Wow.  It has been awhile since I updated this.  I don't know where to begin.... Well, I guess I could begin with getting my hair cut.  I was so scared.  I didn't know where to go or how my hair would look.  Plus there's the whole language barrier thing, so that complicated things even more.  I asked at school where I could go get my hair cut, and Chicca recommended this place to me.  I looked at Chicca and asked...
