Registration

I registered for classes this morning at 12:01 am. I have finally obtained enough credits to have the earliest priority registration date, besides the graduate students. This time of year is always a very pensive one for me. It is very difficult to plan what classes you want to take 6 months in advance. Upon examining my graduation plan, I realized something I hadn't before. I only need 4 more classes to graduate. All of these classes, plus the creative writing class I want to take, are offered next semester- with the teachers I wanted. At this point in my college career, I am intellectually exhausted. The thought of doing two more semesters seems nearly unbearable, while one more semester, even with 5 literature classes, seems like a sacrifice that might be worth making. To graduate or not to graduate? That is the question. Right now I am enrolled in all 4 required classes, plus a soccer and flexibility class, just in case this is what I decide I want. The question also includes whether I shall finish my minor, or drop my minor? Ak. I dunno.

The Natural Look

Yesterday I abstained from makeup. I think this is the first day I have ever gone to school wearing not even a little makeup. And guess what?! I loved it! Ironically I felt prettier than usual. I met a friend in the quad in between classes. As she was walking towards me she shouted, "Mary! You're not blond anymore! You dyed your hair!" In response I chuckled quietly to myself and said, "No, actually I didn't. I didn't brush it today either." More than just this friend mistook my naked face for a change in hair color. Funny. I wonder if it is just because the eye makeup makes the contrast between my hair color and face more drastic?

All in all, this was a great abstinence exercise. I hope to do it more regularly. Also, I feel like I should admit that I only made it the whole DAY, not necessarily the night as well....
