Day Tripper

These past few days have been alright, seemingly uneventful, but I suppose blogging about it anyways is fun. Although I am not as gifted as other writers, I figure maybe it might entertain some people hearing about my drab life.

So, let's see, yesterday? Yesterday was the start of The Flood (part two, cue many many BIC references). I woke up early to go to North Start mall for an appointment at Toni&Guy. Before anyone asks, no, I didn't get a very expensive haircut. One of my good friends, Michelle Farrow, just got a job as a stylist there. She needed me as a model because I have curly/wavy hair. So, at around 9 in the morning, she curled my hair (in a really neat way I will be using in London,) then washed it again and dried it with a flat brush, and then straightened it. It turned out really nice, and she learned really quickly. I'm so proud of her! Afterward, I ventured over to the new, huge Forever 21 and bought myself a super cute outfit. Michelle got off early, so we went and ate lunch and sat and talked. She's amazing, and I've known her since around elementary school. We loitered around the mall for a little bit more because the weather was horrendous that day, but left before traffic got too bad.

As I got home, I noticed that the power was off. My mom said that it had been around since around 12 or so. The rest of the night consisted of us trying to find flashlights and candles, mostly. As the night went on, it got more and more hot in the house. No AC :/ It was SO hot that when I finally went to bed, it was unbearable. I could hardly put a sheet over myself. I drifted off sometime, but I didn't get off that easy. Around 12 or so, a huge crazy storm broke out. It was storming so bad and so loudly, and the heat wasn't helping. I moved to a cooler room and finally got to sleep around 1 or 1:30. Thankfully sometime in the early morning the power went on and I got really cold. Yay for AC!

Today was nothing special, just getting up at 11 (I was so tired!), dropping my mom's car off, and shoe shopping. Have I told you just how much I love Famous Footwear? It's truly amazing that they have such great shoes at lower prices. I ended up buying new tennis shoes and some gorgeous boots. I have to show them off, because while they are gorgeous, they are also comfortable!
Lovely boots that I now own and are ready to walk the London streets! I'm so excited! Now I only need a few more pairs of jeans and some long-sleeved shirts and I'm all good.

My friend Jennifer who is going for the same program as I am is leaving tomorrow! I'm so excited for her and I wish her only the best. She'll be going to meet up with her brother and then going to Paris. Hopefully she'll get everything straightened out with Queen Mary. They seem so slow and incompetent compared to American schools, it's so weird! I officially have four classes (one which I don't know if I need or not actually,) so we'll see how that all works out.

Other than that, I just have to get stuff ready for the 'big party' on Saturday. I don't remember if I've talked about it, but he's throwing me a 'going-away party' before I leave with family and whichever friends I have left here. It'll be corny but fun, and I'm getting my friend Isliana (and her friend) to make me a neat cake like the ones on Ace of Cakes or Cake Boss. I can't wait to see what they come up with!

Everything seems to happen so fast.. it's amazing! I can't wait to go. Guess I'll finish this up!
