Colorful Hair Inspiration

I've never dyed my hair an fun color, but I've always loved looking at people who do. Lately, for spring and summer, I've been considering dying a few pieces of hair a pale lavender or pink. What better time than when I'm young and when it's warm, right? And the office I work at isn't that conversative, so it's not a big deal.

Rainbow hair!

Outfit: Move Over, New Yorker Walking Here

As a New Yorker, it still amazes me and makes me laugh a little how easily New Yorkers meader around each other so easily. Seriously, next time you go to the Big Apple just stop and watch. People here walk rush around each other without a thought. I know that I have this skill -- it's like I can anticipate what others are going to do (except for non-New Yorkers! What are they doing?!) -- but it still makes me laugh.

And I love how we barely bat an eye at weird stuff. I was walking to the M96 bus and saw a man digging in the trash. And I was like, eh, whatever, I hope he finds something good.

Life Lately

As you know, this week I had to take either the Metro-North and a bus, or two buses and a subway to get to school. If someone's creating a teleportation device, I would like them to hurry up and finish it already. In case you need proof of my journeying to school and back...

On Monday I had a bit of car trouble. When I tried to turn the car on at 8:30 in the morning to go to work, it wouldn't start all the way. It made a lot of noise, but not the one I wanted to hear. I thought it was the battery since it had died a couple of weeks ago when I left the lights on during class (oops).

I have a car charger, but ironcially it wasn't charged. But I tried it anyway and it worked, so I started driving, but only two minutes later the check engine light went on and the car wouldn't go faster than 5 mph. I pulled over and accidentally took the key out of the ingnition. I still hate myself for making that dumb mistake because I knew it wouldn't start again, and what do you know, it didn't.

I tried the car charger again. Someone pulled over to charge my car with jumper cables. Neither worked. So I had to wait for a tow truck to bring the car back to my house. Then my mom had to come get me to drive me to work (we work at the same place, but I need my car to drive to school). Instead, my dad picked me up and drove me to school.

So this week I'm taking a combination of the Metro-North, a bus, and a subway to school, depending on whether I'm a home or work. Hopefully my car will be fixed soon!

Since my car is a 1990 Acura Integra, I'm going to dream of a shiny, new car...
