Well I finally Gave in. After weeks of putting it off, complaining about how many assignments and how much study I had to do I finally did it.

I walked my little mushroom shaped head over to Vittorio's Downtown Barber Shop: Conviently Located a stone's throw away from my building.

I walked in and seconds later was greeted by a short shouting Italian man, "Colum! How is Engineering Treating you?" I shook his hand and sat down in the chair.

I have to say, I do enjoy going to my barber here. Our conversation resumed from much the same place it had left off: My dog Harley.

His scissors began to work their magic and soon I became Light Headed. About the same time that this feeling kicked in he changed the topic. "Wow, Colum you really did need a haircut."

I looked down. I was literally covered in hair. "Christ!" I thought. "How rediculous had I looked." I looked up to the mirror and my smiling answer was looking me in the face. "Yup. Pretty rediculous."

$15 dollars and a whole lot of local news later I stumbled out of the Barber shop, a weight literally lifted off of my shoulders. Well that was one item on my list taken care of; Now for number 2, to pass this term and get straight A's.
