Wrap-Up January 7, 2009
Posted by Katie Oh in : Such As , trackbackWell, it’s been a while. You know how it goes. I’m typing this from the Greensburg Starbucks, due to a lack of wireless interweb at my own abode.
This is, more or less, what I’ve looked like for the entirety of my break. For whatever reason, I have been absurdly cold: I was wearing tank tops and jeans in the apartment in Brooklyn, but at home, fleece pj pants and a hoodie aren’t enough! I don’t get it. It’s not like it’s that much colder here than there, if it’s colder at all.
I worked my ass off from the day after I got home til now. In 15 days, I worked 70 hours. Egad! And then this week, only 9. How strange. I guess people are sobering up after the merriment and looking at the dire state of our economy. Holy shit, that’s maybe the most depressing thing I’ve ever written. Damnit, America!
Christmas was nice. I got… stuff. Well, I got some clothes, socks and underwear (haha, thanks mom!), and various body stuff. Oh, wait, I also got THE BEST PRESENT EVER.
That? Is a bracelet made of typewriter keys. I KNOW, RIGHT?! Jen and Ted are awesome. I am pretty much absolutely in love with it. When I wear it as well as my cupcake necklace, I feel like I ~show the world who I am~. The only thing that could make the ensemble any more ~me~ would be, like, a ring that played the Law and Order “dun dun” at random intervals. SRSLY.
New Year’s was uneventful. I fell asleep before midnight due to general exhaustion and didn’t really care. That’s life, I guess!
I went shopping with Heather, a long, windy drive through mountains to a quaint outlet mall. I gave myself a $100 limit and walked out with a new pair of Puma sneakers, three tops and a dress from Banana Republic, and a teeshirt from Converse. I am awesome at deals.
I am sorry I am not writing about something with more substance. I have been all over the place so far this break. However, I think I am coming around to some sort of happy medium. I am ready to go back to school and kick some ass.
New Year’s Resolutions:
I will not put up with anyone’s unnecessary bullshit.
I will not let my schoolwork interfere with my well-being.
I will not let myself fall into any social holes.
I will not keep counting magazines as “reading.”
I will not buy books until I have read and liked them. (Also, I will get a library card.)
I will not let myself make stupid excuses for not taking risks.
