Back in... Blue?

Okay so I have successfully gotten rid of the nasty orange stained hair on the bottom of my head :-). Last night, Emily came over for like 2 hours and did my hair for me, so yayy!

She started off dying the bottom ugly used-to-be-pink hair black. Ends up this black hair dye I got was actually a sort of blue black, so now my hair looks navy blue. I kind of like it though.

Then, we bleached random strands in the middle of my hair, with this really crappy bleach I don't ever want to use again -_-. We did like 3 sections, and I had it in for 50 minutes, until her mom pretty much said it wouldn't work any longer, and my hair was only like gold. So, I'll probably have to dye them really like blonde some time later, to get them to look platinum like I wanted. Then, we decided to try and bleach a random strand of Emily's hair, but it didn't really work xD and I guess it just ended up looking barely orange.

And the tips of my bleach on the left side of my face turned light blue, because of the dye we just used. It looks so silly x).

Overall, I think my hair looks pretty good. I haven't straightened it or anything yet, just kinda let if fall after I washed it, but I bet it'll looks even better if I do stuff to it. But, until school starts (waah) I probably won't do anything to it! Maybe I can dye it platinum before school starts. I'll google it!

Also, today I woke up at 6:15 to give my dad his birthday present, but he wasn't awake, since he sleeps in on Wednesdays. But, I did end up giving it to him at like 9 before he did leave :-). Even though it was a stupid Best Buy giftcard, he said he liked it. Then, I baked a carrot cake for him, and I'm probably going to ice it before I go to work (which is at 1:00 :-P). I really don't want to go to work. I hate it there -_-. And I'm tired.

Accomplished Goals:
1) Went to bed before 12 (although I had trouble falling asleep :-X)
2) Woke up before 9
3) It's not noon yet, but I'll be getting dressed after I post this!

Exhausting Myself

I've recently discovered how much I seem to exhaust myself. I used to blame work for my state of exhaustion, but now that I think about it, I'm the one who works 8 hours, then comes home and watches TV for a few hours, then spends even more time on the computer, until it's 2 am and I finally go to bed. Then I wake up and repeat the cycle! I've desperately been trying to break this habit of staying up too late, and waking up to late. I tried going to bed early last night, but I couldn't fall asleep until 1. Then, I didn't wake up until 10 today, because I just put my alarm on snooze...

I wake up so tired all the time, and I have no idea why! So I've decided to set some goals for myself.
1) Go to bed by 12, 1 am at the very very latest.
2) Wake up by 9 o clock at the latest.
3) Actually get dressed and stuff before noon everyday.
4) Get used to a normal schedule again, like eating breakfast and lunch at different times -_-

I know my overpowering will to sleep until the moon is out, my nocturnalism , will push my goals out of view, but I hope I can actually work this whole goals, and sleeping better thing out. School starts in 2 weeks, and I don't want to be this exhausted on the first day of hell.
