Hair update

I'm sure you remember the way my hair used to be (above).  But did you know that my hair can also do these things (below).  It's growing fast:

hair today, gone tomorrow (just kidding)

Cloudy with a chance of meatballs

Today I got to help teach the social skills class for kids with Autism for the second weekend in a row.  I also got to see Sara!  Class was really fun today and it went by very quickly.  We asked each other what our favorite movies were and we're social detectives in various scenarios.  And, the kids remembered me from last week despite my new hair cut:

Oh and I made the stuffed animal (his name's banana, not spongebob).

Plebe Makeover

Before and After shots:

Can I just exclaim here how awful the glasses that they make them wear during boot camp are? Okay, yes.  Those boot camp glasses are just awful!

Erm, it's pretty late (considering I woke up at five this morning) and I need to get ready for bed.  Agenda for tomorrow is breakfast with the grandparents in the morning and then college park for the remainder of the day and night (slumber party with Rachael) and then I'm heading back to camp on Friday.  I promise to write an actual entry about "I Day" as they call it (short for Induction Day, duh) at a later date.  Woo class of 2013!  I am suddenly surging with Naval Academy (soon to be Navy) pride.

Love,

Monica

P.S.  Today a USNA mom turned to me and said, "Do you have a son or a daughter here today?"  I said, plainly, "I have a brother."  The whole thing made me laugh out loud but, honestly now, do I really look like I could pass for a parent?  I mean, the other day I got carded when buying sparklers.  How can I look both too old and too young for myself, people?!

I'm having such fun looking at pictures of hair tonight instead of working on my thesis!
