I am no longer a blonde. I was absolutely terrified (especially after Xander, the hair-god extraordinaire said he was also very nervous), but it turned out beautifully! It's starting to lighten up now, so I bought the darker Brilliant Brunette. I hope it gets me back to the original color! I feel like I was born to be a brunette. It changes people's perceptions of me from ditzy to witty. Finally these bitches understand how much I freaking rock! Sheesh! :o)
I have also decided that I like my messy room. I always say I will clean it, but I never really want to. It's sloppy and cluttered and very lived-in. I keep the rest of the house quite clean, but I enjoy my small space of personal disorder.
I found out that Indiana University is ranked #1 in the nation for their Nonprofit Management master's degree program and is half the cost of Case Western. I told Mom, she freaked out, and now she's over it. I swear, that woman would handle me being an unwed mother with a raging meth addiction a lot better than me choosing to improve my life unexpectedly (my grad school decision wasn't unexpected in the slightest, she just never really expected me to follow through. Note to Momma: I will eventually get my PhD...start to prepare now so that you don't have a heart attack later when I remind you, haha). I have a visit to Case during the first part of spring break and a visit to IU the second part. I'm so exciteddddd! Luckily, a couple of the wonderful men in my life support my codependency and are accompanying me on both visits. Ivani will go with me to Case (and even attending a 2 hour Nonprofit Finance class on his spring break - what a trooper!), and Michael will go with me to IU (he needs to attend a class - all this co-op every other semester in school crap is so unfair!). I love them sooooo much! They're the absolute best. Those 2 guys, along with Mr. Andrew Cooke, are the 3 greatest men I've ever known. Good folks.
Miss Donna, my old boss from Freedom Schools, called me the other day. She wants me to return this summer! WOO HOOOOO! If you haven't had the pleasure (or misfortune, perhaps lol) of listening to me go on and on and on about how amazing FS is, let me enlighten you on my feelings: FS is the absolute best program in the entire world. I suggest everyone research it. Click here to see the site. You'll love it. I also got my FS swimsuit (must be a one-piece). It is fantastic! It's navy blue and is cut exactly like a 1950s bombshell pinup girl suit. H-O-T! It also has the added benefit of serious fat-sucker-inners, big-booby-boosters, and chubby-hip-slimmers. Excellent. I'll be looking hot and classy while chasing 40 elementary schoolers in 100 degree weather.
I also have an insane amount of work to do for next week. I'm scared to even begin. Yikes.
I love you all!
Suzmeister.
