Black Friday

yesterday was Thanksgiving. in this shiteous economy there are a lot of things to be thankful for. namely, a house. food. family. bla bla bla. even my education, though the lovely construction industry has gone down the drain and taken any post-graduation job prospects with me. and the horrid fact that I have to go to grad school after I graduate. which I still haven't begun applying for yet (not panicking....yet)

still in mourning over the loss of beautiful iPhone. still blaming my clumsiness. it fell through the pocket of my sweatshirt when I was going to get hotwings, and then I promptly got hot wings on my jacket. mind you, this is the 200$ Free City Superstore jacket, so I was really kicking myself and causing so much damages. at least the hot wings were good

so today was Black Friday, a discount-heavy, free-for-all spending extravaganza that usually brings out the spending animal within me. aaand sure enough, it did

victories / casualties of Black Friday:
1. C&C jacket (don't even asked how much I "saved")
2. American Eagle wide legged trousers (22$ from 60$!! cheapest I have ever spent on a pair of pants. and they're pretty awesome too)
3. American Eagle shirt (11$ from 50$)
4. heels. did I mention that I'm attempting to wear heels now? not very successfully at least
5. Express editor pants (those are the BEST)
6. Express party shirt / dress (it's a shirt, but long enough for me to wear it as a dress with some tights or something)
7. FREE Express sweatpants (I had a coupon)

I tried to lobby for a Victoria Secret scent because my current scent had expired (the last time I used it the liquid burned my neck I looked like I had an unzexy rash), but no dice. they were giving away free totes too. and then when I came back home and coma-ed on the couch with MTV on a program came on titled "True Life: I am a Compulsive Shopper." coincidence?!?! I hope not

but I also did get a lot of homework done, I finished the remaining schoolwork for one of my courses, and I'm going to work on another one tomorrow, along with several papers and another semester project. and then there's applying for grad school. yuck
