and it was all yellow
My shopping trips are getting scary:
1. Shakespeare's Sonnets (the cover was too pretty to abandon)
2. Sylvia Plath's Ariel (Restored Edition, the one I've been drooling after since first seeing it about two years ago)
3. a new calendar for the academic year 2010/2011
4. one top from H&M
(5. Sylvia Plath's Collected Poems, but this doesn't really count because I bought it a week earlier)
These cost about 40€ altogether (+ The Collected Poems, which was around 15€ on sale) + food expenses and train tickets to Helsinki, and the result is that now I don't dare to enter any bookstores for months... Sad sigh. When did my nerdyness get this bad? Three or four years back, and I would've spent 40€ on clothes rather than books! Now, the top only cost 5€ and I saw no more than a couple of dresses and shirts I might have been interested in buying (if the prices had been lower). Dear, dear god.
I started thinking about trying to write my Bachelor's thesis next (academic) year after all. I don't know why. The reason why I decided to postpone it by a year was because I was scared I might get too stressed out if I had to think about it during my exchange term. But now I feel so tempted to sign up for it after all...I really have no subject yet (an idea for it, though), and I should spent an enormous time finding sources and material for it, but then it would be done, and I could just leave the rest of the required courses for a bit later. We'll see. I have about a month and a half time to figure out what I want to do. The biggest problem is that I know who's group I should sign up for, and I don't want to email him about it... The joys of having scary teachers! ♥
