Shopping and Granado Espada
He's gone.
I thought I would cry, but I didn't. I had even planned not to wear any eye makeup because I was worried that I would end up crying and rubbing it off before the day was over, but as it turned out I didn't need to worry after all. It was a good idea anyway because I was tired when I got home and needed to rest a bit before I was ready to do anything else.
After I dropped him off at the airport, I did some comfort shopping. I used my new GPS to navigate around Greensboro, which made things easier for me, even though I always miss that exit turn from Battleground onto Wendover, lulz. It was a pretty good trip. I bought a $90 Kathy Van Zeeland bag for only $40, and I bought a cute chemise with matching boyshorts and a shower wrap at Kohl's.
I really need to stop spending my money, though. I paid my college bill yesterday and it was almost $7,000. It ate a huge chunk out of my savings account. :\
I started playing Granado Espada yesterday after I finally came up with a good family name for my characters, but unfortunately it's kind of boring, as far as gameplay goes. The characters and environment are beautiful and I really do love the game for the character designs, but the whole system of leveling and hunting monsters is very frustrating. I don't mind killing lots of monsters to level up, but the maps are so filled with monsters that go aggro on your characters and then respawn almost immediately after you kill them, which isn't very convenient if you're traveling or even if you just want to pick up the occasional item drops. I might give it a few more days to get better, but if it doesn't, I'll probably go back to RO2. It's probably a good thing that I haven't gotten too attached to it, though. I'm going to be too busy for MMOs after I move, anyway.

Impatience and more anxiety
I feel like I'm still playing the waiting game with VCU. I've been accepted and I've finished almost everything that needs to be done before I can go up there, but I still feel anxious and impatient. I probably won't feel comfortable about the whole thing until I actually get up there, but it seems like the summer is dragging on forever, and I don't like it. I feel like I should be relaxing, but I can't relax because I want things to get done, but I can't get everything done right away and I'm frustrated about that.
In addition to being impatient about starting at VCU, I've also been a little upset that my boyfriend will be leaving soon. I don't like being emotional or mopey, and I don't want those kinds of feelings to prevent me from enjoying my experience at VCU, but I don't really know how I'm going to deal without him. We didn't think we'd ever have to say goodbye again, and that's going to be the hardest part about it. I don't really want to think about it.
In other news, I finally got around to ordering the shoes that my mom promised to buy for me. I decided to just get the Converse shoes and not bother with the other pair. They're cute, but I looked at a similar pair by the same brand in Journeys and I just didn't think I would like them because they're made differently from the kinds of shoes that I'm used to wearing and I just don't know if I would be happy with them. Plus they're skate shoes, and I'm not a skater, so I don't know if I should even be wearing them if I'm just going to be walking in them. So for now, I'm not going to worry about spending the extra money on them.
Well, I have to wake up early tomorrow morning, so I'm going to go get ready for bed now. Goodnight! :3

Short update
Finally updated my website with my most recent drawings/CafePress designs. :3
Other than that, not many interesting things have happened to me since I last wrote. I had a couple of doctor's appointments this week; I had my depo shot on Monday, and my dermatologist prescribed a new topical gel for my acne today. Hopefully my skin will clear up before I go to VCU.
I have about only two weeks left to spend with my boyfriend before he moves back home. I'm thinking about taking him out of town with me next week so that we can eat at the Olive Garden and so that I can finish shopping for my dorm supplies. I've ordered my bed and bath linens online, but there are a few odds and ends that I still need, like a basket to store and carry my shower supplies and a toothbrush case. I might also buy a few new cosmetic bags to store my toothpaste and other essentials in, but I'm not sure because I already have a number of cosmetic bags.
Friday I have a hair appointment, and to be honest, I'm not sure what I want to do with it. I kind of like the way my hairdresser has been cutting it, but I'm also thinking about cutting it a little shorter in the back. :\ I guess I'll look online a bit before my appointment and see if I can find a better style.
