| Do it yourself haircut |
 |
| One night it was very hot in the dorm and I couldn't get to sleep. I kept tossing and turning, getting more and more irritated by the second. I ran my fingers through my hair in desperation. Suddenly I realized that now was the time to do what I've always wanted to do - Shave my head. I've always had a "normal" haircut for years. Shaving my head would be a very dramatic/drastic thing for me to do. So.. Gillete Mach 3 razor in hand, I walked up to Ramon and Mandy's room. |

| Ramon |
| Keys were always getting lost in the dormitory. |
| Some people-including me, could open their locked doors without a key!! |
| "I've decided to shave my head." I told Mandy and Ramon. The two laughed. "Whaat?? In the middle of the night?" "Put an MTV logo on it!! Put an MTV logo!!" They grabbed scissors and we walked off to one of the toilets. Ramon grabbed fistfuls of my hair and then cut it off with the scissors. The floor was soon littered with clumps of hair. |
| Mandy was laughing. "Oh shit, Martin! This is so funny!!" There was a mirror in the toilet and when I looked in it, I looked horrible!! I had bald spots where Ramon had cut unevenly. I looked like.... a mutant! I took up the razor, wetted my head with some water and began shaving. It was a bit tricky since I had to rely on feel and touch. |
 |
| No pets allowed in the dormitory, but i tried to keep a pet turtle in the sink! It died after 3 days. |
| Mandy insisted on shaving the back of head. He made a big M!! "M for MTV!!" he laughed as he and Ramon left. As soon as he left I shaved the M off and went to sleep. The next day everybody stared and I felt a bit self conscious but I got used to it. People in the dorm asked me why I did it and I said.. I did it coz I liked it!! They were surprised to discover that I did it in one of the old toilets and with only a pair of scissors and a razor!! After a while, a couple of guys began giving themselves do it yourself hair cuts too. Such a bunch of copycats!! |

| One day Peter went up to me and asked if I could shave his head. "I've heard that you shaved your head, Martin. Can you shave mine too?" Peter was younger than me but he was balding and he already had a very prominent widows peak. So I shaved his head and just for fun I gave him a little massage too, just like what real barbers would do. He liked it so much he asked me to do it for him every three days and he would pay me in snacks!! Woohoo!! |
