Refresh

I haven't blogged in a long time due to many reasons. But I now feel I should.

I am excited to be home for good now. I'm done with classes, except for a final next Monday. I got really excited last weekend when I found out about a townhouse opportunity with three close friends downtown. Then, the landlord said no to 4 girls, and since I was the last one that decided to go in on it, I was the first one to get the boot. So, I'll be living at home for at least two more years then hopefully getting my own apartment or townhouse near the Detroit Medical Center downtown.

I have a feeling of refreshment for a number of reasons. Number 1 I am about to clean my room and I love the feeling of a clean room. On the outside, it looks really neat and clean but don't open my closet or a drawer, they will explode. I must get rid of stuff. Number 2 Summertime is finally here and my one summer class will start in two weeks, which means a new beginning. I'm hoping since there's just one class to worry about I'll be able to do well in it. Number 3 I just met a wonderful guy, Ryan. He amazes me in a plethora of ways. More to be blogged about him in the near future.

Okay, so.. I think I have to admit I am a shopoholic. In this economic climate, that is not a good thing. But, I did it anyways. I told myself it was okay since it was my birthday earlier this month and I had birthday money to spend. But, I ended up spending more money than I received. Luckily, I stayed loyal to my New Years Resolution to not buy any clothes, shoe, etc. (basically no money spent on myself outside of gas, food, limited entertainment) until now. And, since I stayed loyal for so long, I had some extra cash to splurge with when I went shopping. But still, I think I need to see a psychiatrist. If you look in my closet, you'd assume I lived in state that experiences a warm climate all year round. 75% of my wardrobe is composed of summer clothes i.e. shorts, short sleeves, tank tops, sandals. The other 25% is made of clothes that I actually NEED like jeans, sweatshirts, sweaters. To be honest, I hate winter clothes. They're SO ugly! Sweaters are itchy and make you look fat. I feel clousterphobic in long pants. Considering I live in Michigan, I don't know why I don't invest in winter clothes because when winter comes I wear the same outfits every week. When summer comes, I don't want it to end because I hadn't even gotten halfway through my summer wardrobe selection yet. Perhaps I should begin to donate some of my summer clothes that I don't wear as much to Africa. They have warm weather and not enough clothes and I have cold weather and too much warm weather clothes. Makes sense? I don't know though, I'm not one to trust charities that ship across seas. I once heard of a "Feed-the-Children"-like program someone I knew was involved with. They got a letter and picture in the mail of a child they were supporting and got to write letters to. It was pretty personal. Then they got  a letter from their orphanage saying that child got sick and died. A few years later they started supporting another child and got the same picture and letters in the mail. Ha. That's sad.
