10-months Post Relaxer

Hi all!

I'm officially a University of California, Riverside alumnus. It feels so strange!

I wore a straw set  to the ceremony (surprise!)  

I had to practice getting the damn mortarboard hat to stay put, but it ended up working out.

I didn't even get "hat hair!" =)

It's been ten months since my last relaxer and my hair has grown a lot.

I gauge it's length by how many "dips" or "waves" I can count.

I'm not ready to lose so much length yet, and I don't really have a plan on when I'm thinking of doing the Big Chop. So for now, I'm just waiting it out, straw setting and getting excited about the progress.

In other news: My boyfriend's parents are flying in to CA from Maryland and they have a lot planned for us.

So this coming week, I'll be with them at their time share on a (much needed) mini-vacation!

Look for twitter updates on that. =)

That's all for now!

Happy first week of Summer!
