My name is Hilary. I have an addiction.
I buy things online. Specifically clothes. It started at school. But now since there's not as much reason to order things online when the stores I ordered from (Old Navy, Kohl's, Target) are right here, it's spread to regular shopping, too. I could usually always restrain myself, but now I can spend money like no one's business. It's bad. At first I didn't worry because I was secure with money for school, but what about next year? I can't just keep taking out loans...
Oops.
Please don't let me buy anything else. Today has to be the last time.

Shopping Day
I usually really hate feet (and as such would avoid posting pictures of mine), but I am a real big fan of these sandals I picked up from Old Navy today. I've worn them around the house since I bought them.

Day 4B - Girls' Night Out
Tonight Rachael, Sam, Becca, and I, and later Stephanie, headed out for some major shopping and a scrumptious dinner at Brick Oven. We all bought a pair of awesome sunglasses and the headband is for the VDay dance tonight. I bought some other things too, and it was so great to be able to get off campus again, but especially to hang out with the girls. =)

Day 4 - Read a Good Book
My sister and I stopped up at the Bookstore Book Sale before our weekly luncheon & Stats homework session. We went to get books for our sister's birthday, but I ended up buying these 4 for myself. We did get a copy of all the Narnia books for our sister, though, and a pocket copy of Pride and Prejudice (like mine, on top) for our mom.

Tag & Such
First order of business: The Halloween Package. (and accompanying piano music box)
Our door! So inviting & cute.
I put some of the shape stickers up, put our names around the hat, and hung some rings from her finger that people could take. Refills have already been needed. ^_^
My skull-on-a-shelf...
& the skull squished. =P
All the cups full of candy!!
Some of the ribbon decorating the desk...
The rest of it's on my drawer handles & on our doorknob. =)
The Ghostie full of peanut M&Ms...
And the music box. =)
Yesterday evening I took the box down to the piano with me, and I played for almost 2 hours... it was WONDERFUL. =) I even discovered this David Lanz song I've never heard before, but I think it'll be a great project to work on.
We'll see what happens!
Today I received my rain boots in the mail from Target!!
& I ♥ them!! Although I've never owned a pair of boots before... so I think they look funny around the ankles with all that material, but I think/hope that's normal. But they're cute. And I don't have any other shoes I can wear in the snow, so expect those every day starting in November/December. =)
Thirdly, I have found that I now love opera and classical music. Since Humanities class yesterday, I've been listening to all the other songs on our Classics & Italian Opera CDs, and, um, they're AMAZING. My favorite favorite is still Nessun Dorma, though... I think of No Reservations every single time (= Aaron Eckhart = happiness). And I had no idea that Andrea Bocelli was blind!! He was the cutest thing during the clip we saw of him singing Nessun Dorma (his was so much better than Pavarotti, in my opinion)... I almost cried. He is so sweet, and is one of those people that has the true spirit of an artist... they're doing it just for the music, and for themselves.
So instead of my Michael Buble or Christmas shuffle, I'm listening to my Mad for Italian Opera and Classics CDs-turned-iPod on my way to class... oh yeah.
On Monday for FHE we went to see our FHE Mom, Heidi, in a student play she was in at the Provo Theatre Company.
It was SO GOOD! It is incredible to me what people my age can accomplish. And Heidi's play, not even biased, was the best... she was the star. =) It was amazing! & I saw the guy she played opposite (his character's name was Jarom) at breakfast the other day, and I told him he was really great. =)
But speaking of seeing famous people around, at the play, Asia and I were discussing the possibility of one guy behind us was the murderer from Dial 'M' for Murder, and then the guy right behind us was like, "The Murderer?" We turned around, and it was the husband guy!!
(Who I found out later was Heidi's brother [L]... insane!!?!?! Awesome!!?!?!) So of course we told him he was awesome. He was my second favorite. My first favorite was Max...
who was not there, but absolutely awesome all the same. (Photos from BYU, btw...)
& I just had some thoughts on Sunday... I've never seen any boy my age give a blessing before... when Nathan confirmed Jarett, it was amazing! To see the wonderful power of the priesthood also work through a boy I knew was normal, just like all of us... it was a true blessing. It really hit home for me the importance, but also the truthfulness of the priesthood. I LOVE THIS GOSPEL!!! =D
Ok, so, I know the title of this blog even has 'Tag' in it, but I think this is long enough as it is... & I have yet to take a nap so I don't fall asleep in World Civ. Hence, later shall come the actual taggage report. =) [Sorry, lame, Megan, it will be great though.]
Helpful hint of the day: Plan your schedule for next semester early. Like, now. And then let me know. Because mine works out great.

