uh...yeeeeahhh. let me please tell you what i have just done. i get off work. i go to publix. i go there to purchase food for the south beach diet, which is okay considering if i didnt purchase food i would be going out...but still, the horror is yet to be revealed. basically, i am kicking myself and feeling like a fool. okay, for one..i thought i was getting a lot of great deals because almost everything i got was "2/5.00". i mean...i didnt go buck wild or anything..but almost everything i bought was pretty cheap. let me tell you...the most i have ever spent in the grocery store for myself (because i am one person) is like 35-40 dollars. now, i must admit..once i started unloading my groceries i thought to myself "wow, this is alot of food." however, i did not expect what i was about to be faced with. literally, i thought the most i spent was maybe 40 dollars. NO. he finishes scanning and tells me my total...SEVENTY DOLLARS!!!! do you hear me????? SEVENTY DOLLARS!!! i know he had to have seen the look on my face. my eyes popped out of my head and i experienced blackout.(i basically hit the deck). he had to ask me three times how i was paying before i realized he was talking to me. i seriously went into shock. now, to the layman 70 dollars on groceries probably isnt a lot. but i am not the layman. i certainly cannot afford to spend that much money in one place on a monday night. i mean...christmas is coming up. these groceries better last me a LONG time. i will starve before i go back.
Moral of the Story: dont just put things in your basket without recording them in your calculator (or your head if you are a math genius.)
so..yes. i just wrote three pages describing meaningless, boring events to the neighborhood grocery...but i am really torn up about this :(.
tonight i left work feeling scared for my fellow friends. i hope all goes well tonight even though you only have three people. i pray that it goes smoothly.
tomorrow i have the regents. that should be a lot of freakin' fun. i mean...i have taken this sort of test so many times in my life. i'd like to say, "uh, i passed it every other time..what makes you think now that i've completed high school, been accepted into college, and completed more than 48 hours of classes that anything is going to change???????" what makes them think i am interested in sitting there for 4 hours reading stories and writing essays that i know i will finish before "time" is up. please....christy, ill be writing you a letter. i'll think of a lonnnnggg story to tell you :)
until then.....
