One of the best days in a long time!…

• Today was the big shopping spree for new clothes – and it was a whole lot more than that, it was the search for a new style. I think I found what I’ve been looking for.
  • I’ve really liked the preppy look – full pull-over sweater on top of a collared shirt… so awesome. Well, my weight loss hasn’t led me quite to that point in playing dress-up, but I think I’ve accomplished a sub-step on my way there. I got a few collared shirts, a pull-over sweater with a turtle-neck, a vest, and plenty of new jeans, as well as a sick sweatshirt. And get this!… I dropped two pant sizes. I was so ecstatic! I haven’t fit into 34′s for ages (literally).
  • Anyway, I’m extremely happy with my outfits and cannot wait to bring ‘em to the ole Corvallis. Could not had a better time shopping… Well… Maybe. I feel so changed and definitely hope to leave behind the old me.
• I’ve decided my Halloween costume. I shall be a DJ! I’ve got my basic Sennheiser headphones and my T-Qualizer shirt (that basically fits now – has ALWAYS been a challenge since it was imported from Europe). I am thinking what else I might need. I don’t really want to go hardcore, so maybe this is enough.
• So stoked for Halloween weekend to come in 6 days! Kevin’s good friend is visiting with his girlfriend (and her friends, too) and are staying the night. PARTAY!… Campus will be buzzing!
• Haircut tomorrow, along with shoe shopping and a few more errands.
• I miss Corvallis, though. I feel bad leaving Kevin at the apartment alone. Ok, it sounds weird, but it’s something I think about. I don’t have as much of a desperation to go home anymore like I did during the stagnation of dorms. I love the apartment!
• Hit up 24 Hour Fitness tonight – man the food I’ve consumed yesterday and today since being home is inevitably going to put me up a pound or two – had to at least try to burn some of it off. I can’t wait to get back to the normal routine of working out at Dixon. I come home and I see how I used to live – and how contrast it is to my way of life in Corvallis… The later being better, actually.
• Went to Haggen to pick up my final paycheck. My coworker’s paycheck was there, and his last day was one day prior to mine… so mine should be there too – but it wasn’t! There’s more workarounds, but it’s a pain.
• Ready to turn the page and start a new chapter… Bring it on!
