Crap=shopping.

Yes, I have been absent. I did not post for two days. I just did not feel like it and did not have time. I have spent the past days working on a paper to submit to a conference. I am not even satisfied with the results. Actually, I feel it's a shitty paper, but at the same time I wanted to submit it trying to get some feedback. I am also struggling to work on two presentations due tomorrow and lesson plans plus exams. I am a mess and consumed by academic work. So the blog is secondary. I also feel I don't want to wear what I own. let me explain. I want to wear few items I have and repeat outfits I like. My closet is full of dresses, but dresses can be uncomfortable to wear and they need to be paired with cute high heel shoes. I just don't care. I don't care about shopping anymore. I went to Marshall's this weekend to find some kind of storage containers. While passing through the clothes all I saw was expensive cheap crap. I have become extremely conscious when shopping. One of the main reason is that you spend money for crap that will break in five seconds. So what's the point? I don't see the point of buying, unless it's an art piece or well done item. Maybe this is the result of a recession that pushed me to save money or distribute the money in other sectors less materialistic such as traveling and food and art. Sorry for venting.
