Announcements

I wanted to make the, now late, announcement that one of my favorite bloggers is soon to be publishing a book. Allie at Hyperbole and a Half will be composing elements from her blog along with new stuff. The book is set to be released in the fall of 2012. I'm thoroughly anticipating its release and very excited for her.

In other news, I'm changing my hair color on a more drastic level. Currently, I've been blonde in the front, for nearly 3 weeks now. I wasn't planning to be blonde for this long at all, only a few days to a week tops. I needed to get rid of the faded colors from all the swimming I was doing. But my friend and many other people continued to compliment blonde a lot so I kept it longer. But now, as expected, I'm already bored with it and I'm a sucker for colored hair anyways. I am yet to describe the plan that is in action with my hair transformation. Once it is done with, I will document it. Either way, I'm excited for the new change. It's going to be fantastic for the upcoming 50's cocktail party next weekend. Oohhh it's going to be legendary. Here's some photos of the blonde.

This is definitely not the first time I've been blonde, however. This was the first time that I was ever blonde, and various other times. Yet it's different when I have the whole front around my face blonde. It's definitely a different effect, it brings out my face in some way I haven't seen before. It's actually quite hard to put my finger on it.

Moreover, I'm still in the nude when it comes to my jewelry. I still have my necklaces off, I took out 2 pairs of earrings and all the bracelets on my right arm. I'm at least keeping this way up til the cocktail party since my costume/outfit requires other accessories.

In other announcements. The grace period for my school loans ends next month, or precisely nearly 4 weeks from now. I need to apply for a deferment since I don't have the means to pay them, and I just found out that I can only apply for the deferment once my grace period ends. So that's a relief but also a little nerve wrecking at the same time. Here's why, I'm relieved because it's not too late to apply by any means which was a slight worry that was hanging over my head. I'm nervous because I will have to wait longer to find out if I get accepted for a deferment or not. If not, then it's that much sooner that I will have to pay up. Luckily, I'm going to start incorporating some new money saving activities [or lack thereof]. Such as not going out so much and I've been putting a portion of the money I earn away where I can't touch it. My monthly loan payments actually aren't bad, but I just don't have a steady income or really anything to even call an income. But I do think it's doable. Either way, I do need a real job really soon, for my unemployment extension will run out soon.
