Wow, it has been a while since I have given a proper update.
The past 6 months have just been a whirlwind of craziness. I've just had non-stop work in terms of school, French Honor Society, National Honor Society, the play, music concerts, AP exams, graduation! After graduation I had some friends from other countries visiting, so that was really busy as well. Plus I've got to go around and say goodbye to everyone - am leaving for Australia on the 18th! - and I've got to sort things out like my student visa, packing for Australia, getting courses, learning how to cook :| etc. So I have been really busy!
It's nice to get back into the long hair world, though, for more reasons than you may think. While trying to learn how to cook, I searched online for vegetarian recipes and found
VeggieBoards. It was very good in terms of recipes and tips on vegetarianism, and ... well, I don't know how to say this without sounding awfully rude, which is not my intention. I guess I was just so used to the friendly atmosphere on the Loom that I was a bit surprised to see people fighting and attacking each other over trivial issues. I am NOT saying that any of the members are "bad" or anything else. I am just saying that it reminded me how much I like being at the Loom
. There are two ways to make a point: the nice way, and the rude way that makes other people feel bad.
Anyway... back to hair. I haven't measured in ages - I think since the end of May! I am washing on Saturday morning, so I will try to remember to measure then.
Considering how busy I've been, I still had tons of time to read, for some reason! In June, I finished...
Lydia Cassatt Reading the Morning Paper
Three Black Skirts
(above two were from Olympia for Christmas
)
Family Matters by Rohinton Mistry
The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Haroun and the Sea of Stories by Salman Rushdie
Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden
Right now I am reading
The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy. I'm also reading a book on Raja Yoga by J. Donald Walters and have been doing yoga and meditating for almost 2 weeks now, every morning.
I've got some cousins who flew in from Pakistan, so I have to go take a shower and get ready this morning before I call them and make plans. I wonder what recipe I should try out today... I haven't cooked anything Indian in a while, so maybe I will today. Perhaps some paneer shahi (cottage cheese in mace-flavored tomato gravy)...
Love,
