Okay so I took a bunch of pictures and they're not turning out all that well. My hair is so dark you can't see the layers in the pictures! 😱 Oh well - I'll post them on facebook later for anyone who's interested. (Canuck: no facebook right? I'll find a photo hosting site and post them then.)

Yup, I jumped onto the facebook bandwagon. I'll PM you the contact info...and anyone else who wants to be added. I'm really not a singing little rodent, btw 😉

Okay on a random note: Do any of your guys keep a really great personal planner? I know this might sound hard to believe but I'm more of a write it on scrap paper then lose the paper kind of girl. Shocking, I know. My best friend, who's a sucessful business type, says I should try out Franklin Covey or some system like that to get used to it before med school - so I'm not forgetting tests, labs, etc like I did in college. Any ideas/suggestions?

I'm totally old-school. I like to see my week laid out before me in one fell swoop. So rather than a PDA (or similar) I have a big 'ole appointment book. Helps me see things broken down hour by hour each week, get a feel for when I have *gasp* free time. Then I go all OCD/anal and use highlighters- orange, hospital work.. yellow, in class.... blue, an exam....

I get made fun of by some of my colleagues for doing it the pen/paper way, but I have to say- my appointment book has never crashed and all my info lost. 😉

Did I mention that I often wander around with the vague feeling like I should be somewhere, but not sure where? :laugh:

I started using Microsoft Outlook Calendar. I print in weekly view so it lays out my week ahead and it has a column for notes as well as plenty of room for daily notes.

LOL. I'm a phdcomics junkie. Jorge Cham (the creator) came to give a talk at our school. Is it nerdy to say that I was star struck? lol.

Pictures are up on facebook under haircut if anyone is interested. In case you're wondering why they're in black and white I was playing around with the features on my camera.

Not as short as I'd like to go eventually but still a decent first step. Nothing special.

I'm old school too. I don't think I'll like Google Calendar but I'll give it a shot. I love just about everything else at Google. Google reader has totally rocked my world 😉

Longer than I wanted it. Don't know if I'll go back to this girl. She seemed relucant to cut my hair off.

Reminds me of this one hairdresser who was almost wincing when she was cutting my hair. I could understand if I was chopping it all off, but it was just a trim! Very strange. Wrong profession for her I think

he's a whiz with color. he's happy to tell you about that, too. 🙄 mine was as dark as yours when we started this mess. I've been shades of blond highlights, red, deep deep chocolate brown, and everything in between. my hair's been caramel, butterscotch, honey, chocolate... all the good stuff! :laugh:


🙁 one of my pts just called me at 11:30. not doing well. might be time to go to the hospital. 🙁