Friday Last
No more classes on Fridays anymore. =) I'm excited. Friday was already my day to sleep in, with no class until 10, but now it's extra sleep in time... fabulous. English was fun today, though. We had a sub, and she was cool & taught the material in a funny way. We applied kairos/kronos & some other analyzation techniques to issues affecting us today, so that was nice. Our Mythos, Logos, Ethos paper is due Monday, but mine's already done, & hopefully what she wants.
After class I had lunch with Megan (sister) -- taco bell, yummy. Tomorrow her ward's renting out a nearby movie theatre & playing 4 movies & providing breakfast for us... so I might go. The only catch is it's at 8AM. =\ We'll see.
Grapes called, I had walked with her over to the Wilk & left her at the book sale, & she needed someone to buy her books because she left her money and credit card back in the dorms. After we were done eating inside, I joined her & picked up some more books myself. I also bought about 5 CDs and 1 movie thing for Dad for his birthday/Christmas presents. It was a worthwhile trip.
Today Megan went up to campus with me to turn in my Civ paper (3 hours before it was due, I was proud of myself) and rent a movie from the bookstore to watch on our Movie Fridays. We're going to wait until Whitney gets in after work to see if she wants to come to Wendy's with us for dinner, after which I plan to bring home my Frosty & eat it as we watch Stardust tonight.
Justin finally got my letter today. I don't know what the deal was... stupid. I guess the Naval Academy just doesn't want their people distracted or some mess like that, so they hide their mail as long as possible. Mail stealers.
Helpful Hint of the Day: Feel free to be lazy & wait 5 minutes for an elevator to take you one floor down even though there's stairs 5 feet away. Especially if you have nothing to do afterwards.

His Story
Today I roped Megan into coming to the Progressive Book Sale with me... I scoped it out yesterday, when everything was 50% off, & went back today to get the stuff I could at 75% off. I'm so pleased with the books I got... all for $10.
I feel smart having these books laying around my room... I am reminded of the quote, "Always read something that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it." & I'm so excited to be able to start my own history books collection. I figure I need to start doing so, if I plan to be an informed history teacher. I'm interested in this stuff, so I want to know so I can fill in a student one day if they want to know this coolness as well.
After our book surfing (which I will return to Friday to get some CDs for 90% off...), we stopped in the CougarEat to get a nice lunch & change of pace from the Cannon Center, which is our usual haunt since most of the girls here have a Cannon-centric meal plan. After that, Megan was even kind enough to wait for eons as I sloughed through the line at the Student Employment Center... though the people around me in line were quite nice. The guy in front of me was going to be a bio-medical research assistant... his major sounded pretty intense. He's going to be dissecting cell membranes for his professors.
Cool stuff. We chatted a lot. & one of the girls behind me was going to be working at the Testing Center as well; she's also a freshman. & we even have differing schedules, so we could be able to pick up each other's shifts if need be. Very lucky meeting.
I'm kind of excited for my first English paper; it's a short one with a paragraph of Mythos, Logos, and Ethos writing on a subject from our own religious Mythos & person Ethos.
I'm thinking I'm going to write mine on religious persecution, and how it's for our good. Mythos - scriptures; Christ, Joseph Smith being persecuted. Logos - historically proved religious persecutions, such as Joan of Arc and that Ann lady who started Rhode Island. Ethos - my own experiences with religious persecution. I'm glad that idea just came to me, & I hope she likes it... hopefully the writing can make up for if she doesn't like the topic idea.
I'm also a little happy to be going to World Civ class tonight, since we had our first quiz on Monday & I think I did well. It was only a map quiz, but I'm proud of myself, and I want to see for myself if I did as well as I thought I did.
First college quiz, and all... you know.
After Civ I'll be coming back & picking up Megan and Asia, and any other girls that want to come support Asia in BYU Idol. More on that later tonight.... the Daily Universe said the winner last year sang Michael Buble's "Everything" (my current favorite song) and a Josh Groban song, so I'm pretty psyched. I'm glad someone around here can plan cool stuff that people will actually come to.
Helpful hint of the day: Use the Subway line in the CougarEat only if you really want to test how long your feet can be stood on without hurting.
