Girl and City

Investing in the stock market?
Going to horse races?
Gambling?
No.
I’m going to go bankrupt because of food.
Because of every single restaurant, diner, and cafe out there.
Because of every grocery store. Especially because of every “Organic aisle” in grocery stores.

This “healthy” addiction is just as money-depleting for me as any unhealthy addiction might be.
I have spent over $200 in groceries in the last two days. And I have only made one meal (although, to my credit, it was a very good meal, with enough left over for lunch the next day).

Let me backtrack. The reason I haven’t blogged in the last couple days is because I’ve been ridiculously busy moving and I don’t have internet in my new apartment yet.

Saturday marked the end of my last exam and a fun “last” night out with the girls. Sunday morning, my parents arrived just as I woke up, before I even had an opportunity to brush my teeth to rid myself of alcohol-breath and barely enough time to hide the leftover alcohol and shot glasses in my room. Definitely not enough time to get over my hangover. I was also completely exhausted since I’d barely slept the night before my exam (I had procrastinated, freaked out, crammed, then freaked out some more), and then last night, due to end-of-exams festivities, I didn’t get back to my room till 4am.
My mom did notice my breath smelled funny but if she knew it was alcohol, she didn’t say anything.

The rest of the day was spent tirelessly moving out of residence and into my new apartment. It didn’t take that long, since all I have are bags and boxes of clothes and books. In other words, I have no furniture.
Consequently, my room looks enormous, most of my clothes are still in my suitcase, I’m sleeping on the floor, I wake up at 6:30 because my window faces east and I have no curtains. I also have very little light in my room at night because none of the rooms in the apartment have a ceiling light so everything has to be lit up by floor lamps and my parents only brought me one. To make matters worse, I can’t even surf the Internet (in the dark) because the roommate that moved out took the router with her, and my roommate hasn’t bought a new one.

But, to tell you the truth, I love it. (more…)
