vacation commenced with a lovely vegan lunch at fresh city with my favorite UPenn man, jon. we dined and dished, caught up and gossiped over delightfully decadent natural foods that jon doesn't normally permit to enter his body.
saturday i had family day at pc. it was nice. it's hard for me to think about actually going there, since i don't really know a lot about it other than it's free and it's for me. i talked with a few professors about my intended major (biology) and possible opportunities for researching with them. you know, just to get my foot in the door. i think this will work out really well because if i were to go to brown, i'd be struggling to keep my head above water due to the extreme competition whereas at pc i feel i will be better able to take advantage of all it has to offer.
plus there's the whole fact that i don't really have a fucking clue about what i want to do with my life, and i don't want to take out about 40 grand in student loans or give my parents their own personal heart attacks simply because of a $137,000 undergraduate college bill. because, yes, when all is said and done, that is how much it would cost us. ivy's nice, but i'd rather save my money and go to one for graduate school because that's the one that really matters.
in other news, yesterday i found the most perfect-est prom dress in the world. it was the first dress i tried on, and i bought it. it's love. the other day i went to the wrentham outlets and dropped a few paychecks on some gorgeous, new, and very much needed summer clothes.
tonight, it's a night on the town with rye, tomorrow i'm working and then it's off to cali!
