Painting the roses red...

[ateramor]

Or rather, my hair. A sudden desire to change something came over me today and I decided to bow to the whim. Though I'm not surprised, I find when I feel like I have no control on the things around me that I will find a way to control something, i.e. something physical about my person, and it's been so hectic and stressful on my end lately. All I seem to do these days is go to work and school. In fact I haven't had a day off from either in over two months. In the past two weeks alone I've written three papers, taken two finals, and two tests while simultaneously working full time and attending all six of my classes. And I still have two C++ programs to write and have yet another test on Monday before my normal week of finals begin next Saturday. Needless to say I've all but given up sleep, averaging only somewhere around three hours a night. I mean seriously, what on earth possessed me to take six classes again? I didn't learn my lesson the other two times? And I wasn't even working full time during those previous semesters. Live and learn I suppose.

I'm taking a recuperative evening tonight though, one in which I am in serious need of. Once I rinse out this dye I'm going to curl up and watch a good movie and then sleep. Wondrous, beautiful sleep. It's funny how much you come to appreciate these small acts of comfort when deprived of them for what seems like ages.

::sigh:: I can't wait for summer!
