Yay! Another sucess! I went to the hairdressers today, and i was incredibly scared. Mostly probably because it was a different one than i usually go to (it was recommended by a friend), so i didn't know any of the people. Also, i was nervous because i decided to get my lovely long curly locks totally chopped off and straightened - i was scared that it might look really stupid. But i went ahead with it any way (and i dragged my mum along for moral support!)
But it was really great! Like, one of those rare and wonderful occasions where nothing goes wrong to fuel your anxiety. The stylists were really friendly - i even started chatting to some of them. And - shock - i even had the confidence to chat with the really cute assitant guy! I'm proud of myself - this whole thing is a huge deal to me, a real success. And my hair looks really great, too!
Also, and i'm really pushing the boat out here, i've bought tickets to a concert - a classical concert (one of the Proms in London). I'm bringing my dad with me (my parents are like "safety people" - i always feel a lot less anxious if one of them is around, and i know that's very childish, but i can't help it) It's in September, so i've got a little while to worry about it yet, but i am quite excited, too. I know i'll be a complete nervous wreck on the day, but i'll post to say how it goes!
