8 inches gone
Short blog from me tonite. I just wanted everyone to know that I finally got fed up enough with my hair to chop eight inches off of it. I am now sporting a nice shoulder grazing bob haircut. I feel liberated once more. I really hate having long hair but get guilt tripped by my mom when I cut it. I know long hair looks nice but it really annoys me. It always gets tangled and in the way. Short hair is definitely easier. Well that's about all I did today that was interesting. I will let you all know how tomorrow goes. Adios!

A woman cutting her hair has always been a sign of freedom, its your hair, I'm glad your free.

Would have loved to do it for you, Katie. I'll bet it looks terrific. I hope you got a luxurious pampering shampoo. That always helps to set your mood when you're getting ready to whack a bunch off. LOL

I didn't get my hair shampooed before I got it cut because I was in a hurry but I do feel like hairdressers wash hair the best.
My hair grows super fast and every time it grows back and I say I'm going to get it cut, my mom pouts and I wind up putting it off for awhile. I think it's because she always had short hair as a child and wanted long hair.
I am pleased with it and the last time it was this length, I got a lot of compliments so I think this hair length fits me.

Good for you! I love getting my hair cut. I always feel like I've lost some weight. :-)

We've all heard of parents who live through their children, and cram them into their own educational and religious moulds, but my goodness - that's the first time I've heard of a grown woman having long hair because that's what her mother always wanted. Can't your mother grow her own hair?
I can't really talk. My mother used to brush my hair off my face. She was still doing it when I was 40.
I wear my hair shoulder length. It doesn't really matter how long it is, though. What matters is that I am, at last, grown up enough to decide for myself how long to have it. I'm delighted that you have found a length which pleases you. If it pleases the people looking at it, that's a bonus.
It's yours - wear it with pride!

Oh, I forgot to mention that when I was younger my mom would guilt-trip me into not cutting my hair either. When I finally did it, I felt like this HUGE burden had been lifted! I was about 13 at the time.

She guilt trips me but gets over it and her hair is long now. I pulled my hair back with bobby pins today for my interview and it actually stayed because my hair is no longer heavy.

I've never understood why people get so attached to their hair. If you get a bad cut, it will grow back! I'm constantly changing the length of my hair (not sure if there is psychology to that). I've grown out my pixie cut over the last year and I've got long hair now. It feels very strange, but I think I will keep it a while.
I bet your hair looks very sassy! Doesn't it always seem thicker or fuller when you get a good lop cut off? Be free Katie! And, how did your interview go?

I always feel it looks healthier and fuller when I get it cut. Glad to see I'm not the only one.
My interview went okay I think. They did make you sit down and write out what academic integrity means to you but it only had to be a paragraph long so I have no trouble with that. Then, I went before a board of three women. Two of them were very nice from the start but the one who seemed to be in charge was a little curt. She started rattling off my scores on the test and my G.P.A. to the other two and the one lady said based on my math scores, I could teach the math part of their school. They asked me why I didn't apply early decision and I told them because I was having an issue getting a Chem class and if I'd be willing to do the day option to which I replied no because of babysitter issues with Koty. Also, once I kind of cut one of the panel members off. I didn't mean to but I was nervous and I did apologize. I don't know if that hurt me or not but they said I will know by March 1st. Thanks for asking Squisher.

If they're any use, they will overlook your nerves and accept your apology - they'd have to be pretty poisonous not to. If they got an applicant who wasn't nervous, they'd wonder what was wrong with them. Diary note for 1st March!

They did tell me that everyone was nervous so hopefully they didn't hold it against me. I really think they were annoyed that I didn't apply early decision though. Maybe they don't have enough spots for the night option. There are only 60 spots for both options so I will be really lucky if I get in. I am kind of hoping for a scholarship too so I really have my fingers crossed. I have a 3.8 G.P.A. and great testing scores so hopefully that will be good enough.

I know enough about GPAs to know that 3.8 is genius level.

Happy FT Anniversary, Katie!
3.8 GPA...You're a shoe in!

Lol Lesley and Veronikka! I know it's good but it could better better. Sometimes life gets in the way though.
Thanks for the well wishes. I didn't know I had been here for a year so I was surprised to see the veteran badge today.
