I have only two weeks of school left, with two assignments due this week, including my last major one: my poetry portfolio. As always, I'm willing to send this to anyone who wants to read it - no pressure for replies this time, because it's due ... Wednesday. Oops? Anyway, if you want to read it, leave me/send me your email address.
My Black Friday loot was rather considerable. I got a couple of Christmas presents, a few things for the kitchen, and some other stuff. The highlights are:
-a new pair of jeans. I have found my dream jeans, seriously. The fit is perfect. The style is perfect. The color is ... a little too grimy for me; I wish they were a darker, truer blue. But oh well! If anyone is curious, these jeans are Quartz style jeans from Charlotte Russe: http://www.charlotterusse.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3582955
-a new pair of dress pants for work! I need to hem them rather dramatically, and I somehow failed to notice that they don't, um, have pockets, but they fit really nicely.
-three new tank tops from Aeropostale: black, red, and white. New tank tops are always a good thing for me, since I basically layer them under *everything*.
-a black sweater dress from Wet Seal! I then also bought a few different pairs of tights to wear under it with my black boots. Expect pictures.
-a jewelry holder shaped like a doll: http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?order_num=-1&SKU=16010251 . It's very charming, and I think it will look great on my dresser.
One of the other things I bought was a scale, so that I can keep track of how I'm doing as far as staying in shape goes. I am 5'4", and I currently weigh 130 pounds. I wear a size 5 in jeans, generally, and a medium in pretty much everything "medium" is a viable size for. I have two goals for next semester: lose 10 pounds, and get the tummy flab under control. I know, because of the way I'm built, that I'm pretty much always going to have a certain amount of squishiness on my belly and my hips. I'm okay with that. But I don't like being self-conscious about the way my jeans fit around my waist.
I'm still playing catch-up on lj, because I worked Friday, Sunday, and today and went to the Ren Faire on Saturday. Be patient with me :|

I thought my dreams were settling down, but last night proves otherwise.
Going to the Ren Faire in, like, ten minutes - I'll try to spend tonight catching up on journal entries and commenting.
