I'm a little embarrassed about how long it has taken me to write another post. Over the last two weeks I've given myself one excuse for not taking the time to write - and that is finals. During the last week of January I worked hours studying for three days of grueling finals, and to be honest, and I didn't think much about this blog. I didn't even think much about not pulling my hair out. Like I said earlier, what's more important, my physics grade or my hair?

But I could go on forever using this same excuse. Grades are more important than hair. Soon, it'll be my college grades that are more important, my internships, my jobs, or my personal life. Yes, all of these things are significantly more important than hair, but soon I'll have to fess up and actually face the hair problem if I don't want to go the rest of my life without eyebrows.

I also have to realize this blog is not meant just to share my positive experiences. Every time I have a success story to share, I'll share it. But the same goes with the not so successful stories. I'll start with this one. All last week I did think about writing a lot, but I really wanted at least something to say that was positive. I didn't want to this blog to turn into just a girl whining about her problems. I woke up a lot of mornings thinking that I would go the whole day without pulling any hairs, only to forget about that idea the minute an urge to pull came over me. I'll be honest - that's always a let down. But I won't let it stop me from blogging anymore.

I do have some good news. I signed up for stoppulling.com. On the first day, it simply asked me to record any urges I had to pull, and how many hairs I pulled. This seemed a little silly to me, because I can usually remember that kind of stuff. But the second day I got to record that I pulled less than five hairs the entire day. I think that was because I was thinking about what I would have to record later. It's never fun to record that you pulled out 50 hairs in less than five minutes. So there is my success. I'll start the rest of my methods soon!
