Hey everyone!
Once again, today is coming live from Parent-Teacher
Conferences! Yup, so as you can tell it is sooooo busy for me again. Granted it
is still in the morning but I’ve only seen one parent so far. And that was for
like a minute. So, to catch you all up on what I’ve been up to, read on:
On Friday, most of the building went to brunch
but I didn’t feel like paying 30BD for it again so I decided not to go. While
everyone was gone, I decided to spontaneously get my hair dyed. I didn’t tell
anyone I was going to go or that I was even considering it, I just kind of went
with the flow. I ended up spending a total of 6.5 hours at the salon because my
hair has changed greatly since I started living in Bahrain. Basically my hair
doesn’t take color quite as well as it used to so when the lady dyed my hair
the first time, she finished washing it out and drying it but then looked at me
and said, “You wanted darker didn’t you?” And I said yes. My hair was very much
like a strawberry blonde color on top because it didn’t take the color well at
all. You’d think that I was either a natural blonde or that she bleached my
hair first but she didn’t, that was just the way my hair decided to be. She
colored it again and when she finished, it was slightly darker but the top was
still too light for me. When I asked her about it, she said we could go much
darker than what we originally thought but she couldn’t do it then and it would
also be bad for my skin. I said the color was still too light and I wouldn’t be
able to handle it. So I ended up going home for like 2.5 hours before she asked
me to come back for the 3rd dye. She left the color in my hair for over
an hour and it was also a more purple-y color than I wanted but, at that point,
I just wanted it to be dark. It ended up looking really awesome when she was
finally done with it. At first it was pretty dark and slightly purple with some
purple-red highlights but today, it’s a little bit lighter because of the sun
and showers. I’ve gotten so many compliments and I really like it despite all
the trouble.
On Saturday I went for brunch at Saffron’s, the
really cheap and delicious restaurant in the souq, with Taylor, Alex, Kendall,
Kate, Mohamed, Nolan, and Tyler. We got to just sit and hangout for a few hours
before heading back for a laidback afternoon. Later on, Jess and I went to a
huge tournament that was taking place by the National Stadium. We didn’t have
jiu jitsu that day because of the tournament and a lot of our teammates were
involved in the jiu jitsu competition. We decided to go watch some but we also
got to walk around for a while. Although we only stayed for an hour, there was
a lot of stuff that we saw. They had had a Color Run earlier in the day, I
found a student who said he was involved in the triathlon portion of the day,
there was weightlifting, 3 on 3 basketball, MMA, parkour, etc. The best part
though was driving up and freaking out because I saw that there was Bubble
Soccer. Unfortunately, I could not play for 2 reasons: 1. I was not dressed for
playing (jeans) 2. It was only for kids. So we decided to be boring and watch
some teammates from jiu jitsu and then left.
Taylor’s boyfriend, Alex, left on Monday night.
That night, Jess and I decided that we should go to Mohamed Noor’s, the restaurant
with the true Middle Eastern feeling. We took both of our cars and ended up
eating a really awesome meal (of course) before returning. I stopped at Jess
and Taylor’s room to say goodbye to Alex and ended up fighting with him a
little bit-which he had been wanting to do since he found out I was in jiu
jitsu. He didn’t have the right idea for the sport (like most people) and so it
was just a little awkward. Soon after, however, Jess came out of her room and
fought him for a long time. I got lots of video as proof!
Since then there hasn’t been too much
happening. Conferences are today but I’ve only seen 2 parents as of now. I also
found out the other day that the senior Spring Break trip to China has been
postponed for whatever reason and I am still unsure if my London trip is
happening…in about a week now. Which is terrible. I’m hoping to find the lady
today to tell me. Otherwise classes have been running semi-smoothly. There’s
always a few bumps here and there. And I’ve also been rehearsing like crazy
with the Drama Club kids to prepare for the show in about a month. I’ve been
busy getting that prepared along with figuring out why I can’t invite parents
to the show. Two days after there is a Carnival school that sounds like a lot
of people attend and I will have to be here on a Saturday -_- I’ll live but I
just will be very busy for the next month. Alright, that’s all I have for you
guys. This is Ms. Lally reporting live from conferences, signing off!
