<p>Yay it's finally summer!! So so so happy this year is over.</p>
<p>And, only 8 days left!</p>
<p>8 days....ahhhhhhh I have so much to buy.</p>
<p>First day of summer and I have already burnt myself like a lobster. I'll never be packed in time. Can't wait to meet everyone that I've been talking to here for over 3 months!</p>
<p>I finished my last final today!!!!!!! So even though I still have 2 days of school left, it doesn't matter. I have nothing to do those days besides have parties and play cards in my classes.</p>
<p>8 days...oh my. I did some shopping today and bought all of two things. I just need to do a huge run at like...Target or something. </p>
<p>It's going to be so fun to meet all you guys next week. You're still all in EECS right? Nobody else in ME?? Either way I'll see everybody, but I haven't talked to anybody else in ME so I'm a bit nervous...</p>
<p>It IS going to be fun meeting everybody!</p>
<p>I haven't bought anything(except for the plane ticket) yet. 8 days is such a long time away! But I'll end up in a crunch the last two days and all of you will be relaxing and carelessly gazing at your newly bought, already nicely packed clothes.</p>
<p>midnightchild: weird! School after finals?</p>
<p>Yep...my mom and I went EVERYWHERE trying to find a nice shirt. For some reason or another, I haven't had a need for a dressy shirt/outfit for a while and neither my old shirts nor my mom's would fit me...so we spent about 3-4 hours just for that. But yeah, we're nearly at 7 days left! :D CanNOT wait! Sorry, midnightchild, I'm in EECS. I'm pretty sure we'll meet as a huge WTP group the first day, though!</p>
<p>I got sheets today! and this neat bag thingy to carry shower stuff in, and towels, and i started getting together stuff to pack.
Estoy emocionado.</p>
<p>I bought sheets a week ago or so, though I must say twin extra long is an annoying size. I went out today and I got a few shirts, I may shop tomorrow... I dunno though.</p>
<p>A week from this moment we'll all be unpacked and all comfy in the dorm...</p>
<p>Hmm...my mom doesn't really want to go and get more sheets. I hope full sized is OK if I just tuck the ends in under the mattress. It should work, right? And I got this huge purse (my old one's tiny and I've wanted a new one for a long time and now I had an excuse - "but mom, when we're walking around I don't want to carry all my stuff in my hands! I NEED a new purse!") which I'm really excited about, but it's a little TOO big...oh well, it was only like $9 (I love Target and their sales).</p>
<p>I love Target too :-) I actually think that I got my sheets there</p>
<p>I went on a Target shopping spree yesterday and got sheets, a bag, sunglasses, and a lot more but I can't really remember. Yay Target! </p>
<p>And yeah, I have school after finals, but only one day. Monday is another finals day, but it's periods 6 & 7 which I don't have finals in. Tuesday I have my last day of school, but there's no set schedule. Everybody just walks around finding out their grades and it ends at 11.</p>
<p>6 days! Now that school's "over" for me I'm really starting to get excited! Time to start packing...</p>
<p>Yeah, I went to Target and got sunglasses for $5.99. I thought they were a good deal and then went back yesterday and those same sunglasses were in the dollar section! Pshh! lol.</p>
<p>wow looks like ill have to try out this target place. i needed sunglasses so i got some really cheap at walgreens but i hate them. jk ive been to target but only like twice and a long time ago. but apparently its the cool thing to do. i should go tomorrow.</p>
<p>Target is a ten minute walk from my house! It's awesomely convenient for life needs...lol. I thought I already had my twin size sheet...but it's not EXTRA LONG and apparently the length matters... Need to go buy sheets.</p>
<p>Also, how dressy of an outfit are you all planning on bringing for the formal dinner? Nice skirt...or black dress?</p>
<p>hm i have a superrad dress i want to bring, just cuz i can. i leave FRIDAY night, i was thinking saturday. FINALS ARE SO DONE I SURVIVED. I went to Ross today and found hot cheap skirts and a pair of pink heels, so perhaps i go purchase them (nevermind the complete impracticality of both). i dont think i really NEED anything, except perhaps a small fan, but whatever. I'm gonna have 2 huge duffels of stuff because after being away for 4 weeks i will be going to visit some relatives for two weeks after. I went to europe for a month for an exchange last year, so 6 weeks shouldnt be too much weirder, just like prep for college!!! as for my sunglasses, i got really cool ones last summer for 7 euro, but they just broke, so i got new ridiculously large white ones :-). so rad.</p>
<p>For "dressy," I'm wearing a black skirt that's a little more than knee-length and a fairly nice white/cream blouse. My shoes are probably going to be a nice pair of sandals or something because I don't own any other shoes appropriate for summer and I don't think after my recent shopping sprees I can convince my mom to get anything more. So yeah...I like how we're going to an engineering camp and we're all busy discussing what we'll wear. :p</p>
<p>oh man listening to reaching talk about her superrad dress is reminding me of how much of a scrub i am. roughly 87% of my clothes consist of norwood mustangs apparel. dressed up clothes? do i know what that is? umm i have a few skirts... maybe ill just buy an outfit in harvard square, but that will undoubtedly be a bit funky. anyone willing to help someone with little to no fashion sense shop for a "dressy" outfit? theres a jasmine sola nearby i think but thats kinda expensive. </p>
<p>i have a desk lamp but it has a halogen bulb and my friends in college said most schools dont allow halogen bulbs, but i didnt notice anything about that in the packet. its not like a fire waiting to happen or anything so i think it should be ok. does anyone know if thats alright or should i just get a not halogen one?</p>
<p>My guess would be you could bring the halogen one since it doesn't say to not bring a halogen one. Then if it's not allowed, buy another in Cambridge?</p>
<p>By the way, did you guys respond to Ms. Skier's email? I didn't know whether to or not...</p>
<p>Haha, nobody's going to be inspecting your room.</p>
<p>Bring whatever you want. :)</p>
<p>Hmmm...my dressy outfit? Well I was maybe going to bring the dress I bought for graduation this year (...underformers girls needed dresses) because its really cute. But its bright green :-P and if everyone is wearing darker clothing I'm not sure its appropriate. So, I might just wear a black/white skirt and a pink blouse. </p>
<p>Oh and I didn't reply to her email (I dont really have any questions yet).</p>
<p>Though we need to be on campus by 3pm Sat?</p>
