Since YSI rehearsal had to be attended, the rest of us went and chowed down on mom's food at Ala Moana. Then, instead of shopping there and waiting, we headed off to Office Depot, got my sister her TI-84 Silver Edition (my favorite, by far, is till the TI-89!). I also picked up some quick use black pens (to counteract the blue I've been using all of this past year!), a few small cork bars (since our new dorm rooms won't have huge cork boards like the towers), the oh-so-necessary computer-to-printer cord, and some black expo pens (for the dry-erase boards that I have still been putting to good use!).
Nordstrom Rack was right next to Office Depot, so, for the first time ever, we headed in there. It was an interesting experience, leading to not so hot comments from our parents. It resulted in my new description of certain types of blouses as "bat shirts". To the pending horror of others, I got a basic pink tee and another very-not-my-usual-style blouse. I've just got to figure out what to wear under it. (This actually seems to be a recurring problem with many blouses I purchase). I've actually be on a rut of buying more basic pieces, since my closet surely lacks them. We ran into Kiyana's mom (surprise!) and then soon headed out of there to... Waikele Outlets!
I got my Jack Purcells. My happiness is palpable in the form of hugs. Now I have enough pairs of sneakers to last me three more years (they better!). We went into Everblue Casuals afterwards, in which there were lots of cute clothes that I got none of (but my sister got many of). It was fun, though. And there were owls.
I've tackled my pictures folder on my laptop, checking them with the external hard drive that they should be all saved to, and succeeded in clearing up about 2 GB of space (not that i was in dire need of it). Cleaning definitely makes me feel better about things! It's probably why I'm so anxious to get moving to the dorms.
I wrote on a lot of envelopes yesterday night. Maybe I'm getting used to 0.5 point G2 pens.
I did a bunch of easy sudoku today (though I was busting my brain out over it), had a chat with the choir director, and made soup. I mentioned this a few days ago, and today I was told "You're cooking today!" when I woke up. However, it didn't quite turn out as it should have. That might have to do with the fact that instead of water and white wine, I used chicken broth made from a bouillon cube, and soybeans instead of peas. =P I also had no parsley. Regardless, it was interesting as the arborio rice was fluffy and the potatoes were overcooked to the point of being squishy (too much liquid).
It seems like this week definitely will be filled with more adventures! I'm looking forward to it all!
