several things happened to me yesterday which I thought were noteworthy.

one, I got my hair cut. I'd been thinking about getting my bangs back again for some time, but I thought it would be a much more premediated haircut. But no, I walked into the the place, and let the Asian guy with poor English skills but good hair style me some bangs. They look good, I think... I'm still getting used to them.

two, I gave change for the first time ever to a Seattle bum. I gave him a few quarters, and it looked like he had mainly pennies in his hands, so he seemed kinda surprised that I was giving him larger coins. Not that I think that was an enormous act of goodwill - actually, it's probably a lot worse that I hadn't given any homeless people any money up until then - but I thought it was worth mentioning. First time.

three, we started a cappella auditions. Three out of the five were good. Today was even better - we had two people that really impressed me. And this was just the guys... girls are next week. Callbacks will be REALLY fun. SOOO excited.

four, went to Cheesecake Factory with some of the CHS posse. Was a bit disappointed in my evening there, but whatcha gonna do. my cheesecake was good, at least.

As for today, there's not been a whole lot of new stuff. Ian's was out of the bubbles for the bubble tea, which I think they've had for about 24 hours now, so we'll see if my meal card can hold up against that temptation. Gotta have the bubbles, though. We held our American Century class outside, which was great - I felt less like falling asleep. (Why is it that I get so tired listening to one person talk, even when I'm not tired and I'm interested in the material? So annoying.)

more later!
