today

1. Bought a suit for the first time

I've recently been reading up more and more about how suits should fit and other such things. I think ever since my floormates got fitted/tailored suits, I've felt I, too, needed a suit. To be a man, or something.

So I got measured, went to Boscovs, bought a dress shit and tie. Horrible fit. Everything is baggy, arm is billowing in cloth, sides are poofy. I refuse to spend good money on something I will not like. Decided, grudgingly, to try Express. I don't know what I have against Express, just always seem to metro for me, everything is slim.

Well, it fit pretty well, so I dropped a lot of money on a jacket, 2 shirts, 2 ties, and 2 pants. But I am pleased with my purchase. And I feel like I've been buying clothes wrong this entire time. I've been buying 32-34 pants when I'm a 32. I've been buying medium shirts (38-40" chest) when I'm a small (36" chest).

Unluckily, there really are no more interviews/job fairs, but...

a man needs a suit. At least that's what society tells me. That's what I think too though. I would post pictures...but no.

2. Flying out to school tomorrow. Will be a rush to get to my 11am class...to spend $60 on a taxi or to rush through public transportation and hope I make it to my class? Reminder to myself not to do this again (although if I didn't, I wouldn't have found time to get a suit).

Spring quarter. I don't know what to expect of you. Last year, you had the most depressing spring weather ever. Please change. I'm semi-excited for classes, but sad I had to ditch Yuri/Bernard/others in Asian Am 203 for EECS394 (EDC but for programmers basically).

I've missed Evanston though.

Express is expensive man....but at the same time, if I went to somewhere else, I would've spent about the same amount for just jacket/pants. I think it was a good deal. I think. I don't know the value of clothes.

I feel like 3 people read this blog. BW, CK, BH. Probably for the best.
