On Tuesday I had a doctor's appointment so this lady could sign my friggin' forms so I could legitimately leave the friggin' country. I like the doctor because it's never as uncomfortable as a typical girl's physical (because I'm the president of the best club in the world for naive 20 year old girls) would be and this doctor who I've seen once before is really nice. She just talks to you real casual. I liked her!After that I went to go see my uncle Mike and auntie Pat at Choice Cuts (their meat store ... Mike's a butcher). Uncle Mike was sad because I was leaving ... He's so silly. He said I better hurry up and get out of here before he starts to cry.
Then we went to this new restaurant Tony P's! I love it! But they sat a party of 25 (kids and all) right behind us so it wasn't as pleasant as I would've liked but still an early seaside dinner is great.
We made a stop at Best Buy and I was about to buy a digital camera (EEK!) but then I changed my mind. It sounded like too much of a hassle when the store manager was describing it to me.
When I got home Tuesday nite I talked to Michelle on AIM and she was packing for Austria ... to leave the next morning! I was excited for her though. Just really juiced in general because we're coming down to the wire as far as leaving goes. Then Chris and I talked for a bit on the phone and on AIM. He's adjusting to life in Phelan by himself once again.
I had decided that I was going to go to the movies on Wednesday and before I went I stopped at the bookstore and searched for a book on knitting. It was fruitless. But I did leave with 5 lovely parting gifts (The Devil Wears Prada, a Vegetarian cookbook, a yoga book, The Lovely Bones, and a lovely blue tote to carry my goodies in) I LOVE THE BOOKSTORE! It's an addiction I swear.
Then I stopped in The Gap and bought a new pair of pants thanks to this lovely assistant Jean Marie. She was so cheery and put a bright spot in my day. Only somebody that cheery can tolerate shoppers like me who get ready to leave the store twice before finding something else they might like to try on. Oh well you know what they say ... Third time's a charm ... I love my new pants!
I saw Garden State that day and was glad I was alone. I didn't cry it's just one of those things that I needed to experience on an individual basis because the movie was incredible. The camera angles were fabulous and the cinematography just blew me away. I was right there with each character and I've always loved Natalie Portman who should totally be up for an Oscar this year. She was absolutely fabulous. A good movie to end my summer on ... just glad it wasn't Napoleon Dynamite. I didn't like that movie at all. It was not my kind of humor I guess ... I laughed .... It just didn't really do it for me.
anyway ...
I returned home with about 2 hours to get ready for the Angels game. My mom got free tickets from her job but was running late and had no idea how to get there but we made it by the bottom of the third. I'm glad we weren't there earlier. it was possibly the longest 9 inning game I'd ever seen in my life. The KC Royals were really terrible. The Angels had 22 hits in the game and of those 22 hits 21 runs were made. It made no damn sense. 21 - 6 Angels was the final score. It was fun for about 2 innings until you knew there was no way the Royals were going to pull themselves out of such a mess. But either way baseball always puts me in a good mood. I get into a game and I'm real chill and by the time the game's over I'm all pumped! So I had a lot of energy when I got home.
I called Meghan and Molly and talked to Katt and Jack too. It was fun talking to the girls. They all had classes today and I wished I had classes to go to but a whole week and very little packing to do is keeping me in Hawthorne cooling my heels. OK so London is better than USF any day of the week but JESUS can it get here already?
Cristina left today and I talked to her before she got on her plane in Cleveland. I'm a little sad ... I'm not gonna lie. I love her and it will be a rough 7 weeks without her. But that Maroon 5 concert is going to be HOT with my girls! I can't wait.
Aight that's the general update. Back to staring at my packed luggage.
