I haven't been up to too much these days. Just the usual routine of going to uni, sleeping at ridiculously late hours, hardcore gaming on my DS, struggling through my readings, and hopping on the interwebs to not be a complete social hermit. =P

One of my units this semester is pretty interesting though. the reading this week was talking about why we envy people and all that. It says that no matter how much we have, how wealthy we feel will always be dependent on how we compare ourselves to those in our reference group. So, for instance, even though we may not care how rich Paris Hilton is or something, if someone we knew in high school were to become amazingly successful, we'd be envious. They also had a formula for self esteem:

self esteem = success/expectations

So, because we live in a society where we're bombarded with messages saying if we work hard enough we can achieve anything, we've come to expect more, and because rarely anyone would be able to buy or achieve everything they wanted, our self esteem is sucking and we're unhappier. Which is so damn true!

And this is also why I'm going to try and be happy with everything I have.

Which is REALLY going to contradict what I'm about to say now. lmao.

I've been watching this mustard blazer on eBay since...about a month or two ago. [yeah, it's been awhile.] But I'm not sure if I should buy it. It's about 26 bucks including postage. Although I'm probably going to make an offer and see if I can't get it a lot cheaper. It's been sitting there on eBay for awhile so I'm hoping for the best. =D Have a look!

...I just like mustard for some reason. funnily enough though, not the food product. lol

Sooo, what do you think?

Also, I have a dinner date with Roger tomorrow. YAY. We're usually doing more laid back stuff when we're out and about, so I tend to get a bit over excited when we do something fancy. =P And I always love the opportunity to dress up a bit. =D

Anywho!

I'm off to grab myself a zooper dooper. I am such a kid, but I can't help that they're so darn DELICIOUS!

Talk in awhile crocodiles!
