"How are we supposed to go shopping without a car?" "Take the bus and walk! Duh!"

So I've been busy moving into my dorm and stuff this past week; therefore, I couldn't blog! Moving was tiring! Unpacking was even less fun. But I like the way my room turned out =)

I was also interviewing and I got a job! I work in a research lab, which means no cute clothes for me! My shoes, skirts, and dresses are very sad. But it is a good job and I get pay more than my last job so it is important for me to keep it. I think it will be a great resume boost as well when I apply for pharmacy school. My boss, Dr. Bayless, will also be a good person when I need a recommendation letter! Another thing about pharmacy, I get to shadow a vet pharmacist every friday afternoon! I am really looking forward to that!
Beside all those good academic events last week, I set a side sometimes for shopping with my best friend Drew (she's a girl, just in case you are wondering...) I don't have a car and she just visiting, so we had to find other mean of transportation to get to the mall. We used the off-campus bus and our legs to get there! We actually had a lot of fun despite Texas hot summer. Here are some of the things I bought:

From Charming Charlie (CC) for about $12 total. Not cheap but they are so pretty!
CC for $19.98 - I love them!
CC for $5! So elegant!
Adorable hat from CC for only $3!
$5 at CC. Supper cheap high-waisted belt!
2-ways clutch at F21 for only $10!
My birthday present from my sister (F21)

I also bought tights (of course!) but they are not anything fancy so I didn't get their pictures. I did find 2 new places to shop for them though! And they are cheap there too! I bought 2 sock-tights from Payless shoes for about $8 total because they were buy one get one 1/2 off. They are grey with diamond pattern and black with vertical stripes. They are not as thick as I thought they'd be, but pretty great for the price! Then I bought 3 more normal pairs from Charming Charlie for only $6 total! Amazing right? Drew got a pair of white mirofiber tights from Icing store for less than $3 as my birthday present! They were so comfortable. I needed them for my ballet class, which is coming up on thursday!
Great shopping!!!

The day before my PCAT

I woke up today not knowing what to do. I knew that I should relax so I decided to stay home from the free tax shopping crowd. My mom and my sister went shopping without me. But as the day went on, I did not know how I should relax and I was getting frustrated and bored staying home alone...so I decided to go shopping! My mom stopped my the house and picked me up after the 1st shopping trip. Now for their 2nd and my 1st of the day! Since I did not have anything thing to do the whole day, I put together a cute outfit to match with one of my favorite shoes. I didn't take a picture of it though so may be I'll do that next blog if I remember =) Anyway, 2 persons commented on how they thought that my shoes were cute when I was at the shopping mall! They made the pain of the heels goes away, and me very happy =] I only went to 2 stores: Rue21 and Papaya. Here are my free tax findings:
@ Rue21. $ 5.00


Also @ Rue21. Buy one get one free! $19.99 total

I've been looking for a shirt dress and now I have one! @ Papaya. $17.59

I know I just bought 2 pairs of ankle boots last week but these were too cute and cheap to leave at the store!
@ Papaya. $20.99

I'm going to bed now to reserve my energy for the PCAT tomorrow morning! Wish me luck! =)

Last-minute back-to-school shopping and studying!

I finally got to print my PCAT admission ticket today! I got the morning test @ 8:30 am! At least I'll get it over with soon...


I'm going to a Vietnamese buffet restaurant after my test! At least I have something fun to look forward to that day. Then I'll get to move back to A&M for a brand new school year the day after that! Whoop! =)

Speaking of moving in, I went shopping for dorm stuffs yesterday and bought some more tights and shoes! I think I'm addicted to them!!! I bought 2 pairs of ankle boots at Walmart and 3 more pairs of tights at Forever21.

Classy and black! $22

From the Miley Cyrus & Max Azria line: $20

These two were $ 5.80 each

This one was $6.80

I think that was enough fun for summer shopping. I need to finish studying for PCAT and pack for school!

Recent Pharm & Fash activities

I have 10 more days to prepare for the PCAT. I'm almost done with the Kaplan book. Only 2 more chapters and then the practice test left. I think I pretty much caught up to where I need to be. I still need to review on a couple of things before I can feel somewhat ready. I also have to go online and print out my admission ticket. Then I'll be ready for my D-day! =(

Now to the fun stuffs: bargain shopping @ Kohl's! I went to the Kohl's near my house yesterday because they sent my dad a 20% off coupon, which actually does not start till today, but the nice cashier girl let me have it anyway! She was nice! So here were what I got!!!

Only $13.60!

Whooping 6 bucks! =)

So this was a dress but the top didn't fit me well so I chopped it off and made it a skirt! Also $6.

My favorite piece of all! Vera Wang's flats! $17.99 =)

With the coupon, I only paid about $40 for all of them! I love bargain shopping!
