One year lociversary!!

Hey fam,

Yes it's finally here...my one year mark. I can't believe it's been that long. I was officially locked on November 15, 2008. I had to retighten so I'm a few days late. This mark is double special for me because of my locs being one year old and my third diy retightening. I haven't had too many mishaps with my sls except for accidentally chopping two of them in half. Yes!!!! I was so mad at myself. It was during my last retightening and I had tightened some strands of one loc to another. So I grabbed the scissors and tried to feel where I needed to cut with my fingers. I pressed down on the scissors and heard that horrifying sound. Yes the sound of hair being cut :-( I called my consultant like the next day and she told me to come in. She looked all through my head and couldn't find the chopped locs. So that made me feel a little better because at least it wasn't obvious.

Anyway there's been nothing too major other than that. Just usual stuff you know like locs trying to combine themselves. So now I am consciously trying to keep them seperated whenever I can. The retightening is still taking me three days which I'm not happy about. But hopefully the process will become quicker the more I do it. I feel so liberated and proud of myself. My hair still doesn't look like locs yet, but I realize everyone's hair has it's own journey and I wouldn't change anything that's happened along the way.

On a final note, I've been pretty busy with school and I guess it paid off. I was inducted into PTK (Phi Theta Kappa) on Friday Nov 20 which is the international honor society for community colleges. I'm going to visit my daddy for Thanksgiving weekend and I'm looking forward to a few days of rest and not thinking about school lol. Well I hope you'all have a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. Till next time babies!
