Busy couple of days
I feel like the week has FLOWN by. Wow. Yesterday we went to see Stomp in Chicago, as part of our Christmas present from my parents. It was so cool!! I totally want to learn to play the drums now. Right after I finish teaching myself the piano. <.giggle> Afterwards, we went to Gene and Georgetti's, a really good Italian restaurant right over in the neighborhood of the White Star. <.g>
Today, my mom and I got out super early to be at the mall when it opened. I hate shopping, I really do. Blah. But it was productive. I got a new coat, a nice long black wool one (for wearing over suits). Then I went to Casual Corner to purchase some work clothes. I almost started crying right there in the store because I want so badly not to have to wear suits to work. I don't know WHAT I was thinking accepting a job that has a business professional dress code. I hate it. Hate it more than anything. Ugh. But now I better stay in this job a year, because I spent more than $600. AHHHHH!!! Suits are EXPENSIVE. But. My aunt and uncle gave me a $200 gift certificate for my birthday/graduation/Christmas, which was SO nice of them, and my mom bought this Cure Card for breast cancer research, and it ended up getting us $120 off, and THEN by using her Casual Corner charge, we got another $20 off. So in reality, it cost less than $300 and I got a blue jacket, blue pants, black pants, a grey jacket, a black dress, a black suit with purple lining (jacket, pants and shirt), a pair of black pinstripe pants, a blue, white and black striped shell sweater, a black and white striped shirt, a turtleneck sweater (not for work, just thought it was cute) and six pairs of nylons. I *think* that is it. But I did pretty well for $300, no? <.g>
Then, tonight we went to the Bulls game. We had good seats, yo. Fourth row behind the Bulls' bench, kind of near the basket. They lost, but it was fun anyway. =)
Tomorrow, I am going back down to Champaign to move out. Sadness!
And guess what? Aarti is coming to Florida!! I am SO excited. I'm sad she can't go to India, but I'm looking forward to Florida muchly. Whee!!! Plans are coming together and I leave in..... what day is it? I think I leave in five days! Whooooo!!!
