Hair Cut

So I just started feeling like my hair was too long. It has been taking me 10 to 15 minutes to brush. I don't have time to sit there and go through the pain, yes sometimes it hurts, of getting the knots out. My mom cut 10-11 inches off and I thought it was going to be really short but it isn't as short as I thought it would be. I think that because it is really dry it isn't curling as much as normal. It is about shoulder length now and I have to say I really like it. The real reason for cutting my hair on such short notice was because I was getting my visa and I wanted my picture to have hair similar to what it was going to be like in China. I was planning on getting it cut once I got there but I just sped up the process a little.

I went home after I was at the Rotary orientation. It was nice to go. The pond was frozen so we went skating. I haven't been skating on our pond since I was little. I think it was about 10 years ago. I don't really remember though. I thought I was really going to take a face plant or do something stupid like lean back and fall but it came back pretty fast. The ice wasn't that smooth around some of the edges but it was still nice. I forgot how skating can be a work out and even on our little pond it was more than I had anticipated. It was really fun skating. We skated in the morning and it was nice to be able to see what was what. Last night when we were skating I had a slight collision with a branch over hanging the pond.

Tonight was the holiday party at work. I didn't expect to have a good time but I did. It was nice to see everyone out of uniform and to get to know them better. I guess for me it was a little late as my last day at work is Sunday the 17th. A week from today. I'm pretty excited about going to China.
