I have an interview tuesday morning for a classroom 30 minutes away in burlington county. Please pray/wish/hope whatever for me, I really need this. The only bad thing about this is that my father's absolutely insistent that I cut my hair to some preppy supershort businessy professional cut. So if I don't get he job, i'm on the hook for a monthly expense I don't want to deal with, for a change in my appearance I don't want, or need. Last time I had short hair, I was the kid who got beat up in high school, couldn't speak up for himself, talk to girls (or anyone, really) and was a complete loser. I know for a fact that my hair is perfectly acceptable in the schools, because it's NEVER been a problem before. This is frustrating situation for me, and frankly, is causing me FAR more stress than it should ,since it's 'just' a haircut. But Me with long hair is VERY different from who I was with short hair. Only two (I think) of the people on my friends list, and a couple other 'lurker' types who read this, knew me when I started growing it out, and really changing my personality. It sounds lame, but part of my identity really is tied to my hair, and my appearance. The idea of cutting it off freaks me out. It doesn't help either that in this part of the country, I'm already ugly to most people, and my hair's been sort of the 'saving grace' of my appearance. I really don't want to lose my good feature. Ugh. I hate this more than worrying about the interview.
