I am sensing some last minute packing in my future
Man, it's a good thing I still have two weeks before I have to go back to class, because my current level of readiness for school is hovering somewhere around EPIC FAIL. I'm absolute balls at back-to-school shopping, even though I've reached the point where I really do need new clothes; and yet I still can't seem to find anything I like.
And I have noticed a disturbing imbalance in my shoe collection. Contrary to popular conceptions of women, I've never really been that into shoes, so I mostly just stick to the essentials: a pair of sneakers, two pairs of heels (one black, one brown), and a pair of white sandals. Oh, yeah. AND A JILLION PAIRS OF FLIP FLOPS. Why is that the only thing I can buy?! In the past year I've bought four new pairs of shoes, all flip flops. Compare this to my sneakers, which are about two and a half years old (although actually just this weekend my mother forced a new pair on me that she just bought, so I guess I can finally throw out my old ones), my black heels which I've had since tenth grade, my brown ones since eleventh... I look at them and think, "MAN! I need new shoes," but at the same time I absolutely hate wearing shoes, so it makes it hard for me to justify spending a lot of money on them. This makes flip flops absolutely perfect for me -- they're pretty much the bare minimum requirement for footwear, they're cheap and comfortable, and you can slip them off the moment you sit down. Ahh, wonderful! But still... sometimes I feel like I should dress like a grown-up every once in a while.
Clothing aside, I also have some priority issues in getting myself ready to move. This year I am taking my truck up to school with me, but instead of preparing to load it with all my stuff, all I've done is try to find some good radio stations around my school so I can reprogram my preset selections. Oh, and I've been working on the ultimate playlist for some good driving music to listen to in the car. Important, yes, but it would be nice if I could motivate myself to, y'know, actually start cleaning my room or packing my stuff.
