Hair...loss...

Ever since I was about 14 or 15 I have had acne. It's taken me this long to get rid of it. I've tried EVERYTHING known to man to try and kill my acne, yet it is resilient stuff! Finally it seems to have been beaten into submission. Go Acutain! It's been 8 months but finally it's all gone!! Whoohoo!!

Now let me tell you about my love hate relationship with Acutaine. Love: It killed my acne Hate: It requires me to get my blood draw once a month (boo needles) my skin it super dry and nothing i do helps moisturize it, my hair is about half the size it used to be, and my eyes leak this weird white stuff.

The dry skin doesn't bother me that much. I'm itchy, oh well. The eye things is slightly more annoying but eye drops seem to help. Now what really is upsetting is that my hair is coming out by the mounds! Luckily, for all who know me, i have tons of hair to cushion this effect. I went to clean my room yesterday and i got so much hair off just my bathroom carpet that it could have made my brother a wig...sadly this is no exaggeration. And now time for a gross story!! I was washing my hair in the shower and i noticed that the drain wasn't draining so i saw a little bit of hair inside so i pulled. OH MY GOD! I kid you not i pulled out this thick piece of hair as long as my arm!! I was so grossed out! It made me think of the movie The Grudge for some odd reason.

But! This is my last dose of Acutain then i'm done! Hooray!! And thankfully my dermatologists said my hair should come back, which is nice to know.

Let's talk about school

I finally i have some time to stop and blog ( not really i'm just procrastinating).

So, a couple of weeks ago i went to see my counselor at Fullerton College and received some rather crushing news that almost destroyed me in one foul swoop. I discovered i was 18 units shy of the 60 you need to transfer. Now normally this would not have been such a huge deal if they had not closed spring transfer due to budget cuts and all the jazz. For all you people who don't know how the transfer process works let me take a moment and explain. If you apply in the fall you don't get notified that you are excepted into the school until about april-may, and then you attend whatever university the coming fall. I'm applying this semester (fall) so i would be excepted next semester (spring). Now i received the bad news that i dint have enough units to transfer now. This is a problem. Normally i would just apply in the spring instead but not they closed it so i would have to wait 2 years to transfer...which would be horrible!! So i'm stuck taking a winter intercession which is 2 weeks long and 15 units in the spring (one 5 unit, one 4 unit, and two 3 units) booooo. But, on the upside i went to Cal State Long Beach and talked to a counselor and the head of the Criminal Justice department and they said i should have no problem getting excepted if i can get all the 60 units! Yay!

Ok on to today. So, i'm taking this speech 105 class and we have a 4-5 page paper due in 2 weeks. No big deal right? Wrong. We have to "collect date" for our papers. Now this is what our data is supposed to consist of. We can either a) stare at someone in an elevator b) walk up to a random person and start a conversation with them c) complement somebody randomly d) or while talking to someone sniff and wink at them a lot. Now is it just me or is this really stupid on a lot of different levels? My solution to the problem. Lie. That's right i'm breaking one of the ten commandments, but i just can't do this. So, what i have decided to do is take something like this that has happened to me and reverse the roles. It's not a complete lie right? Just revised.

Ugh

Well i'm a terrible blogger. But it's not my fault i have absolutely no time whatsoever to do anything but school, work, and the mounds of homework i have this semester.

So school is ok i had my first speech in speech class and i rambled about serial killers. This was probably not a good idea on my part, people probably think 'm weird or a serial killer myself. Science class is a lot of work but we get to see random pictures or cute animals (like the Sandfox) and here interesting tails from out teacher (like how there is a pile of trash the size of Texas in the middle of the Pacific Ocean). History class is not that bad except there is this CRAZY girl in my class. My friend had her last semester and she almost assaulted her. She's nuts. She says the most awkward things. And she doesn't talk..she YELLS! She needs to learn to use her indoor voice. But i get to be creative this semester. I'm taking a ceramics class. I'm not very good, but it's still a lot of fun.

On to more fun interesting stuff. I recently got a volunteer job for the Brea Police Department! It's pretty sweet. Everybody is cool, and i got to meet Cliff the pot sniffing dog. Then i got to see/smell pot. Then cliff gave us a demonstration. It was pretty cool.
