Shaved my head all by myself for the first time this weekend.

I know, it's a tragedy, everyone likes me better with long hair, etc. It's just so much easier this way: I even feel better. Smarter. Faster.

(As always.)

There are some lingering doubts that I've somehow messed up the hair on the back of my head — I was using a mirror, and no one here has mentioned anything, but even with other people shaving my head I ended up with a bald spot back there more than once.

I haven't had my head shaved since my parents visited at the end of August, and timewise this is probably the longest I've let it grow out in years. So far though, the only reaction I've noticed was some bemused looks from this guy in my biography class who also shaves his head — no one here has seen my hair like this so he probably thinks I'm copying him.

Oh, and with this haircut I've officially started saving money by owning my own haircut kit. Or put more concisely:

And it was free. Freeeeeeeee!
