The fire is now just some banked coals

1. I am almost done with my grad class. Whew. I might finish it today, but even if I don't, I no longer have a sense of urgency. It is 90% complete, and I am very satisfied with it. I will import the other two classes I'm teaching from their last two iterations on Friday, make the necessary revisions and be ready to go when classes start next Wednesday. And have some breathing room without having to kill myself over this weekend and the beginning of next week. *takes a bow*

2. I thought I had a meeting today at our campus an hour away and double checked the building location right before I left only to discover I had written it down incorrectly and it's tomorrow! Thank goodness I checked. I would have been so pissed if I had driven an hour there and back for nothing.

3. Also glad because I tried some new products on my hair and I tried diffusing it right side up instead of upside down, and it's all wavy instead of curly. I am major disappoint. I know you're not supposed to wash your hair frequently, but I'm totally washing it tomorrow and starting over because this is incredibly lackluster. I think I weighed it down with a hair mask I tried this morning. *sigh* I am very ready to skip to the part where I have practiced a bunch and know how to make this hair look awesome without thinking about it.

Yay for having your class nearly ready to go! (Wait, you start classes the first full week of August?!!!)

Yikes, it is a good thing you double-checked! That would've been really annoying.

Good luck with the practice!

Try washing out the product with a trustworthy conditioner (instead of shampoo) to avoid stripping out too many oils from your hair? It's called "co-washing" in natural hair circles.

*applauds*

Good luck getting your hair care sorted! It must be such a dramatic change to adjust to!

Oh, hurray for a little time off before next week. (And omg the semester begins so soon!!!)

I am very much enjoying your curly-hair journey ♥

Congratulations hon.

One must be careful about what you put in your hair. Always ask your hairdresser what she would recommend that won't weigh it down. Being able to do your hair without thinking about it will come with time. You haven't had the doo that long so have patients grasshopper. LOL

Yay for your class being done! That's great! And I'm glad you checked, driving that much can't be good for you. I hope your hair does what you want it to do!

i wish nice hair was effortless. i have straight, fine hair that i never bother with because of all the time (& money) involved.
on the (slightly) bright side i accidentally found out that my shorter summer haircut (roughly mid-neck length) makes my hair look fuller.
