it seems to me like this wednesday's going to be a quiet one. at most i'll probably go out with my family for dinner once my classes let out, and in the meantime receive cards in the mail or something. one of my friends pointed out that 19 feels really weird, because it's just one step away from 20, and... well, she related it to anime, where the younger characters have large, innocent eyes, and the older characters have smaller, more mature looking eyes. that's what the discretion between 19 and 20 was for her, and i have to agree; it does feel like that.
last night i went out with my boyfriend/lover/what-have-you, who took me to my favorite mall in town and followed me around for about 2 hours so i could find a pair of boots. i was really reluctant at first, but he insisted, so we went boot shopping. geez, they were really expensive at some places. i asked him how much he intended to spend, and he said ~$100 or so. the ones i'd been looking at at the time were about twice that, so and yeah.
boots were one of those things i'd always thought about buying and fantasized about owning, but never actually believed i was going to own before i had a steady, well-paying job and i was out of college. so it was a little surreal for me--this sounds so stupid, i'm talking about boots, for christ's sake.
we finally located a pair at jcpenney's--i'd found a lot i'd liked, but i really didn't want him to spend that kind of money on me, and the boots at penney's were $20 under what he'd expected to pay, and in addition to that, penney's was having a 40% off sale on all boots. so it worked out, he wound up spending half of what he'd intended. and they are very nice boots, though i don't think i'll be able to wear them for an entire day of walking around on campus.
we went back to his apartment, where he made us dinner--pesto and salmon and of course a salad, with cheesecake and groundhog day (which i hadn't seen) for dessert. it was a really lovely evening. probably the most memorable bit i'll have to remember of this birthday in particular. i don't expect i'll be getting anything from my ex, who i'm still purportedly friends with but has really been pissing me off lately. but i digress.
there's a paper due tomorrow which demands my attention, but seeing as how it's only to be 3-4 pages long double-spaced on the standard font, i really don't expect i'll have a lot of trouble with it. an hour or so to write, i imagine. easy sweat. and after that i'll get to muse on turning 19 as much as i want.
