I've had an awesome day - an awesome weekend, in fact! And my internet on my computer works again! JOY!!! I'm so happy! And I finally have Windows XP rather than 2000, so I don't feel like I have a dinosaur for a computer anymore
.
Thursday:
After school I came home, relaxed, and studied. I had my hair in a braid all day because I was wearing a salwar kameez for Bengali New Year, and the braid seemed to fit the clothes. At 6 I went over to my friend's house to practise a piano duet that we are performing together next month. Then we went straight from there to another friend's house to watch a movie. I did my hair in a french braid - that is the easiest, most comfortable style when I am going to be lying down. It's better than leaving my hair down because there is less damage and my hair moves in one mass rather than having bits and pieces to deal with everywhere. We watched "Serving Sara" which was a cute movie, and then we went to Bella Italia where I had a great pasta for dinner. I got home at 10.30 or 11, studied some AP Chemistry, and had a nice long sleep!
Friday:
A little more hectic of a day, but nothing I can't handle
. I left my house at 11 for piano class. At 12.30, I went straight from piano class to school, where we had an AP Chem study group (we have a test on Monday on oxidation-reduction reactions!) Then, straight after that, I had to go to our school theatre for talent show auditions. I am accompanying 3 of my male friends who are singing "You Raise Me Up" - Esther is playing the piano accompaniment, while I am doing the violin. I got home at around 4, bellydanced, studied, and did my hair.
I boiled 3/4 cup of ACV with a pinch of cinnamon and a couple of teaspoons of espresso. When it had cooled, I mixed in an egg and a drop of cedarwood EO. It didn't change the scent, but I used it more for its goodness than its smell. I piled that onto my dry hair, put on a couple of shower caps (this is a very drippy mixture!) and left it on while I bellydanced. I washed it out in my shower later, but didn't shampoo or condition. After squeezing all of the water out, I put a veeeeery thin coating of Lush Arabian Bright on my length and ends. I was SICK of two weeks of overconditioned hair. My hair just cannot handle too much conditioner. I put on enough to barely coat the hair, and after I was done, it looked like I just had wet hair with nothing on it. I think that is the way I will have to use conditioner from now on, rather than putting on handfuls at a time
. Hey, it's more economical this way, even if I
do have to learn a new washing method!
I left that on overnight, and rinsed out this morning. Even though it was washed 8 hours ago, it still hasn't dried because I had to put it up damp when I went out to teach Saturday School. I came home an hour ago and took it down to teach my two piano students, and it still hasn't quite dried. I am HOPING that it isn't overconditioned this time.
After my 3 students today (2 piano and 1 vocal) I am going to take a teaching break and do some studying
. I am going to review a little more for my AP Chem test. I think I'll review bonding today - that was one chapter I didn't have difficulty with learning, so I'm hoping reviewing won't be too difficult either. Then I'll relax a little - goodness knows I need it! - and take my "pretty bath" with all my face masks and other fun things.
Whew! This was a long entry. But it's so nice to be back typing on MY keyboard, on MY computer! YAYYYY!
Love,
