They were ridiculous and gaudy and i knew that i could pull them off. I was planning all of my outfits and was generally very excited. After attempting to wear the shoes around my house and almost spraining my ankle i decided today that i had to give up the dream. If i couldn't even walk around my house how was i going to go dancing or walk around bars UNDER THE INFLUENCE?? it was not going to happen. so i returned them and bought these.they're clarks. yes i traded out some awesome platforms for some orthopedic european walkign shoes. I'm ashamed of myself. But i knwo that in dc this summer it's going to be hot and muggy and humid and my feet are going to SWEAT like crazy and i'm goign to need good shoes to go wtih my new urban lifestyle. so yeah...i've changed.
I'm movign all of my stuff to dc thsi friday, then i'm gonna be in la next week then i'm coming back to michigan for about a week to defend my prelim exams, then back to dc and on and on. so anyways i started packing and i have way too much stuff. My bag of shoes for the summer was like 12 shoes. 12 SHOES!! why do i need 12 shoes for 3 months!??? ugh self loathing. not to mention that i bought 2 new pair. what if nick gets grossed out by my excess and decides that he does not like me?? we will be living in a studio together! a studio! scary.
on a positive note i assumed that i got paid at the beginning of each month so i wasnt' going to get paid for may and i'd be broke and unable to pay my rent. but i'm dumb. in actuality i get paid at the END of each month and so my april paycheck will last me through may and i'm getting some grading hours so that's like extra money to pay for my move and maybe i can pay off some bills too. the truth is that i live paycheck to paycheck so my bank account goes from full (payday) to empty (bill pay day, the day after pay day), so i never really notice when all of this happens. so woo me!
