Shopping
So yesterday didn't suck. I went shopping just when it started to look like there was no hope. I went shopping twice in 2 days, yesterday with Emils + JJ (who knows the tricks to see if something will fit you w/o trying things on) and today with my mumsie.
I don't feel embarrassed about shopping with my mum anymore, she's really the best one to do it with.
The gift card was a valuable life-learning experience for me, I found out that I am expensive and need a job in order to support my lifestyle. And I need one soon in order to buy the loverly skirt + skirts at Mendocino. A black, almost tango-ish ruffly skirt, a subtly embroidered lingerie-inspired tank top and a beautiful rockin' sleeveless skirt. Bill = $380. Ok maybe less, but I doubt it. And I want fancy smancy cosmetics + chocolate. Oh yeah, and university.....
I just read in the paper about Tanzania (or some other country). It is one of the poorest countries on Earth, but thanks to debt relief they have managed to lift school fees so that millions of children are now able to go. I was especially pleased to see girls in the same classroom as third-world countries tend to be extremely sexiest. They only get to spend 4 hours in class and have to share a "flimsy paper textbook" for every 3 students but the amount of teachers and materials have more than doubled since countries like Canada decided to release them from their debt. The newspaper called them a shining example of what debt relief can do. o^-^o So heart-warming, still sad but heart-warming! What did we need their money for anyway? I didn't finish the article ('cause I'm lazy~) so I don't know WHY the country was in debt but charity should be free! We're not expecting anything back from the Tsunami victims are we? (And rightly so!! >:( ) because that wasn't their fault. Maybe Tanzania's problem was....but so heart-warming!
Before my English exam I was hearing all these things about the state of America, Iraq and the anniversary of the Holocaust and all the comparisons drawn from it to the current situation of the world so I was pretty mellow, maybe that even helped my nerves. Because I am so damn lucky to be born in a first-world country, twice as lucky to born in Canada rather than the conservative States, THREE friggin' times as lucky to be born into my family with our tolerance and intelligence and natural distaste for unhealthy foods. Maybe that last one's just me... but the point is if you are currently alive in this country (I can't say for anybody else's) you are so friggin' lucky. You could be a girl in a sexiest country, you could be a black muslim (or whoever it is getting massacred) in Sudan, you could be in Iraq, you could be a homosexual in Texas. So relax, there's always summer school, and it could be so much worse.
