productive day?

today was pretty normal except I actually accomplished more things today than I have during the past 2-3 weeks combined.. i think. although everything i did today was pretty ordinary, it felt kind of productive. i went to the bank to deposit money, finally got a car wash and considering trying to wash my car again on my own tomorrow cause i still see small spots of bird poop residue, mailed out randy's postcard, and went thrifting again. i got a blue sleeve collared blouse, a white sleeve collared blouse, and a black turtleneck dress all for under $5. at the thrift store, an old lady tapped me on the shoulder and began talking to me. i was wearing this long floor length black skirt that i knotted on the bottom, because it was too long and she noticed that i guess. old lady said in her old lady voice, "oh deary, if i was your neighbor i would sew that up for you! it's really easy. i just don't want you to trip. all you do is just cut the bottom and stitch up the hem up and down like this *showing me with her hands* and then it'll be better. maybe one day you'll even make your own clothes!" i smiled politely and thanked her for her thoughtfulness. she was a really sweet old lady, and i definitely enjoyed the small conversation about sewing with her. little did she know, i actually just liked my skirt that long and knotted cause of the way it looks lol. and when she said that maybe i'll make my own clothes one day, it made me smile because i already have and her words meant well. random encounters with the elderly are always great. Earlier in the day I sort of impulsively bought Black Keys + Tegan & Sara tickets at the Honda Center for October, which costed $102 for two tickets. dunno who i'm going with yet tho, but not concerned. i sort of just wanted the tickets as a bday gift to myself cause it's in october and i'm pretty sure i'll be having midterms during that time too. should be a good stress reliever. i usually like to set up plans for myself in advance, so i can have something to look forward to. on that note, i might be going to my friend's bday weekend in vegas the weekend right before the concert (the concert is a monday), and i'm already stressed out about whether i'd be able to handle both a vegas weekend + concert during the possible midterms week. i can only hope that i finish my papers a week early if that's the case, because i really want to go to vegas since i haven't been in a while. anyway, i did my laundry and have mostly upacked from my Mexico trip, but I still have a lot of things in my suitcase cause i'm going to go back to the OC soon anyway. school is approaching, i'm excited for the new internship, but i'm dreading the coursework. i always complain about writing papers and i'm sure this year will be no exception. i finally sat down tonight and cleaned out some memory space on my laptop. it was down to 16gigs of free space this morning and now there's 46gigs free! yayyy. that took forever though to transfer and delete about 30gigs. quite satisfied with that amount of space, because my laptop feels fantastic now. or maybe it running faster is just in my head, who knows.   i also cleaned up my computer desktop and changed the rest of my folder icons to tamagotchis. laptop makeover, complete. -Tine xx
