I never change things that much. Change is tough. This past year or so, though, I've had a ton of it.I went back to school.
I lost people important to me.
I've got a new niece, whom I haven't yet met.
The list goes on.
So maybe the new hairdo isn't a big deal. But it feels like it. I don't ever do anything too drastic with my hair, so for me the bangs are a big deal. The response has been positive. I'm adjusting though and in typical fashion, I wonder whether I look older or less attractive. Why this would matter, I'm not sure. I don't really need to impress anyone. Still, it's nice to feel pretty.
To the next topic (not much of a segue, I apologize): Valentine's Day. Why is this holiday a big deal? I'm not saying that in an upset or lonely way. Even when I've been attached (it occurs to me what a dumb saying that is), I've not cared about this "holiday" since high school. There are plenty of official and everyday reasons to get cards or gifts. Those are more fun, I think. And my dad used to send flowers to me on Valentine's Day, which I always thought was really cute.
To the single and the coupled alike, don't fret about this Thursday. We're all loved year-round. Even if you get no presents or a crummy one, it's not like Christmas. THAT'S a legitimate time to get upset about loneliness or lame gifts. ;o)
Lastly, for now, a school mini-update. There's still lots of faculty tearing us down. Lots of self-doubt. Lots of wondering whether this is worth the tuition. But I've had some successes. I'm trying to build on those.
One of my latest projects was legalzoom.com. Get it? Ha ha ha ha. Give the lawyer a product that produces legal documents on the internet. I endured my professor's rant about how all lawyers are a$$holes. They make you wait. They think they're better than you. Funny thing is that this describes the professor better than most of the lawyers I know.
Maybe instead of an advertising career, I'll launch an internet program to teach copywriting. If I patent it with legalzoom.com, I'll save thousands.
