Like, OH MY GOSH!

How do you like my girly-girl tone? Pretty good, eh?  Haha. I don't use it much, unless I'm  imitating somebody, or high on sugar. So. HIIIIIIIIIIIIII! I'm sorry for the two-day (almost three-day) absence. There was just no time to post, with all the shopping we've been doing! 

Clarification--we've been to Target, a Walmart-like American chain retail store. And BJ's, a wholesale club similar to Costco. Where things are very cheap. Especially after Christmas. 

With all the 75% off (!!!) clearance tags everywhere, I was in Hopping Grass heaven. Needless to say, my family made multiple trips back, and we were given curious glances as we walked down the street with huge Target bags. Yes, they don't charge extra for bags in New York! (Cue Asian hoarding of shopping bags)

I haven't been able to much in the way of homework, but I think I deserve a break after working so hard before the break. My mom always says, "Work hard, play hard." I'm certainly doing that! I've come up with several ideas for the final computer studies project, if it ends up being a game. I've also looked over my Duke of Edinburg portfolio, and made notes on which signatures I need to obtain.

As for taekwondo, even though I'm out of commission for now due to my foot injury, I've still been keeping in shape! I've practised each of the patterns at least thrice a day, and I always make sure to do at least 200 sit-ups a day. Add all the walking while shopping, and I should be good.

Tomorrow, we're heading into Manhattan to visit the transportation (MTA) museum, and do some more (window?) shopping. Hollister Epic Store, here I come! Just to be sure you don't get the wrong impression, I actually don't like shopping a lot. But I often go to specific stores to get a good laugh. Ahem. The Hollister Epic Store in New York has half-naked male models. I wonder if they will still have them in the winter? Wouldn't it be cold? And awkward too, to say the least. O_o

I'll be here, tomorrow. Maybe you'll see me on television?

Also, my dad's taking the Greyhound back into the city so he can drive my family back on Sunday. We're going to Times Square tomorrow for the countdown, and leaving early Sunday morning, so I won't be posting until Monday, which will be back to school for most of us!

Donc, je vais dire «bonne année» en avance!

Ta-ta (being consistent with the girly-girl voice),
