Haiti, New Doo, & Tears

In one day my high school raised $900.00 for Haiti. That's in 1 day! Because of exams next week we're having a homeroom challenge for donating. Our goal is $1,400.00 by the end of the week, one dollar for every student at CCI. One of the teachers at my school announces on the announcements this morning that his little boy (who is in Senior Kindergarten) wanted to donate 1 dollar for every day of our 4 day homeroom challenge. I thought this was very inspiring for a little kid to want to help with Haiti. One of the girls in my class donated the most (in our class) by donating $20.00. I have yet to donate, I forgot my money at home but I do plan on donating, how much, I'm not sure of yet. But I will be donating something. Every little bit helps, right?

They need so much right now, that I kind of feel guilty. They have nothing right now, and I went and spent $95.00 0n my hair last night. I could have donated that 95.00 to Haiti instead of getting my hair coloured and cut. Even though I'm in LOVE with the outcome. This brings me back to one of my earlier posts. We take the fact we can go to the movies and what not for granted.

On a bit of happier note. I decided I would check my comment on my Myspace page and I noticed one from Katie Lawhorne... I'm happy to announce that the 4th Annual Phoenix Francis has a donation for our auction. So Thank you muchly Katie!

As I mentioned a little earlier, I got my hair did. And I love it. Before I had a blonde box dye on it (done in July) and you could see the roots and it was just a big ball of bleh. It's now a light brown with some dark brown chunks and blonde highlights and the style is really cool. I love it!!

Today in Writers Class, We had to create a collection for part of our exam and I decided to try something different and what I thought could be tricky, but it didn't turn out to bad. I created "Letter's to Mommy" which are letters from a CHD child's perspective (not any in particular). This brought my teacher (who is a male) into tears as he was marking it last night. I got 80% on it and I'm debating about posting it on JTF. Thoughts?

Anyways, I believe that this is a long enough post!
