hair cut
After much searching, I finally found a place to cut my hair. For some reason, no one that I know gets their hair cut in Christchurch, they all wait until they go home, so I was forced to the yellow pages. I went to a place called shapers, retro store with no other customers and only one lady cutting hair... yeah... As she's snipping at my hair she made the comment, "good news for you, curls are coming back in style.." I apparently have been unaware that for the past 20 years of my life, my hair has not been in style, according to that comment. Glad to hear there's a chance that I can be cool someday. Anyway, it was successful and my hair once again is manageable. I know you all really care. :)
The weather is finally increasingly getting colder. We've had a lot of rain, some sunshine, clouds and any other weather imaginable- hail, sleet, snow on the hills. No wonder everyone is sick. Pray for Steph though, not only is she sick, but she's had problems with her eyes since February and they can't find medication. Her mom called yesterday telling us there's a fungal infection in Asia and spreading a little in Europe and the US. Apparently it's hard to detect and if you don't catch it in time you have to have your corneas replaced. She's spent 7 weeks in Asia and has all the symptoms that the internet and papers are saying, but the doctor here won't test for fungal infection because you can't get it in New Zealand, not the proper breeding environment, and won't listen on account that Steph lives in Asia. Anyway, pray that she'll get help and figure out what's wrong soon.
My last labs are this week- crazy how things are already starting to wrap up. Kath and I baked at Shannelle's last night, the house we're "taking care of". We baked banana bread and took some to the neighbors, they love us now. We used these bananas that I had bought weeks ago, already old. Yeah, they were disgusting, could have thought they fermented from the smell.. haha, but the older the better my mom says (I hope.. it tasted good). Alright, on to reading my lab manual for tonight. bye!
