New Haircut - 3 days & 3 hrs

Today's big accomplishment was getting my haircut.  It's pretty different from what I had.  I have bangs once again.  I probably won't be getting my haircut while I'm over there so I decided that my new look has to be something that will grow gracefully.  My brother saw me and didn't mention a thing.  I had to be all cliche and say "notice anything different about me?"  At which he responded, "Well you got a haircut."  Men, take notice.  When a girl does something like get a big haircut, MENTION it.  you don't even have to tell us you like it until we lead you into that.  Just say something like "Hey, you got a haircut."  I don't know why it's a big deal, but it is.  Just say that you've noticed, that's all we want.

Here is your classic image.  Not feeling very photogenic today.

And here is your classic myspace pic.  I couldn't help myself I had to take one, toilet and all.

I am so white in these pictures.  I can't wait to get some color in my skin.  Anyway, I work tonight. 3:15 - 11 ish.  I'll be driving 2 hrs to film a high school basketball game and the weather is supposed to get a little icky.  But my friend and fellow London traveler, Bailey, will be going with me so it's not so bad.

My 2 New Loves - 22 Days

Yesterday I got a new phone: the HTC Droid Eris.  It's a smart phone which means that I will owe more money a month, but it's about time that I upgraded.  Plus I seriously needed a new phone because my old one was crapping out.  I spent all of last night adding contacts and syncing to Facebook and twitter.  Because I am a nerd it was fun.  The phone isn't international though, so when a few days before I go to London I will transfer my number back to an older phone so I don't have to pay data charges while I am abroad.  I will have to get a phone over there for emergency purposes as well.

But my biggest and favorite gift came today, about 45 minutes ago.  My VISA arrived via FedEx.  My friend and travel buddy, Bailey, called me up to tell me that she got hers and I was happy for her but sad for me.  So what do I do?  I immediately go check the status of my Visa at itseasy.com.  No surprises, it says its "processing".  They provide the option for you to check your status, but they don't really update it very well.  About five minutes after that the doorbell rang and it was FedEx with my phone's car charger and my Visa.  I squealed a little bit.  There may have been jumping with a slight victory dance as well.

Now nothing is standing in my way of London and working in London.  Work is the reason I needed the visa in the first place.  I got a sweet internship at TDG (The Design Group).  They do branding and labeling for big companies like Olay and Nestle.  Anyway, that's my update for now.  See you soon!
