meitantei_cjI was home today (as was Rani, Carl, and Fofie, haha... I checked my work e-mail to see if anyone else was out), and got tired of waiting until my Wednesday hair appointment, so I washed my hair myself. The problem with that was, while my head felt SO good being clean and fresh, it didn't really look good because I refused to put heat to it. So, at around 2:30, I went out to downtown Brooklyn to a braiding salon and got cornrows put in. I'm going to keep them in and get them fixed up for a few months, until I have a decent amount of growth/untreated hair, and see where I go from there. The good thing is, they do locks, so I can keep going there throughout the whole process. Oh, also, the cornrows only cost me $60. ^____^ I was so thrilled I actually gave them an extra $20. (Last time I got cornrows around there was at the place I used to go to while I still worked in the area, and they started to price-gouge when I mentioned my promotion. They're not there anymore, and I wouldn't have gone to them anyway.)
Mom told Craig about a BBQ place opening up near us at the house and said he should apply. He doesn't have a resume, so he'd need something about himself. She gave that to him yesterday before he and Dad went back home. Craig actually took the initiative and went to a teacher to ask for a general outline and guidance on how to write it. Also, a teacher there said he'll write Craig a recommendation for Bloomsburg University in Pittsburg. No culinary program, but cheap tuition (especially since Craig's a PA resident... but even for non-residents, the tuition's about $7,000 a semester, which really isn't bad), and lots of other options. And he'd have a recommendation. And Mom said she thinks there's another teacher that would do the same for him, though probably not for any particular school. The teachers there know he's a smart kid, and pretty much everyone likes him up there. He's just lazy... and one day, it'll click, and he'll do everything. Actually, maybe this can be the start.
So yeah, for doing something good for himself, I'm proud of my kid brother. ^_^
