Thursday, November 10

There's a new hairstyle that seems to becoming popular with boys: the front is very long and thick and the back is trimmed quite short.  It's almost like a reverse mullet.  It might look alright in the mirror but, to an onlooker who can see the back and sides, it seems strangely unbalanced.  And, it's a particular problem when you're writing.

Tilting the head forward makes the long bits flop over the face.  There's one fellow in today's exam room who is having to deal with this problem.  Frequently, he has to push the hair back so that it doesn't cover his eyes when he's writing.  I timed how often he pushed it back; it varied from as little as 5-second intervals, to 41 seconds. Guessing that he pushed it back an average of about every 30 seconds, that's 120 times per hour and 360 times in a three-hour exam.  What a distraction and what waste of energy!

If you have any sense of vanity, you would realise that this hairdo is not a good look bit what do I know?
