Haaaaaiiiii!!! (No, Peter, I don't mean 'shark'... ;))

Saturday, yay! I woke up at 10, stumbled to the bathroom, and then dropped right back down into my warm bed again... until 13.00. Now I'm perky and happy, and you know what? The days are getting longer. No, I'm not just imagining it, they really truly are! When I wake up to go to my early classes, it's already sort of light out, and it's now 17.15 and it's only JUST beginning to get dark.

That translation of Sleeping Beauty is so much fun. I'm putting it off, not because it's hard, but because I don't want it to end. I like it. It's a satirical analysis of the story, so it's a funny piece to read and so the challenge is making it just as funny in another language. Fun fun fun!!! (No sarcasm intended there, for once.)

And - I cut my hair. Yes, you read that right - I didn't 'get my hair cut', I cut my hair. Don't freak out, Mom - it actually looks good. I just felt like a change, so I gave myself a general trim and then gave myself bangs. Here is a pic; see what you think...???

Okay, Tristan will be here in a couple of hours... I guess I'll start putting away these clothes which are (still) hanging on the drying racks...
