About to do something drastic

Today, I'm going to get my hair cut at a place that's not a barber shop, for the first time in about 3 years. Kelly made me an appointment with her hairstylist, up near her folks' house (we'll stop by and visit them too, which is always fun). I'm currently feeling very anxious about this. Fortunately, it's just hair and it grows back.

I've been wearing my hair pretty much the same way for the past 2-3 years (with a few short breaks for buzz cuts) and I sort of felt like I needed a change. I'm really frustrated with my appearance lately. I'm having trouble finding suitably androgynous clothes that fit, because clothing designed for women is invariably too short and clothing designed for men is usually huge in the back and shoulders. So I've grown my hair to an outrageously long length (in the back it almost reaches my shirt collar) and we're going to see what can be done with it.

Must find motivation...

I have a programming assignment due on Wednesday for the class I'm taking, and I have absolutely no motivation to work on it. It's awful. I'm usually so not like that. I will get most of it done tomorrow, though, or I'm going to be in big trouble.

In other news, the haircut turned out well and was not at all traumatic. We got to hang out with Kelly's family also, and stopped by a local apple orchard for cider and donuts. And all the leaves are changing colors, so it was a really pleasant day to be driving around.
