I'm wondering why it is so difficult to find stylish messenger bags. They all are either ugly or bulky, and they don't have nice prints. I just want something that goes across the body, is comfortable, and looks nice, and it seems that that is too much to ask for.
Oh well, my search continues.
I'm waiting around to eat at Shafer, and I'm currently in the library. It's beautiful outside, but the wind is seriously an issue with hair as long as mine. I have a head band on, but it doesn't seem to make a difference.
I have work at 5:30 tonight, and I realized that I really don't like working at the book store. It's incredibly boring, and all I do is fold shirts. Also, I'm barely authorized to do anything, and this makes me feel useless as an employee. I shouldn't complain because they could have booted me, I could be working ridiculous hours, and I'm not doing any of those things. So I work for..... 3.5 hours tonight? 5:30-9. yeah, 3.5 hours. That sucks! I guess it isn't too bad because the work is mind-numbing, and it's not like I'm there until 10. Tonight is guild, which should be fun, at least I have that to look forward to.
Michele mentioned something about going to DC on Monday to see a presentation about the Peace Core. I'm not sure if I'm going to go with her, as she asked, because I have class. Though I have yet to miss a class in either of my classes on Mondays, and Sarah could take notes for me in one of the classes. Maybe I will, I love DC.
I need to go home soon. I think I mention this every day to at least one person. I think that if Michele goes home next month I'll hit her up for a ride. It would be nice to come home for a bit and get some things taken cared of.

The Way I See It # 467
Work was challenging today. All of the registers were down, and so we had to do all of the transactions on paper! Time consuming and ridiculous, but I got out of there 30 minutes early!
last night I went out with Sarah and Josh to his friend Drew's house. It was a lot of fun, and I actually got to play the drums! I haven't played in so long, but it was a lot of fun. I really miss my set now...
I need to figure out what to do about dinner. Shafer is closed, and I don't feel like cooking pizza. I mean, I guess I could... but I dunno...
Also, Guild is tonight, but I have no way of getting there, and Michele is trying to get me to ride a bike. I know going out more was part of my resolution, but to be completely and embarrassingly honest, I can barely ride a bike! I can't imagine my fear doing it late at night on the streets of Richmond. Goddammit.
maybe I'll just stay in? I don't want to... but I want a dependable way to get around that doesn't involve me crashing a bike, looking retarded, and making a mockery of myself.
or am I being too dramatic?

The Way I See It # 405
I feel compelled to write.
But I'm not going to write about the election, or those Polly pessimists, or the fact that a lot of people don't even know Obama's policies... or that I've just experienced a life-changing historical moment, or anything like that. I feel as though there isn't much to say that hasn't already been said.
But like I said, I have this itching in my finger tips to make a connection with my key board, and where else am I going to satisfy the urge? I'm left with an empty night due to the fact that my Urban Planning Professor canceled class 15 minutes prior.... so I'm at commons trying to keep myself occupied until I get hungry or decide to walk home in the drizzle.
A couple entries ago I noted the fact that I feel like I am in a powerful position, and I'm determined to keep my life following this track. I sometimes feel invincible, and I don't want it to end. I think I've finally realized that I have the "ball in my court" so to speak, and the world is my oyster. Really, nothing can go wrong. It's almost as if just as this country is on the brink of change, so am I. I would like to think in a romantic sense that my life is in tandem with the state of the world.... ripe for change.... eager for new experiences... but I fear this may be jumping the gun (something I'm always afraid of doing.)
I feel as thought flats make my feet look dainty.
Is this weird?
I'm staring at my feet, and I've noticed that I particularly like the way they look in skimmers, such as the ones I am wearing.
OH.
Before I headed over to Urban Planning, I was attending a lecture on Paleopathology (The study of disease in ancient times) and Peruvian Mummies. Really interesting stuff, but it was entirely too biological. However, as I have finally (FINALLY!) declared my major as Anthropology, I can get started on my World Studies Passport, which is this little doo-hicky that I need to have completed before I graduate. I essentially have to go to lectures and seminars and learn things that are really cool, and then have proof that I went and had a rockin' time.
hmmm....
maybe I should eat before it gets too late.
I was talking to Sarah Waks today and we both agreed that it feels incredibly depressing and lonely to realize that you don't have anyone to go to shafer with. Isn't that the saddest? While I fully appreciate flying solo at Shafer during the day, there's just something about when night falls that makes me want to feel...... interactive with other people. I just shudder at the thought of eating alone at night. I mean, I experience this at home when I eat there, but somehow at Shafer it is different. Probably because I'm not eating left-overs while laying in bed watching The Girls Next Door.
I think Shafer should install beds.
Wait... No. I take that back.
---------
I applied for a YAAB! A YAAB! (job).
I'm trying to be an Apple Campus Representative at VCU.
Here's why:
1. It's awesome.
2. It pays well
3. I can get a free mac book out of the deal
4. I get more experience in sales! :)
I think I have it in the bag, which is good because this means that if I get the job.... I might not have to work at Tysons over winter break, and that's oh-so appealing to me right now. Resto. I love you to pieces, but I'm scared that all the people I worked with won't be back (they would be insane to be there...), and that I'll kill myself with the winter crowd. Summer I may return.... but then again the Mac position is a full year job....so.... mabes not! :D
Having a job over next semester will be good too because I can actually amass money to start a savings account. All my talk of getting into the market (well... that's pretty much gone now) and I don't even have the safest form of investment!
ALSO:
More money would mean that I would have a surplus, which is good because I really want to move in to the apartment next to mine. The girl that lives there is a senior, and I met her last night. She's awesome. And her apartment is a dream. A REAL DREAM. I can't believe how nice it is. The only problems with it are noise from the garbage guys in the morning, and the bartender who lives behind her.
With the extra money I'd cough up the difference in rent ($875) to live there. So I'd pay 225 a month.... hmmmm...
At least I'd be able to entertain!
Maybe I'll just ask my landlord for a new stove?

The Way I See It # 355
Shafer= bad idea after all. That shit made me feel so sick!
also, after the break half-way through my Urban Planning class, almost the entire class left! I stayed behind, and I'm glad I did. I got some serious blogging done. :)

The Way I See it # 354
I'm sitting in Urban Planning right now and have been zoning out the entire time. My professor just turned on all the lights and wants us to do group work. laughable. I want to leave at break, but I'm scared to because I feel like my professor has been watching me all night and will wonder where I went. I haven't eaten yet tonight.... I guess I can go to shafer for dinner, but I kind of don't want to. I don't want to eat at home because all I have there are frozen dinners and salsa. Not a bad option, but kind of depressing.
I could order in......
actually.... that doesn't sound like a bad idea. or I could meander on over to W. Grace and get some take out. That might be even better. I didn't even think about that.
this will take some more thinking I believe.
maybe Shafer is a better idea. It's close, I can get a salad, it's easy. I think I'll just do that.
