"Oh Baldina..."
Okay so being bald is a very weird and unique experience. I dont' know if guys go through the same thing but apparently bald women are not that common. People try not to stare but I catch a lot of sideways glances and eyes quickly diverting elsewhere we make contact. I'm not really bothered by it but I do wonder what they are thinking. Do they wonder if I have cancer? Or maybe that I'm some sort of punk anarchist? Or maybe they think that I botched my last hair dying job so I just shaved my head to save myself the embarrassment! Who knows. I'm just really curious. If you have any genius ideas what people might be thinking let me know.

Seeing as my middle name is "Jenius"...in case you didn't catch it on Get the Signal, it is now...
Umm I don't really know why people stare...for me I find it kind of ignorant and annoying. And I mean, when people stare, and they start wondering, "I wonder why she has no hair", it seems like it's just...I don't know...I think I'm overreacting because of my mowhawk and nose ring days at Briercrest. Some people didn't react so well. Oh well, no one is perfect!
Blessings!
Hey I still have that room key, but I'll bring it back next time I'm at the school, so don't worry! You will get your Pez keychain back!

I'll tell you what they think...
They just automatically assume that while you were in Sri Lanka (because you've got a vibe and everyone who sees you knows that you've been overseas) you fell in love with the most amazing, hot, kind man who unfortunately had to become a buddhist monk because of family repsonsibilities...
because of the deep passion of your love, after realising that you might never see him again, you yourself decided to become a monk as well so you could follow him and convince him to come back to Canada with you... Of course, as you know, in order to masquerade as a monk, you would need to be bald, and that is why you now have no hair.
The reason people are staring is because, while they know you have done all this, they do not know the ending... they gaze at you and wonder if you found him, and if you did, did he remain loyal to his family and make you life a romantic tragedy, causing you to come back to Canada to get over your pain (even though it was true love and you will never truly get over him) or, if he declared his undying love for you, and you are now back in Canada, preparing for him to come to you in your homeland.
It's just a thought.

Maybe this experience can help you to relate better to those who don't have a choice but to be bald due to cancer or other reasons. You can't help but laugh at those who stare because you just confused the heck out of them...I think it was really awesome of you to shave your head for missions. Who knows maybe this will give you a chance to share the gospel with someone when they ask why you are bald.
