Had a nice day after work today :]
Came home, took a shower, gave myself an exfoliating facial and then painted my nails sparkly purple.
Ahhhh. Just what I wanted to do on a relaxing Saturday afternoon.

Doublemint
Whoa, two posts in one day. Right on.
Anyways, tonight was very productive. I did all my homework before 8 PM (MY GOD!) and dove headfirst into a new hair regimen... Or at least started my research. Close enough right?
Anyhoo, the new "system" that I'm following is pretty strict: no silicone or sulfates, and only limited proteins in my hair products. This means that all but one of my current products is unsuitable for the future. I get to exhaust my supply of shampoos, leave-ins, creams, and and gels one by one until I have completely changed out my arsenal. Feeling excited, but also a little worried. This sounds expensive lol.
In other news, I've started seriously looking into studying in England for my Spring 2011 semester. During high school, I always imagined myself studying abroad for at least 2 semesters, but now that I have the boo, I find leaving the area--let alone the country--hard to even fathom. However, I've decided that I shouldn't give up an incredible opportunity to travel and learn more about other people and cultures. Of course, I'm not saying that the boo is holding me down; I'm simply saying that I need to get over my own separation issues, get a passport, and do what I had planned to do before falling in love. I'm not going to stress over it though because who knows, maybe my plans will fall through and I won't go abroad.
My biggest concern for studying in England is the expense. It is estimated that a semester will cost me $10,000, and only $2,200 of which my parents will agree to pay. I only have around $3,500 in the bank, so I need to start saving very aggressively if I plan on making this trip a reality given my current work hours. In fact, I don't think that I will make the difference in a years time, but we shall see.
Meanwhile, I feel like a junior in high school again because I've been looking at universities in England and trying to figure out which ones are the most prestigious/desirable. I have found a school called Roehampton University that's only 6 miles away from central London, but it seems to have piss poor rankings. I think I'll overlook this considering the location. A short bus ride from one of the most exciting places in the world seems like a fair exchange. It also offers classes in psychology and the social sciences, which given my major and junior status in 2011, are critical.
Updates on England to come... I'm going to a meeting on Thursday and I'll report back.
As the English would say, cheerio.

Lickity Split
So you know how you see those Yoplait commercials where they say that if you send in your pink lids, they will donate $.10 to breast cancer research? Well I hope the people in their mail rooms wear gloves because every single one of those lids has been licked.
Ew.
Ew.

Suddenly fascinated...
Nothing like homework to make you find absolutely everything fascinating... everything but your assignment that is. I never want to clean, but give me a paper to write and suddenly I just love cleaning my room and picking up the house.
Can you tell I have homework I should be doing? I must really be bored to put up a post for a second night in a row. Madness.

Dude.
OK I'm officially sick of the media being all "-ista" all the time. You know what I'm talking about... stupid words like "frugalista," as if -ista implies some sort of a sophistication.
-Ista is not a suffix! Well actually it technically is, but Zeus' beard, I will be beyond happy when people stop using it in asinine ways. That is all.
