Day Fourteen

Today was a productive day from a lot of viewpoints.  First of all, it included a roadtrip of sorts.  Mama and I drove up to Skokie to go shopping and to check out the NLU campus where I will be taking classes.  We bonded.  It has been awhile since we really spent any normal type of time together.  I have been on pretty much the complete opposite schedule, which has some upsides and downsides.

I also made it a priority to go shopping for clothing today.  I desperately need to buy new pants.  I had started to look like a hobo at work.  I shot for dress casual and made the rounds at Macys, American Eagle, and J. Crew.  I was sort of surprised to see that I know wear a 32/30 pant.  Impressive.  I would like to settle into a 30/30 by the end of the year.  I also ordered a pair of awesome, grey Birkenstock boston clogs.  I anticipate that they will last forever. 

The university campus is very impressive.  It looks very new, very modern.  I am a little concerned about the commute, but I am very attracted to the area.  Lots of great restaurants, enternainment, and shopping.  Plus the cultural influences are definitely my kinda style. 

I still have no clue what is going on with my life in the next month and weeks.  I continue to enjoy the summer and have a small slice of order in the chaos.
