hi! i'm sorry i just came in started posting without introducing myself.. i haven't used many forums before, and most of them don't care whether u introduce urself or not.. so here goes!  i'm a sophomore engineering student. i'm interested in just about everything, but makeup and hair are obsessions of mine... not much more to say about moi, i don't do anything special; i spend most of my time either with my boyfriend, or studying, or with family/friends, and let me tell ya that if u study engineering u don't have much time for anything else really... it's a stressful life most of the time for me, but i still care for my looks  attached are pictures of my hair.. it's wavy these days, but i used to straighten it.. if i find a pic of that i'll post it as well   my hair doesn't look all that great in either pic (although in real life it looks similar to the 1st pic), but i just wanted to give u an idea of what i'm referring to :) cheers! |

oh forgot to mention.. for those of u who like horses (as i read in Vlad's thread), a lot of horseriders tell me my hair resembles horsehair (in texture, thickness)... i think that should help in giving u a feel of what my hair is like

I thought mine was a pain too, until it was gone.....now I appreciate it so much more than before.  And actually, I'm finding it's more of a pain short.  Can't win for losing (literally! LOL)

Welcome, Caramel! People have told me the same thing about my hair...not the texture, but the thickness...my brother teases me sometimes (in fun!) and says something about my horse tail and whatnot. I guess because it is so thick and long! ------------- RANITA~~ ----------- What good is life without a horse??!!! |

Anais-- thanks so much! i absolutely love ur hair... btw, pretty name, does it mean anything? it reminds me of that perfume anais anais missrini-- thanks for the compliments .. i really like the color and texture of ur hair as well.. i thought it was really *unique* in how it's so naturally definedhorselover-- thanks for the sweet welcome ... yeah it's probably b/c of its thickness and length.. having horse hair texture isn't so great b/c the "hair" itself is thick, and the "hairs" all together are also thick, so it's quite a hassle to take care of.. but i like it  |

Anais (or more accurately Anaïs), is Provençal or Catalan for "Anna". Sorry if the special characters don't show up on your screen... There are two dots over the i. It's Anais after Anais Nin. Thanks Caramel Anais ------------- http://anaissatin.livejournal.com"> my LJ , 40 inches long

hello, Dave it's very sweet of u to welcome me, even if it's late, i appreciate it. and yes, engineering is crazy! we had one prof state on the syllabus "Note: If you work full-time try to lower it down to part-time only because the amount of work I will assign in this course will be equivalent to a part-time job." i was like wow, what a warm and fuzzy feeling ------------- |

Don't you just love professors
like that? My experiences with them: you work very hard,
you learn a lot, and then you get a poor (but passing) grade.

Man...that sounds so much like Science! I had the most contact hours out of any of my friends (in other degrees) and used to have pracs that would go for 6 hours!! I know this is way off topic (sorry Dave!)....but there used to be a certain perception of "enjees" (engineering students) about how they could always be found in the Uni Bar on any given day. Maybe it's just an Aussie thing? Good luck with your studies! -------------

Dave: exactly! and whenever we complain about that, they calmly state "well u'll be graduating and starting a job for $60K, while other majors' starting salaries are well below that" and we're just like uhha of course lol missrini: i'm not really sure what the "uni bar" is , but if i got it right, it's true.. we're constantly studying. i attend a more "liberal" university, but engineering students are not graduates of this "liberal" university only, we get a dual degree from this one and another (really really really) tough one.. so while other students are out on the quad sun-bathing, playing frisbee, running around with their dogs; we're stuck in our engineering computer labs on the third floor (where two of them don't even have windows) doing homework hour after hour after hour after hour.. u get the idea ... sorry for the long reply, but i had to vent some lol (i feel sorry for my bf having to listen to this regularly)------------- |

LOL Caramel....the Uni (University) Bar is..um...a pub  . It's where ppl go to drink alcohol and listen to bands. The "enjees" used to have a reputation for drinking LOTS and partying hard. I guess it really IS an Aussie thing -------------

lol oops i thought u were referring to the universiity lounge area or something.. a lot of us do party pretty hard, but when we actually have the time for it :D ... as for me, it's just studying, bf, friends, and family.. and me of course .. don't even have time for my car anymore

Very nice hair! Hmmm, I remember having thicker longer hair when I was younger(like you). But since I'm 35yrs(and Proud of it!) my hair is thinner, and it looks better shorter, medium short. Congrats on being smart too! I wish I had the dedication to be a college student. Those days are over(maybe for me). I'm semi retired, but I keep busy.
------------- God Bless,... Katie |

hi Katie first of all, thank you! and second, i don't necessarily consider myself (or any college student) smart just b/c i attend college.. it's just that i have the energy/drive to learn/study more... it's a personality thing i guess, u probably wouldn't have been happy living life my way, or u would have chosen it already ... congrats to u on the accomplishment of being satisfied with ur current status, i think stability is a huge accomplishment------------- |

It´s not just a aussie thing missrini, the students in the UK definitely have a reputation for speniding the majority of their time in pubs and bars!

i never drink either. i think engineering students probably drink so much so they can temporarily forget the horrors of our studies.. it's impossible to finish my concentration in 4 years.. we've only had one girl do it, and she ended up in some mental institute, literally.. she was stressing out too much and i think she developed some kind of mild paranoia.. true story! ------------- |
