You know what is an awesome feeling? Sitting down to do three assignments for tomorrow and discovering that one of them isn't due until next Monday!

So I'm done with one assignment and trying not to headdesk too hard over the second, which involves looking up ten frigging job descriptions just to write a 300-500 word essay comparing the education ( Read more... )

Five days to Christmas and my Christmas spirit is...yeah, just about nil.

I don't even know why. I love Christmas, I love the tree and the songs* and the snow. *glances out window at bare ground* Well, the tree and the songs* and the finding-of-the-perfect-gifts-for-people.

Maybe that's my problem: I have done no shopping whatsoever. The only gifts I ( Read more... )

So the weekend ended without any cute proposals, but I did kick everyone's ass at Facts in Five, then lost Scrabble to my mother by a heartbreaking four points consisting entirely of letters added and subtracted after the final move. *shakes fist*

Jungle Jim's was fantastic. (It's like a grocery store on crack! With an animatronic Elvis-monkey. Or ( Read more... )

Every single year, we say we're not going shopping on Black Friday.

And every single year, the ads pour in on Thanksgiving morning, and every year there's something that we simply have. to. have.

This year it's external hard drives--Mom and Dad are each getting massive ones. And I'm getting a couple of pairs of $13 corduroys, because I'm betting that ( Read more... )

Dear Jacoby Ellsbury,

Please to be marrying me right now.

<3,
Sarah

Seriously. Four for five on the night, three doubles, and two of them in the same inning. And this guy? Has played so few games this year that he's not even a rookie. He'll be a rookie next year.

Right now I could name more Red Sox players than Reds players, which would probably make ( Read more... )

Today we went to the mall at 7:00. I got an entire outfit--shirt, pants, jacket, and shoes--in an hour and a half.

For a grand total of $60.

I win! Also, thanks, scarletsherlock, because I never would have bothered with JC Penney if you hadn't said there was a sale, and I wound up getting half the outfit there. XD

Pictures will probably not be forthcoming, because I ( Read more... )

Today I bought a pattern for my Ravenclaw skirt. And an iPod.

Um, I have never actually handed over that much cash to another human being in my life. I gave the Best Buy cashier a stack of large bills, and he gave me 87 cents. And an iPod!

I got a white 30gb, and it's pretty and shiny and OMG I cannot believe I spent that much money on something so ( Read more... )

So last night, slightly tipsy, I ordered four shirts from threadless. They were on sale for $10 apiece, and they will serve as my personal graduation present from me, to me. I ordered them all in medium, which might be bad if they shrink, but I don't think it'll be too bad if I can remember not to put them in the dryer. I got--

Today was the obligatory Spring Break Shopping Expedition. We went down to the expensive hoity-toity outdoor shopping center, because our aunt had sent us Old Navy giftcards for Christmas and the only Old Navy for fifty miles is at the hoity-toity shopping center. It was 75 degrees, and so everyone in the world had apparently had the same idea.

Woo! I'm alive, and I'm on break. Sorry I haven't been around lately--computer competition is fierce in this house. Also my brother is trying to teach me how to play Halo. I still suck, but not as badly as I had before.

Thursday was great--we went to our grandparents' house, had way too much stuffing and pumpkin pie, and wound up playing euchre with ( Read more... )
