I've been spending lots of time exploring the different types of music available on iTunes. There's one girl who has almost 100 songs by different a capella groups from colleges all over the country, and I fell in love with one of the songs. There's an all male a capella group from MIT that sings the Goo Goo Dolls song "Black Balloon", and it sounds amazing. I just want the boy who sings it to come sing to me forever, and I would be happy. *Sigh* I would melt and get all tingly and never leave the room. God, that's so stereotypically girly of me. :) Oh well. I listened to it five or six times in a row last night. I'm not obsessed.

I'm so glad that I only have one more day before break. I can't wait to go home. I haven't been back since August and I haven't seen my parents since the very beginning of October. I miss them, and I miss my house and my bed and my room and my friends, although I probably won't see them. It's a good thing I don't have any tests or papers this week, because they would not be done well. This whole week I haven't done anything. I'm just sitting around waiting for the week to be over. I already have a list of things I want to do over the break. I can't wait! Three more classes...

For some reason, I have this insatiable desire to go shopping. I'm not sure why because I've never been obsessed with it. I think it's because I haven't really been since August or maybe the first week of September. I really want to buy a new pair of shoes and a new blazer or non-turtle neck sweater. It's calling me. Oooooooo "Buy me!" "Buy me!" I'm being summoned by the invisible spirits of commercialism. I love it.

I've noticed that I just don't care anymore. I used to get dressed up at least a few days a week, but during the past month or two, I just haven't cared anymore. I've recently gotten into the habit of getting up 10 minutes before I have to be somewhere, brushing my teeth, washing my face, and throwing on a pair of baggy jeans and a sweatshirt. Sometimes I'll dress like that all week. It's funny because in high school, I wouldn't walk out the door without make-up on and a nice shirt, and I never ever wore my glasses. Now my glasses are used at least once a week and I go without make-up most days. In some ways it's nice to not care and not feel like I have to impress any person/people, but other times it makes you feel really gross and lazy. Should I put more into my appearance, or does it really not matter? I don't know. I don't think it's that I don't want to look nice, I think it's just that I don't have time. I just can't make myself get out of bed early enough to pick out a nice outfit and put make-up on. So maybe I'm just lazy. Eh, whatever. Maybe I'll look nice for tomorrow. Thank God I don't have an 8:30 next semester. Maybe that will help. Or I could just go shopping over Thanksgiving and buy a bunch of really cute clothes that would entice me to wear them! That sounds good. :) Ah, the things that pervade my thoughts.

Ah, Thanksgiving break...24 hours from now I will be on my way home. :)

Songs: Incubus "Talk Shows on Mute", 311 "Champagne (Remix)", and of course the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Logarhythms (that's really what they're called, lol) "Black Balloon"
