Dazed and distracted, can't you tell?

I'm sitting here killing time until I can wash this really burny, icky dye out of my hair and get back to a normal brown color. Not that I didn't love having the purple, but it did pose a number of problems.

1. The dye would only last a week and would quickly fade into this blond gray which was hideous
2. I would wake up in the morning with purple on my pillow case, even though the dye company claimed it wouldn't come off on anything
3. Having to dye my hair once a week makes me nervous that my hair would fall out if I kept doing it so I better stop asap.
4. I constantly had purple tinged hands...made me look like i had bad circulation
5. I couldn't wear red, one of my favorite colors, or any color that didn't go with purple

So soon it'll be normal again. I'm heading back to school tomorrow so that I can finish up my final art project of the year, go to my critique on tuesday, then just hang around until the 10th. I have a few days where I don't need to be studying for my philosophy final (5 days is just too long to devote to studying for one final). I'm thinking it would be nice to take some day trips with my suitemates, if they aren't buried in work. Angie and I are planning a trip to amoeba and melrose browsing on either wednesday or thursday. I also would like to set aside a day to hang out with liz. I think we actually did non-school things together a total of twice this year. We were never very good friends throughout the year and I'm sure a lot of the fault in that is mine, but it would be cool to have a day where we could just hang out together because good, bad, or indifferent, this year has made a huge impact on my life. I'm pretty free from then until the tenth so if you are at usc and want to hang out in that time, let me know.

Had to sit through a 4 hour church planning meeting last night. It dragged on and on. i was never much for organization and planning, I'd rather just attend. It's strange being home and knowing that it's basically summer. The entire last month I've been dying for it, but now that it's here Im worried that I won't have enough to do and that I'm really going to miss my suitemates and usc friends. On the one hand, it's going to be great to have endless time to hang out with my home friends and do a bunch of things we have been talking about doing all year. I've been lucky enough to see them over breaks, but summer will allow more time to visit without feeling rushed and like we have to squeeze it into a short period of time. Movies, going dancing, eating popcorn, shopping trips, concerts, and girl nights. On the other hand, Im going to miss everyone and it's so much easier to lose weight at school. At home, Im constantly being nagged to eat meals all day (unfortunately, you can't really avoid that in a semi-russian family), but at school if I decide not to eat, no one makes me. Not that it did much good this year. I will probably gain 50 pounds. Also, there will be a shortage of cute, available guys my age over summer. During the year at usc, there are tons, i mean youre surrounded by guys your own age. Finally after a million years, got my mind off one boy...only to get interested in another? arg, vicious cycle. No more details about that, hehe sorry. Here, there are very rarely cute guys, and if they are, more than likely they are in high school because all the college people are off at college! ewwww. I think things will be looking up when a lot of people start coming home in mid-may though and i remain very excited about upcoming things.
