wow, a 2nd update within 24hrs. who knew this would happen when it took me 4months to do it the 1st time! so today was a good day i suppose. i had an mcat from 8-4. i was really up on an endorphin boost at 8am from i don't even know what, so the 1st physical sciences section i raced through and got done like 12min early. that early-ness also was partly the result of my not knowing a lot of the material and just having to guess b/c i didn't know the formula of some things. i haven't taken physics yet though, so what can i do. can't blame me for not knowing that one!
after the mcats i came home and then went to target with my mom to get a bunch of stuff for school. i got some utensils, towels, bowls, cups, plates, that stuff for the kitchen. then i got a towel rack, soap holder, rug, and shower curtain for the bathroom. then i got a mattress cover, sheet set, and i think something else? for the bedroom. a few more things i can't think of too.
i had a good moment though going into target. we get out of the car, and i'm wearing this one pair of jeans that i haven't been able to wear for almost a year i guess now b/c they were too small on me and i was just not fitting into it what so ever. so anyways, i put them on today before we go out, and as we're walking into target i'm like "mom are these pants ok?" and she says "no." my first reaction was "ugh, i thought they were ok, i didn't think they were still small on me. this sucks" and then she's like "they're bunching up along one part" and i'm liek "what???" and she says it again and i'm like "so you're saying they're big!?" and she says "yeah" and i'm like "ok. i give up! now i don't even have 1 pair of pants that look decent on me anymore. and my mom just reacted like "yeah, what a big problem of the world. if only we all had that problem," but i was just in such disbelief of it. so anyways, that was my happy moment. the visual first hand results of it are the best.
at target by the end i was feeling really lightheaded so my mom was convinced she had to feed me and we went across the street to this new place called like the Kitchen, restaurant and bar. it's really chic and modern and it's probably my new favorite place. i really liked it. the presentation is really nice and the food is really good. just the whole ambiance was perfect. i told my mom that if i had had my bday back here at home i'd choose that place to have the dinner at b/c i really loved it. i ordered a duck salad which was a piece of duck meat, green salad leaves, walnuts, apple, dried cranberries, and then also included was bleu cheese on it and mango something dressing, but i skipped out on those 2. i'm sure they were good though. my mom got coconut shrimp and a caramel apple martini. the martini i took a sip of and it was pretty amazing.
now i'm all set in place at home at almost midnight. i have to get to the gym at 9:30. i was gonna get there at 10:30 but a friend might be coming down from jersey later in the day so i need to get the gym over with earlier and then go to bed,bath,beyond with my mom to get some additional stuff for the apartment. decorating shopping is quite great. i'm very picky though b/c things have to coordinate and i shop for it with that decorator state of mind. my kitchen stuff is red against the wood paneling that we have in there. my bedroom will be shades of pink and green (again), and the bathroom will be the a maroon rug with a white shower curtain that's crazy-lined with red,orange,yellow, and peach bath towels (still need to get hand towels).
i think i'm gonna get to bed and get over 7hrs of sleep tonight. sounds like a plan.
night night cuties :)
