May 19 - Day #77
Dear Diary,
I finally am done with final exams! Freshman year is done! Me and a few friends are going out for drinks to celebrate. Will included. Somehow that bastard managed to finish everything 1 full week before me. Anyways, its summer break at last. Me and Will are still renting this apartment since he has summer courses and I rather like living here than out of my parent's house. Rent may be an issue though... I don't really want a summer job, but I may at least need a part time one to make rent.

Dear Diary,
I may have solved my rent money issue. I asked Will about it and he offered to pay my half if I participate in one of his projects as a guinea pig. I agreed and he gave me this liquid to drink that apparently is suppose to turn my natural hair color to blonde. Seems pretty crazy/impossible but who knows, I always wanted to try having blonde hair. Could be interesting if it works.

Dear Diary,
Holy fuck it fucking worked. The roots of my hair are blonde! Actually it may have even been a bit too strong as they are not just blonde, but this really light, maybe platinum blonde color. Not the yellowish color I was expecting. This is almost a really light beige. Maybe I am not really blonde, but my natural brown hair has become significantly lighter in color? I will ask Will later about that. Either way it is kind of cool. Maybe he can do other colors like green or purple? That would be interesting.

May 29 - Day #87
Dear Diary,
I may have spoken too soon. Apparently there was a side effect. One that made all of by body hair fall off. I am shedding body hair like a dog after winter. My bed this morning was all full of dropped body hair. My head, eyebrows, and eye lashes are not yet falling out, so at least there is some unaffected areas, but I worry that those too will be lost soon. Will says that he is certain those wont because they are controlled by different genes or something, but I don't understand it at all really. I'm not a gene expert. Well, I guess that is why he needed a guinea pig. At least this isn't too bad. Although now I am feeling rather cold more often, and the fact that my legs are uncomfortably smooth too is something I hope is only temporary. Even my facial hair is gone.

P.S. Will said he would play my half of the rent for the summer as part of our deal, so at least some good news came out of this.

June 3 - Day #92
Dear Diary,
I am fairly certain that I have found another side effect. At least this one is basically just an inconvenience. It seems like my hair is growing at a faster rate. I just had a hair cut a month ago, and I may need another one soon, as my hair is already nearing that same length. It usually takes 3 times as long.
Will said that I can't get it cut either because he needs to watch and monitor it for any unusual abnormalities and document anything he finds useful. He promised that after the test is over with, I could even shave it all off if I wanted to. Apparently this test will last until the end of the fall semester, great. Well, I at least don't have rent payments anymore, so if all I have to do is deal with some longer than usual hair, then who am I to complain? I am basically getting paid $1000 a month from my scholarships and financial aid to pay my rent with while attending school. So with no payments, that money is now mine to spend how I want. Pretty good trade now that I think about it.

June 4 - Day #93
Dear Diary,
Will just said that if it really is bothering me (which it kinda is already) I could get one last haircut and have the remaining brown hair removed. I am not allowed to have any blonde hair cut though. Well, I guess that is alright. That should at least take off a few inches. And speaking of hair, I still have no body or facial hair either besides my eyebrows, eyelashes and head hair. Kind of annoying at times, but I am slowly getting use to that part too.
