10/17

At the beginning of this school year, I thought I would be blogging like a mad woman. I thought I'd be unwinding each night with a lengthy description of each of my classes, every run-in with every cool person I met. Turns out, I'm terribly lazy. That's no news to me, but I am surprised how neglected my blog has been. So to counter-act that, here's everything.

I've been getting out a lot lately. (I think that's already been established, now that I think about it.) I got to hang out at the Harvest Festival for 2 days, which was a lot of fun. Also, the football games. One serious, the other a backward version; the girls play football, the boys are the cheerleaders. It was quite entertaining, I must say. David and I got Wendy's and I almost froze. We went to Walmart, too, and he bought a sweater vest. Adorable.

My once-dreaded mid-term grades came in today.

Math - 88, B
Sociology - 90, B
Gym - 93, A
Psychology - 89, B

Mrs. Hall says I'm "consistently courteous and respectful to others," as well as mentioning that I show "positive attitude and enthusiastic participation." I think she's adorable.

Today is just a really crappy day, I'm surprised my mood isn't worse. It's raining outside, and it's not even the attractive kind of rain. It's ugly and cold and windy and dreary. I spent my morning listening to Taylor Swift and going some virtual window-shopping.

There are only 25 days left until I hop on a plane and fly to meet Ruthi in Illinois. I've made no progress with anything related to the trip, really. I'll have to get to the DMV as soon as possible, which will be whenever Jesse has the time to drive me there. Plus, I want to do a little shopping before I leave. I do have a coat and most of the cold-weather things I might need, but I have some cash burning a hole in my pocket - might as well put it to good use, right? I think I'll tell my dad that I need some sweaters and such, though. If there's any chance I can get around spending my own money, I'll take it.

List time. Things I would like:

01. Sweaters. There are a few on Target's website that are seemingly adorable, so I'm interested.
02. Tights. American Eagle and Kohl's both have some gorgeous, knit tights on their websites. I figure they're warm and maybe that way, I can buy a dress or something. I haven't bought a dress in ages, and I know winter isn't exactly the prime season for them, but damn it, I intend to try.
03. Boots. I want/need boots in the worst way. It's getting colder and colder and the only shoes I'm sporting are flats. Adorable, but not the most practical for the weather. Maybe a pair of rain boots, too. Ooh la la.
04. A new bag. I've been needing a new bag for a while, now. My Warhol tote is wonderful, and I have no intention of retiring it for good, but it's rather large and I keep hitting people in the hallway. Plus, I want a bag that has a way of closing. Some comparments. I don't know, we'll see.
05. Hats and scarves. I already have a bunch of scarves, but I only have one winter hat that I like. It's time for an update.

Home is a feeling I buried in you.
