It’s been almost two weeks since I last updated, and I blame it entirely on AP exams and blogitis (that’s right; it derives from senioritis). It’s like every single drop of creativity in my brain has been sapped from APs, which would explain my need to just sleeeeeeep the day/night away. Thank goodness the lowerclassmen Seekers leaders planned today’s meeting; my poor brain could not have handled it. And I was so proud of them! The bible study session was informative and very cute with the little notecards (“The Lord is my __________”). I was totally channeling a mother hen, because as Yiptube put it, I was very “giddy” throughout the entire thing. Again, I can’t BELIEVE we only have, like, two meetings left before Jesus Day. (!!!!!) (*sobs*)

After Seekers, I met up with Shiman, Tracey, and Artin, who had just taken their AP Art History exam. From what I heard, only like four students passed that test last year! Craaazy! But I mean, it’s quite understandable. Who wants to learn about the uh…properties of cubism and Matisse’s life experiences or whatever?? (Besides Shiman. HAHA, JK BOO!) So yeah ANYHOO, we trekked over to Chinatown with the intention of going to Pinkberry (I wanna try Red Mango! Or Very Berry ’cause Shiman says it’s cheaper!) but ended up changing our minds at the last minute and going to a Viet restaurant instead (haha, if Sam had known we were going to eat Viet, he would have probably joined us for some “real” food).

Soho was our next destination (time to walk off those calories!) and we went to this odd store called Muji. The first time I saw that brand was at the MOMA store, but apparently they have their own neutral space in Soho. And when I say neutral…it was seriously NEUTRAL. Everything was either white, black, or different shades of beige with the occasional burgundy or navy blue. It made for a rather bland yet interesting atmosphere. It’s like shopping at a warehouse or something.

^Those are “craft boxes” apparently. Very bum-chic, isn’t it? There was a lot of cardboard-made stuff there. A LOT. But hey, if you like cardboard, more power to ya.

^Wall-mounted CD player. Now THAT is super cool. In the store, they had it hanging on the wall over the bed to give it a very hip, college-y feel.

At the Levi’s Store, we encountered…high-rise skinny jeans:

I mean, the colors were gorgeous and the price delightful ($35!!! pretty cheap for Levi’s) but the mommy-ish fit? Not so great.

But thankfully in Uniqlo, they’re ALSO having a sale on select jeans that are NOT mommy-ish, so HURRAH! All is not lost. And for those of you looking for a bit of eye candy, I suggest grabbing a Uniqlo magazine/supplement/catalogue or whatever it is. HEE-HEE. You can thank me laterr *winkwink* (goes for both boys and girls).

The saddest part about all of this is that it simply reminds me of the fact that I am low on cash. Terribly, TERRIBLY close to poverty level right now.

Anybody wanna donate to the “Sponsor a Midget a.k.a. Theresia” program?
