I guess I'm updating on Sundays now? Whatevs.
Ordered my textbooks a couple of days ago. Planning to read over them before classes start because I won't be doing any of that at band camp, haha. I saved about $120 buying them online which is sweet.
My financial aid is a week away from being finished. Last loan is being finalized, just have to send in paperwork and what not. I'm ecstatic with my aid package this year as compared to last year. I've got more loans, but two of them are federal so they have lower interest rates, plus I got a bunch of grants which I view as free money. Excellent.

I leave in three weeks. I'm happy about it.

Going thrifting some time in the next couple of weeks because man do I hate spending money. I need a lot more regular tops because I just have a bunch of t-shirts and I want to change that. Plus I probably haven't been thrifting since last year and it'll give me a chance to hang out with people I haven't seen in a while. It'll be nice to step away from the mall.
I've gone to the mall wayyy too much this summer and it makes me feel terrible. It makes me feel guilty and shallow and uncaring. It got to the point a couple of times where I would be at the mall like 2-3 times a week and after a while I just stepped back and went "Ugh."

I love thrifting a bunch because you find great stuff after sifting through some really weird stuff. You find cheap things and it's a breath of fresh air after $30 shirts and $50 jeans that I would never buy. It's kind of invigorating to imagine who wore the clothes before you, and who was this person, and did this article of clothing mean something to them, and how are they doing now? It's like physical history and I need to do it more often.

Watched Annie Hall the other day and loved it. Now I want to watch a bunch of other Woody Allen movies. Super great. Kind of want to be Annie Hall for Halloween. No one will get it but do I care? Not in the least.

Tonight was completely excellent.
Got some Beaners, saw Star Trek, had a shake and fries, putzed around Meijer.

On the subject of Star Trek:
YOU NEED TO SEE THIS MOVIE.

I'll give you a little taste of how I felt after this movie. Usually I am a bit pissy about going to see lots of movies in the summer because they are 7.50. A little ridiculous for 2.5 hours but mostly it's the distribution houses that jack up the prices.
I felt this movie was worth 7.50.
For sure.
No doubt.
The score was awesome, and the characters were great, a great rapport with each other. As far as capturing the idea of size and comparisons, they were spot on. Good Lord.
Such a good movie.

Going to bed soon.
Calling Tim Horton's tomorrow.

Night folks!
