The new me

So this is my new hair do. It's very short at the back and I love the cute longer bits on the sides. I really like this hair cut. I don't have to do much to it. My showering/hair-styling routine has changed a little but not so much to make it an inconvenience. Actually, it feels better! I feel like I don't have to do much to it and I don't. It's light and always looks nice. I don't have a useless pony tail that always looked funny. I'm glad I cut my hair.

I turn 24 in a week. I can't believe how fast it crept up! I realised a few weeks ago that my birthday was coming up but now it's almost here and it just seems so quick. I'm excited though. My next birthday year and 2011 will be great. I will finally be rid of the years spent with Yorick and I can start afresh. I'm a bit scared of being 24 though. Getting older is scary but I also enjoy it. I think for my birthday we'll have a family dinner at home and have home-made pizza's. I might go for a nice walk or to a cute cafe and treat myself. I always like to do something like that, something just for me, something special on my birthday. Mum's having friends over that day so I'll stick around for that then go off for a bit and come home for dinner. Mud cake! I'm hoping for some gift vouchers to The Picture Gallery, a lovely store in Hobart that sells beautiful framed pictures. I always walk past it and wish for many of them. I think my sister will get me one and I'll be getting some new ugg boots from mum and dad. I'll go track them down early next week and let mum know where to get them from.

I've been looking into Melbourne and Deakin University for museum studies courses. They have the Graduate Certificate and Diploma's there but only have the Masters in Cultural Heritage, which wouldn't be so bad. I'm applying at the moment. It'll be an alright substitute for Sydney. I might even be able to share a house with Holly and Ruben. Carly and Amy are there and I would love to see them more but it's not my own adventure. It's not my fresh start. It won't be about me being independent and only relying on myself to get things done. That's part of the reason for Sydney. Plus they have a better Uni and better course. Time will tell.

A lovely sales assistant in Ruby's Room loved my new hair cut when I went in there last Wednesday and she said I should accessorise with earrings! I really want to get these heart earrings up and running. I think they will be great. I can always put them back to being necklaces and wear 3 at once. Haha. Maybe not. I love that I've finally gotten them though. I went in and got one, then went back half an hour later for the second two. There were four there but one had gone so I was lucky to get the second two. I'm glad I did. I also got a little birthday present for Emma, which I will give her tomorrow night. I need Onba. Cosmopolitans and Emma and Cool Thai make it all better.

I've bought the Union Jack bed spread for next year. I also have some armwarmers and legwarmers on the way. I love pay day.
