baldy

so i actually shaved my head today!! i cut off the braids that were left and then cut off the hair in the back where i'd pulled the braids off. it was a funny process, and feels great, but still looks kind of silly because my hair is in little clumps where the braids were. you'll see what i mean when i get the pictures, and hopefully video up online. in other news, i 'assassinated' my first target this morning in the game we're playing, but it took me like a half hour to do, because for some reason my hands start shaking whenever i attempted to kill her....so i guess in real life i couldn't kill a person? at least not for no good reason. it's a good thing all i had to do was clip her with a clothespin then. the other really exciting thing that happened today was I went to one of the nearby schools and finally sort of have a trumpet thing set up. i brought one with me to try to teach kids how to play, and i'm still not exactly sure what i'm going to do, but school only started up for them last week, and I practiced today and printed off some basic sheet music, and basically am just excited to have another fun activity, because my other community service activity is not going so well, just because there hasn't been much to do. But i'm going there tomorrow with renewed hope and i'll try to push forward and just get my own thing going. that's at the west africa aids foundation. i'll write more on that when there is stuff to write. now i think i'm just going to try to knit a bit, play with my very short hair, and maybe try to call my old roomie again to wish her a happy bday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANDINI!! goodnight to the rest of you all! ps. if you want a funny image of what my head sort of looks like, my roomie here says i look like the creepy doll in toy story that the evil kid had cut all the hair off of. anyway. good night~
