Taking inventory
Black Friday:
Spent $172.88
Saved $138.72
made purchases at Banana Republic Factory Outlet, Rue 21 in the Philadelphia Premium Outlets, J.Crew Factory Outlet, Forever 21, and Guven's (a small middle eastern-themed store that sells hookah tobacco, which is what I bought in bulk)
Summary: SUCCESS
Quick bullets about break:
Tuesday night- Minella's with Sean and Jen after homemade dinner and homemade carrot cake and homemade cream cheese frosting by the spoonful.
Wednesday- NYC with Mommy. 9am Amtrak in, Lollipop building in Columbus Circle, lunch at Landmarc in the Time Warner building, Equus at the Majestic, watching skaters at Bryant Park, dinner at a small Irish pub across the street from Penn Station, 8pm Amtrak home. Minella's and Wawa with Rob.
Thursday- Thanksgiving feastivities with some of the slightly saner members of the family. Quiet. Watched Iron Man.
Friday- Black Friday with Phyll, Kait, and Tina. Dinner with Dad. 20/20 with Mom.
Saturday- Mac and Cheese party with Sean. Watch Get Smart at Jon's with Geri and Sammy the obese cocker spaniel.
Sunday- Drive 2 hours. Spend 2 hours with 10 one-day-old poodle puppies and my Gran and oldest cousin. Drive 6 more hours. Spend 4 hours putting away clean clothes, showering, and hacking off 4 inches of my hair.
I came back to school and found that Lucy got fatter and learned how to meow like a real cat, not a squeak toy. I went back to classes to find that I have a majority of my end of semester cram writing to do before classes end, which is not in the norm.
December? Seriously? My brother will be 11 in a month and a half. He uses deodorant, is almost as tall as me, and has a froggy deeper voice than the one I still mimic when I play his part in reenacting conversation. Lucy will be 6 months old in a week.
And as for me, what the hell has really changed? Will I ever grow a set and do what I've been saying I'll do for the last 7 months now? Will I ever grow a real work ethic and stick with doing the non-required work for all of my classes like I always say I will?
Will I go to Europe this summer like I say I will? Will I take Physics and Biology this summer so I can complete all of my pre-med requirements in college and not want to commit suicide? Will I volunteer at Paoli Hospital over winter break? Will I intern at Four Winds in May and June? Will I take a year off living at home?
Will I stay quit from smoking, like I have for the last two weeks?
