Licensed

So. At nineteen, I finally have my driver's license. Some people found it so strange that I didn't have my license. Most of these kids were from the suburbs and I guess they HAD to drive to get around. Living in this city, I never really need to drive, really. Everything is practically and arm's length's away and if I really need to drive somewhere... where the HELL do I find parking? Public transportation has been a good friend of mine.

I've had all the intentions of getting my license since... well since I was 16. But I mean I didn't do it in my junior year... and then senior year was REALLY busy and freshman year at college was.... a disastrous windstorm. So finally, FINALLY I can drive. I've always had apprehensions of me behind a wheel. I never felt as if I would be... good at driving and I tend to stay away from things I think I would suck at. And if I were to be a bad driver... practically 3,000 lbs of machine can run into a person or another car or some sort of structure. I never felt like I could trust myself with something so... powerful.

But now that my confidence in myself has blossomed ten fold, my worries now are about when my dad will get me drive the new Acura. Hehehe.

Anyway, went on South Street again today with my sister, R, K and his little brother. I walked straight back into the shoe section of Retrospect and found the black t-straps right where I left them last week $12! Yay! Can't wait to wear them! We stopped by Haagan-Dasz and Rita's but I think I'm coming down with a cold... and all I wanted was some hot chocolate. =(

The outfit above was a couple days ago. Ha I think I need a tripod or someone in the house willing to take a picture of me. Didn't get a chance to take a picture of my outfit today, but I wore a purple dress with brown tights and brown boots and I threw on my sweater from my highschool uniform since it was chilly this morning.



Here are some random pictures from a chinese food run with my sister. =D

T minus 8 days until classes start... ugh!

Gosh. With my schedule at school, this will be my last summer free until I graduate. It unfortunately, wasn't the most relaxing because I did have to take a couple summer courses. I think if I didn't have those classes, I would be itching to go back to school. I'm not very excited and SO not looking forward to it all.

I want to stay home and sleep in until 1 PM, just in time for Dog Whisperer.

I think my hostility towards school stems from last term, where I was taking 20 credits and stayed up until around 3 AM, not procrastinating, but actually working. Spending my days and nights locked up in my room, working with no sleep, made me a very irritable person. I think if I just had a couple more hours of just leisure, it would have been much better. Lets hope this term is lots and lots better than last term!

My sister and I strolled around South Street the other day, and I dropped by Retrospect to get a little thifting done, which made me happy. What made me happier was that I found this cute little capelet. It's a children's knit cape, but it was a good length on me. The picture isn't the greatest, but hey, what can I do? Look out for it when the weather starts getting chilly. I also saw this cute little bracelet at this new store called Lulu.ish. It's a cute little store. If I had the money, I would have gotten more.


























I had my first driving lesson today, so I wanted to keep it simple, keep it comfy with a wife beater, khakis and a scarf.

It was also my Lola's [grandmother] birthday today, so my sister, myself and my mother swung by her house and got some yummy carrot cake from Melrose. <3


That's it for now.

Yours,
