Labor Day

Today, my friends in New South and I went to The Mall and the Smithsonian. I have posted the link in case you would like to see pictures.

Labor Day Weekend

Hello,
Finished my first week of College. So far, so good (except my entire life seems to be taken up by Arabic homework. I have yet to fall behind, but so you can get an idea of just how much work it is, I have just plugged away for 50 solid minutes and am a little less than halfway through with my assignment. Plus I still have a paper to write and several chapters of reading for my other classes!)

On the other hand, I'm having fun down here and just got a new camera so perhaps I can put some pictures up...

Sneakers, part II

Well, after another marathon trek to stores (at least 5 more this afternoon!), I finally came across a pair of shoes in my size. New Balance 574. Oddly enough, this is the same model I had before, but they're in a different color.

The good news? Only $17! The bad news? With all the money we spent on gas trying to find a store that carried them, the real cost is much higher.

Oh well. At least that's done...

Shopping for College

I head down to Georgetown this Friday, but before I leave, I need to get a few items. The past few days have been spent buying things for the dorm and buying clothes so that I can look presentable.

First issue: Why do I need to buy so many pillows if I'm only sleeping on two of them?
Second: Why must I go to go to 3 different stores to find T-shirts in Adult Small?

But the worst inconvenience of all is that I must buy shoes online since stores have stopped carrying shoes in my size altogether. Today alone I went to 5 stores and found not a single pair of decent sneakers that were available in my size. Alas, it seems I will be relegated to the realm of Custom-Designed kicks! There goes that graduation money...
