i haven't found boots yet and i've looked for towels somewhere else (found them - can't decide whether i should get just one set or two though).
things i am going to buy when i finally get paid (three months late, yep):
1. the sims 2, to play on my brand spanking new laptop which i should receive shortly (dell&dad are my heroes).
2. this (or this, depending on which i decide goes better with what i already have for my room) very cool needlepoint cushion (and hopefully i'll manage to make it in less than a year).
3. new ipod, because my old one is definitely dead. my parents will pay for it, i will give the money back to them later.
and 4. is note sure, but i've seen this extremely nice woollen jacket by sinequanone that is really tempting me (here as well i'll need to borrow the money from my parents beforehand).
it seems like all i think about lately is shopping. it's not my fault, i swear, it's my female genes.
speaking of shopping, i realised the other day as i was reading the wolfson new student handbook that i need to have that sub-fusc stuff. sub-fusc is what we are supposed to wear under our gowns at ceremonies and exams (yep, i'll have to sit my exams in a tie and gown and stuff), which consists of: dark skirt or trousers (should have but not sure), dark stockings (have), dark shoes (don't have - not comfy ones anyway), white shirt (need to buy) and dark tie (will nick off my dad, possibly something very 70s). ah ah. the fun times of oxford students.
if on one side i cannot wait to be there, on the other i am freaking out. i am terrified actually. by various things, such as moving to a new place, having to do shitloads of work, writing essays (which i'm good at, but are SOAS essays as good as oxford essays?), meeting new people. eurgh. i know that once i'm there i'll be fine, but still. i'm a bit anxious about it.
i should repaint my toenails bright pink because it made me happy but i don't know if i can be bothered. ah-uhm.
