I told myself I wouldn't cut my hair until I got an interview. It got very long (by my standards), and was up to about 4-5 inches in length. I couldn't keep going to work with that look (had to wear a baseball cap everyday) and my mom kept saying I looked like a girl in trying to convince me to cut my hair. It worked. I finally cut my hair on a Thursday afternoon. The next day, I received an invite! I'm starting a new ritual, but this time for anacceptance. Since I have to look presentable for possible interviews, I can't do anything related to physical appearance (like hair). Anyway, whatever I think of, it'll be the very first thing I'll be doing once I get accepted.
But in terms of splurging on myself, I would get myself a new mp3 player, something other than the iPOD...probably from Creative.
