packing plans
OMG OMG OMG
Im going to Mexico for the holidays and I am having a mini freak out about not having enough clothes for the trip. I do NOT want to be that person where in every vacation picture they are seen on different days wearing the SAME THING! I also really really hope I come up on some funds so that I can do some super last minute shopping [in between studying for finals of course] and make sure i have at least two weeks worth of outfits. Which is still dumb cuz im totally going to be there three weeks. Plus, there is a quince that I am going to and i need day/night clothes for in case we go out[side or to the taquero] cuz every event holds the same importance. DUH
SOOOOOOO I literally have three pairs of blue jeans and one pair of black jeans. That is four pairs of pants which is not enough, in case you had trouble interpreting data. I know that I can wash these clothes while there but how lame is it to have the same four pairs of jeans on an entire trip to a country you've never been to??? I KNOW!
On another note, I do have a multitude of t-shirts and tops so I won't be terribly depressing in portraits. I do have to say I do not want to bring these shirts because if something should happen to my luggage on the way there or after arriving I would have no clothes to wear in Mexico but worse, I will have no shirts to wear when i get back from Mexico and I totally have school six days after I return... So I'm thinking I should stock up on tops at F21 or something so its cheap but semi nice and I still wont feel super bad if the shirts parish. Soooo I really do need to come up on that money afterall.
And my boyfriend, who I love so so much.... so so sooooo much ;), said he would like to buy me two pairs of shoes I've had my eyes on which would be pretty darn awesome.
[the shoes]
But anyways, I kind of really need a couple jackets for over there too and I haven't seen any I particularly like and I also really want that blazer from the new store in Cerritos mall but I don't know if they still have it and I have to see if Oscar will take me tomorrow and I totally need money to go anyways and UGH..... but I hope I can get it cuz it fit me so perfectly...
Like that one but I think it has two buttons instead of one, but it may have one. It fit me sooo well too I hope they have it cuz the Foreign Exchange site doesn't sell anything online yet /////sigh
So to recap, I am too excited to go to Mexico and I leave Wednesday and I am freaking out about packing. Hopefully I have some fundsssss

thank you
The Pilgrims and the Indians sitting down for dinner together is not the real reason for Thanksgiving, as most people might think.
Thanksgiving is in fact not an old holiday, or connected to 17th century New England in any way. No "Thanksgiving" feast occurred in Plymouth. Only within the 20th century did people begin to associate this day with the Pilgrims and the Indians. This was promulgated mostly by a cheery whitewashing of the Pilgrim-Indian relationship, and the Christian slant given the day of observance created by Abraham Lincoln in 1863.
"The Pilgrims were Puritans, which is a very strict religion," Professor of Early American History Edward Gray said. "The way they gave thanks was through fasting. They would not have feasted to give thanks." Had the Pilgrims been giving thanks, the leader of the church would have announced a time of atonement throughout the town. This would have resulted in solemn prayer and fasting for a specified number of days.
The true tale behind the turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce dates lead back to before the end of the Civil War and Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln decided that Americans needed to have a day to give thanks to God. In the middle of the civil war, Lincoln was grappling for ways for people to come together, trying to hold the union from breaking apart. Lincoln stated in his Thanksgiving Proclamation of Oct. 3, 1863, "I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens."
And over time, starting from Lincoln's proclamation - this tradition evolved of specific dishes. This combined with white guilt over how the Indians were treated and got somehow transformed into this idea of Pilgrims and Indians coming together. This single feast linked through one letter sent back home turned into this bland, mindless gorging by a country who neither farms or harvests, nor does it hardly show the proper dignity and respect to the people who were here first, the Natives, who saved the first Pilgrims' asses in the first place.
So there's your Thanksgiving, America. Enjoy
