dear diary,

i got it together enough to clean up and unpack and spray the air neutralizer so i'm feeling like i'm home finally for the first time in four days.

i have a final tonight in american history that i haven't studied for, and i'm wondering how people live with fake nails for more than one week. they actually hurt now and i want to rip them off but apparently there is a whole procedure for removing them.

they're very short and they look natural but i know the truth. it's the first unatural thing i think i've ever done to myself. what's next, fake tans?

i've been thinking about trying to quit smoking.

that's not a commitment by any measure but the fact that i'm thinking about it says something. or is it irony that there is a smoke shoppe opening up 1 block from the house?

i'm this close to feeling normal again. showers help.

waxing - waning
