't want to get into, but over the course of a month, I ended up needing my RA and several other staff because of room mate issues gone terribly awry, they spilled over into school, and I was very lucky to have them on my side. Because I was alway talking to them, and very honest about what happened, and everything else going on with me, things ended up going very well for me, and I was made student of the month.

More later, I have to go right now. :P
