Thought I'd update you after my last blog post...I've been to see the head and she was really nice and said she's going to breif the staff properly at the next meeting. She even said that if I wanted to shave it i could and i wouldn't have any opposition from any of the staff...and even my mum's come round to it!! we're gonna do it tomorrow morning!!

This was an excuse given by one of my 'so-called' friends who said (in a round about way) she would no longer hang out with me if I shaved my head. To be fair I don't really care because she's a bit of a b***h and I hate her. (now)
