Dobs yeah it’s definitely very “girl power”, I just didn’t think it was “too girl power” like SO did. I quite liked the girl power aspect and didn’t find it to be too much. I’m a feminist (like, dictionary definition, not a misandrist) and I kinda don’t give a f*** who I piss off by believing in equality either, so cool with me if she’s that way, as long as she’s an actual feminist and not one of the misandrists calling themselves feminists. I could say a lot on that topic but I don’t want to go on a rampage lol. I agree that the movie was slow and kinda boring at times. It also seemed a little disorganized. I expected something more fast paced and with more depth. That said, I enjoyed watching it. It was a nice feel-good movie for me.
Re: school, the reason they require the review if you score under an 80 is because you have to get an 80 in the class to pass, so an exam grade under an 80 is considered a failing grade, basically. I think it’s unnecesary if your overall grade is above an 80 but it’s being proactive like you said. You do also have to meet with your instructor if your overall grade falls below an 80. They have to have a strict cutoff because otherwise people would be like “I only failed by this much” and stretch it super far down to like 78, 77, etc. and then when do you stop making allowances? I’m sure you understand exactly what I mean since you’re a teacher, I can’t see you making many allowances lol, I definitely see you as a strict limit setter kind of teacher (not in a negative way). Anyway, I scheduled my review for tomorrow after lunch, I wanna get it over with. The reviews are only 30 minutes and they’re only 4 students at a time. Not sure exactly what to expect, hopefully it’ll go well.
CB oh no, I’m sorry you’re sick! That sounds miserable. So glad the older kids got to go swimming, though!
AFM I dyed my hair with dark ash blonde color straight on top of my red hair today (slightly impulsively). The top still has some red tones in it but it’s not like orange or anything. I’m gonna get some blue shampoo to help neutralize it. It’s hard to find blue shampoo in stores, they seem to just have purple shampoo for bleach blondes. Anyway, it’s pretty close to my natural hair color so hopefully my roots will be barely noticeable when they grow out. If I can get the red tones out with the blue shampoo it’ll make it less noticeable cuz there’s still a tone difference between my roots that were growing out and where the red started. I’ll have to see how the hair color stays or fades or whatever, hopefully I’ll just be able to let my hair grow out naturally from here but it might need one more dye job on top after a month or so. Then I’d love to get balayage but that costs much more money than my usual box dye so we’ll see.
My initial reaction when my hair dried was that I missed the red and wanted it back immediately. I really think red hair gives me a bit of a visual spark. But I can take time to get used to a new hair color, so I’m giving myself some time. I’m already starting to warm up to it a little. When I look in the mirror it really reminds me of me, like it’s my natural way of being. Too bad my hair couldn’t be naturally red lol, cuz it definitely suits me. But I want to be able to not dye my hair all the time, I wanna just let it grow out and be natural. I’m fine with throwing a balayage on top cuz that’s lower maintenance than dyeing it or getting regular highlights. They can do it so it grows out looking more natural. Anyway, I need to stop typing and just hit post.
and DH plans to go back 1st or 2nd week of April. I'll be having one of our parents helping some the first 3 weeks of April though.
