"Oh, you look nice. Where are you going?"

"Nowhere."

Four day until I'm outta here. You can bet I'm counting down the hours. I'm trying my best to be as minimal a packer as possible, though I expect what is minimal to me is excessive to just about everyone else. I could have spent the day in my awesome concert tee (it says "Peter Bjorn and John T-Shirt" ) but I wanted to show my recently altered dress. The sleeves were strangely constructed to begin with, one was too tight and the seam on the other was coming undone, so I did what any reasonable person would have done: ripped them off! No, I didn't really. Just some artful snips with my shears. It will go nicely under jackets and cardigans now without that awkward bunching around the shoulders. 

I have quite a bit on my plate this week, not only packing for school but editing photos to send to my school's newspaper and the bands' PR reps. I've been getting by with a 30-day free trial of Adobe Lightroom but sooner or later I'll have to shell out for the Creative Suite, especially consider my area of study. That shouldn't be a huge problem because this year I'm determined to find a job. In case my store can't transfer me to a location in the city, I picked up several applications while I was shopping on Walnut yesterday from the likes of J. Crew and Anthropologie. I'm drooling just thinking about the employee discounts.
