oh shit. Realized that today probably wasn't the best day to post the "omgerz i'm leaving!" message--but I assure you, it wasn't an April Fools day trick. No, I already got my fair share of pranks--the yearly Harry Potter message board hoax, plus dumping two containers of bubble bath into a Georgetown fountain and watching it foam like mad.

In other news, as indicated by the previous post, I have now shaved my head completely. I'd picspam you all, but I didn't bring my camera home with me. Photos on Sunday, then, or whenever I get around to it. I'm going to let it grow out until it becomes a hassle to deal with again. Might leave it short, might let it get androgynous, who knows. Going to dye it black again once it gets long enough, maybe with red highlights. There's a lot I want to change about my appearance right now, and my hair was just the easiest target. Once I get a job and can do it on my own money, I think I'll get some piercings, maybe a tat. Easy superficial stuff so I don't have to worry about anything deeper.

Time's the key commodity, I guess. I can only get a job if I have enough free time. But if I have enough free time I also want to do a lot more music lessons, some independent language study, another musical, more gym stuff... argh. And semester after next I want to study in Berlin, and I just want to do everything NOW, but I don't have enough time to devote to all of it. Plus this semester I'm killing myself with advanced-level liberal arts type classes--next year it's straight back to science and languages, I swear it. And I don't want to stay at Simon's Rock for my BA but I don't know where to transfer, and even if I did I'd have to stay an extra semester to get all my credit shit out of the way. I don't know what to do with myself--I have all these short-term goals that I want to accomplish this instant, but nothing in the long term. All these limited things I'm good at, but nothing practical and nothing broad enough to make a career track out of it. I love science but hate math, love learning languages and etymology but am so not interested in other branches of linguistics and culture, love music but can't fathom taking it academically. Want to spend all summer traveling through Europe, but I also want to get a summer job and try making my own money for once. Well, that at least I can split: May and June traveling, then July and August maybe working midnight shift in a 24-hour store or something. Which means money, an excuse to be nocturnal, and a job that doesn't involve dealing with lots of people, all of which are fine by me. And I also want to have my own flat or just rent a room in town or something next semester, but only juniors and seniors are allowed to live off-campus so I'll probably end up with a single in Hill House or something. Gah, I hate dorm kitchens.

My head is shiny. o_O
