Your hair actually looks rather nice if you forget the fact that it should, and doesn't, hide your sadly enlarged forehead. For now until you do something irreversible (well, irreversible in short term) to your hair, you could try to see how it looks if you try to sweep some hair across it. It might look better or just horrible; can't tell. Also, you could look into hats. Surely there's some sort of hat that's fashionable right now.
Now, to comment the comparison... I wouldn't say you're closer to passing (sadly), but I certainly would say that you look healthier. It might just be the smile VS the "I'm about to die" look on the earlier picture, but still.
Also, you really need a better camera. The awkward pixels make your nose look like it's been severely burn or something, haha.
