I went shopping the other day and bought some stuff for Barcelona, it made me super excited all over again. I got bright green luggage tags so they are easy to find, an electric outlet converter, and a little safety pouch to carry money and stuff in. I also went clothes shopping with Elea (I know I promised myself I wouldn't but I haven't been shopping all semester)! I bought a bunch of new shirts (which I can actually wear for work so they were a practical purchase), two new pairs of jeans (my last couple good pairs just developed holes), and a super cute pair of shorts (no practical reason I just love them)! The funny thing is that everything I bought was blue, blue stripes, blue plaid, blue solid, blue jeans... everything blue.
Now I have to reign myself in and be even more careful about spending in the next few weeks. I can't go shopping crazy in Chicago, of course, I shouldn't anyway because I won't have room for new stuff that I buy in my bags. I really want to bring the quilt I got from Grandma but I'm afraid it will take up too much room. It's a strange paradox because I want to bring everything with me, but at the same time I wish I could just go with nothing and start over completely when I get there, but I can't afford that.
I need to go do the money transfer this week. I'm worried that I don't have enough money for it, maybe I can have Mom or Dad do it and then give them cash from the bank and if that doesn't cover it then I can pay them back with part of next week's paycheck.....
It's time for another serious to-do list!
8 days until Chicago
22 days until the MI Race
32 days until I leave for Barcelona
