Big things

Two things that are "big" in my life:

There was a peeping tom on campus this week. He was caught peeping in my housemate's window, and lurking around between the houses on our block. Um...creepy. So we are all now going around with cell-phones in hand, Campus Safety is wandering around our block at various times to check that we're okay, we don't let anyone in the back door (even housemates). We don't really feel un-safe, just a little freaked that this event actually occured at our house. Emily is still pretty wired, she's been sleeping on our couch upstairs, but since the authorities have been seen more recently around here we don't feel as bad.

I was unpacking my winter clothes today, and found that I really have no space for more clothing in my room. So I got rid of....(you'll never guess).... HOODIES! Yes, it's true, I got rid of hoodies. Four of them. And 2 pairs of jeans. I still have more comfy cotton than anyone could ever need, but that's a huge purge of my normal wardrobe. I'm hoping this will force me to wear more of my nice clothes, which I suppose I should get some use out of since I paid money to buy them all. I believe this is really a big step in my maturity, that I could let go of some things that were a part of who I am but really just un-neccessary baggage. Sounds weird, but getting rid of them made me feel like more of an adult.

Two completely unrelated things, but big none the less.
