The Haircut

August 14, 2006 @ 9:34 am | Listen to this post

Yesterday was a big day for me. Jeong-in took me to Edae (Ewha Women’s University) area which is known for it’s many hair salons because I was going on a month without a haircut. It was getting out of control. I really didn’t care what style to cut it, but every barber wants to thin my hair with those thinning scissors. I know my hair is thick, but after about an hour of thinning my hair, I had a poofy little boys haircut. I thought maybe I could give it a little more style with pomade, but that just made it worse and then I had a small afro. One positive thing I did get out of it was a killer hair wash. Oh my god, I never knew I had so many pressure points on my head until I got my hair washed.

Also, yesterday I met with Jeong-in’s friend Eun-kyeong. Her best friend since high school who wanted her to go to New Zealand. We spent the whole afternoon chatting and hanging out. But I could also tell she was checking me out to make sure I passed the test. We got along well and I think I passed the test, but I felt bad just because of how Jeong-in basically chose me over her best friend. I don’t know what the future holds, but everyday it’s looking better and better.

This Tuesday is a Korean holiday which means no work. The girlfriend has setup another get together with her friends, but this time it will be like 2 or 3 couples. I’m excited to meet all her friends.
