My First Day Back

Location: My bed

So, I tried out my new philosophy on life today. It worked out pretty well today I think...Well I started off the day walking to CVS. While crossing a road on a complicated intersection of one way streets, I got yelled at. A lady sitting in a bright blue new mustang leaned out of her car and yelled "Get out of the fucking road," despite the fact that her light was red and remained red the whole time I crossed the road, so it was not like I blocked her or anything. Anyway, so that put me in a bad mood, but when I got to CVS I decided to turn it around. While checking out, the lady who was cashiering was very quite, not saying a word to me. So I decided to go out on a limb and say "Hey, how is your day going?" To my greatest surprise she looked up with a big smile on her face and said, "its going fantastically! How bout you?" She then proceeded to talk about how much she missed all the college students and how glad she was that we were all back. This made both of us smile. So I guess the message in the book really works! Maybe you guys should try it out. I am in a much better mood because of it.

Now I am pretty tired from all this moving in, unpacking, and walking around the city. I sat down for a few minutes and drew some fashion sketches. My favorite kind of sketch is done with a pen, when I can't erase or try to fix any "mess ups."I always come out with some interesting stuff. I will post it up here as soon as I get a chance to scan it.

It is unusually cold here in Savannah, only around 45 degrees. Its not so bad for me, since I have lived in Seattle for four years, but some people are really suffering. Its funny to see some of the girls running around in little dresses and Uggs, hoping those maddeningly ugly shoes will protect them from the cold. I do like the cold weather though, it always provides the best opportunity for layering up with cute scarves, socks, hats, gloves, and all that good stuff. I personally love wearing shorts and skirts from the summer over tights to instantly transform a summer look to winter. Anyway, for now I have to run back down to the computer lab and attempt to figure out their weird printers...
