I Cut My Hair Myself

April 25, 2026

I decided to stop attending Dutch class because I have been finding it difficult to afford the cost. I have been wanting to get a haircut, but barbers are quite expensive in the Netherlands, so I do not feel like going. Furthermore, I have a plan to go to South Korea in two months, and I would like to get a haircut there because the cost is less than half. As a temporary solution, I tried to cut my hair by myself. I used an electric beard trimmer that I bought several years ago but no longer use. I did not cut much, but it turned out better than not cutting it at all. In the evening, I visited the bar My Way. Rolf gave me a beer, and I also gave him a beer. Maria and her husband Paul talked with me. They always give me positive energy. I had cheese, avocado, bread, and spaghetti for dinner. A housemate brought her boyfriend, and they cooked for a long time. It was very annoying.
