13. thoughts

i have been spending the past few days with elayna. it's been nice.

things we have done:

-shopped. got a dress, a skirt, and a couple of pairs of shoes from urban outfitters--all on sale. i got a pair of sandals from anthropologie on sale as well, along with some bracelets from brass plum--3 for $10.

-ate. we have eaten so much goddamn food. 8 oz. (burger place), yogurtland, apple pan, farmer's market, chipotle, kokomo's, enzo's, bobaloca, paco's.

-slept. snuggled. taken pictures. etc.

and others:

-undie run was kind of amazing. i saw ucla in a completely different light, it seemed like a much happier and different place, a school i was actually proud to be a part of, friends i was happy to see.

-i've been exhausted and i haven't slept well in days. but i guess that's okay because it's summer.

-yesterday i saw a friend from high school who hadn't heard about my break-up. so i had to talk about that all over again and reliving it kind of sucked. yesterday was hard, today has been easier. it's a trend and it'll pass.

-i start my chic little devil internship on tuesday. i have to choose an outfit to make a good impression. the task seems absolutely daunting, as it's a style house and it seems practically impossible to dress the part.

-i'm still set on that mannin jewelry internship. i'll be emailing the woman shortly to see what her deal is. i want that internship, it was kind of made for me.

did i mention i'm tired?

6. going

friday night was spent with gigi and sarah, we went to chipotle and stared at the sad sacks eating there, we ran into julia too. so she sat with us and it was really nice to reminisce on the complete ridiculousness that was high school. then me and gigi and sarah went back to gigi's house to talk some more, it all felt good and right.
saturday i went shopping and scored at the nordstrom sale, but my mom isn't letting me bring my new clothes back to my dorm (understandably so, i have so much shit that i need to bring home).
and that's about the only things that were remarkable about my weekend, or at least worth looking back at.
i have 2 more weeks to get through and i keep realizing that 2 weeks until i'm done=2 weeks until laynie comes to visit. can't wait for that, we are going to have such a great time. taura left for berlin early this morning and i'm already missing her.
the amount of shit that i need to do in the next week, just to PREPARE to begin studying for finals is kind of ridiculous. but i'm ready to face it and get it all over with.

5. almost thereeee

so this week has been really long and draining, not really what i expected. i'm hoping that this weekend will pay off for it though, i have some pretty good plans:

friday: class until 12, then hiking, then seeing gigi and sarah at night

saturday: shopping at nordstrom with mom (sale!), stopping at american rag (toms?), watching that 50s movie for class

sunday: jazz-reggae fest

monday: chill.

let's hope all that works out, and that i end up having a good time. now, i have to go get dinner and make it to the CEC office by 6. pharrell is speaking tonight, that should be pretty interesting. i have no idea what he could possibly talk about.
