To top it off, I seem to have completely lost interest in my analysis. I sort of think it's just my "flight" (as in fight or flight) response to the crazy stress of actually trying to write my disseration and finish everything in a near impossible amount of time. But I find myself coming up with every conceivable thing to do EXCEPT finish my analysis. Which is very very bad. Because in order to finish my degree I'll have to get the analysis approved by the collaboration, which is a long messy process. So I really should be doing that now. But I just can't make myself focus on it. I get bogged down in details, and whenever I try to step back and look at the big picture I get so overwhelmed that I just want to shut my eyes, put my fingers in my ears, and hum something soothing to myself to block it out.
On top of that we finally got some summer weather, but not nice mild summer weather. It went from months of temps in the 60s and raining to 90s. And there is no a/c here. So sitting at my computer (read: heater) is really the last thing I want to do.
In addition I haven't had a haircut in a very long time. Because of the ridiculous cost of getting a haircut here I was trying to go the let-it-grow route. But my hair grows crazy fast, and is super thick, heavy, and unruly. Plus I am not willing to spend 45 minutes taming it to something presentable each day. So it has started looking like I stuck my finger in the socket. That annoyance combined with the heat has made me want to chop it off again!
I was thinking something around chin length, like a bob with layers and sideswept bangs. I started searching around online for ideas and came across Dianna Agron's new haircut and I love it! I like how it can be straight and smooth, messy, or wavy and still looks good. Especially since I want to be able to just leave mine wavy sometimes and still look presentable. Here are some examples...thoughts?
