Today I purchased my ticket to Boston in January. It is such a good feeling to know for sure that I will be there! Even though I will be freezing my ass off, at least I will be freezing my ass off in Boston. And even though I don't get to go to a game at Fenway, at least I can stand outside of it and cry and it won't have to be in front of 50,000 strangers. Since it will be so cold my tears will probably freeze so I will take one of them and put it in a jar and label it "A Tear for Fenway" and it will forever define my first trip to Boston. Okay, maybe that is crazy, but still...I CAN'T WAIT!! I better start brushing up on my Boston vocabulary and start saying things like "wicked" and "NomAH!"

Good bye life. Hello school books.

For the past two weeks I thought school started on Wednesday, but apparently it starts on Monday. MONDAY!!! Now, let's see here...Thursday I am getting ready for my trip back down south. Friday I am driving to Monterey and going out with Joanna. Saturday I am driving to Santa Barbara and hanging out with Shane. SUNDAY I am driving home and then STUDYING!!! How the hell is school starting again? I don't think you understand how terrified of this semester I am. Not only will it be my LAST fall semester at CSULB, it will be one of the hardest semesters of my life.

History 346I: European Cinema- Communist and Facist Resist
History 477A: AMerican Cultural History
Political Science 412: Law and Social Change
Political Science 417: Legal Practices: Moot Court
Political Science 430: Fundamental Public Administration

Moot Court is going to eat me alive. No lie. I have to dress in a suit. I have to present a case and debate in front of judges. I have to compete in tournaments! I don't think I've ever been this scared of a semester before. I remember being nervous last semester, but nothing compares to the anxiety I am already feeling for this one. I am going to need a miracle to help get me through this.

Hello. My name is Penny and I'm a shopaholic. I'm addicted to shoes. It all started when I was about 16 and the town I was living in got a Macys. That was when my first experience with Steve Madden occured. It made me so happy. I just knew I would have to try it again and that's when it all started going down hill. Now I can't even go into a mall with hitting up the Steve Madden store. It's a horrible nasty habit.

On Friday I went shopping with some friends and I ended up getting two more pairs of shoes and a Michael Kors shirt. I have serious problems.
