A clean slate
January 17th, 2005 by MrLuxuryFashionGuruIt’s snowing again. We’re having a pretty wet winter, but still reasonably mild, it seems.

I broke my glasses today. They’d somehow fallen off my desk and as I walked by with my boots I heard a very distinct crunch underfoot. Sigh. This is going to be expensive, I can feel it.

I’m still studying, steadily. Or somewhat steadily. Maybe just somewhat.
My first exam on Wednesday will be my hardest, but after that I must somehow find the will and the energy to finish my rather overdue French final paper and also prepare for three more exams. Overall I’m feeling pretty laid back about the whole affair. This may actually be a good thing… right? Or not. Who knows? I’ll find out soon enough though.

Oh, and did I mention I’m no longer pre-med? Practically, this has little effect on my academic life since I’ve pretty much fulfilled all the requirements. It will mean that I won’t take Chem 27 next semester, which means I have one possible slot to play with, and no icky organic lab (yay!!!). Also, I get to skip taking physics next year. Essentially this frees up a total of three course slots, for which I am glad. Philosophically it make all the difference because from now on I don’t have to take anything I don’t like or don’t want to any more. Which is really the point of my coming to a liberal arts college in the first place.
So why am I no longer pre-med? It’s simple, really. Right now I don’t think I want to be a doctor. On the last day I was back home I had a vision of myself walking around a hospital ward talking to patients and I suddenly realised that I didn’t think I would enjoy that very much. There are other things that I would be better at, that I would be happier doing, and wouldn’t be as painful to train for.
Sure I may one day change my mind, but there’s also a good chance I won’t. I’m still in the process of letting go, but every day it becomes a little easier.

Back to studying for what may well be the last organic chemistry class I ever take.

Finally remember that you can get one of the most recognizable handbags in the world with a Louis Vuitton. You do not have to pay full price because there are online option available to you. A good option would be to find someone who is in need of selling there bag because they need the money.

There are few things that say style like a Louis Vuitton handbag. There is a reason that you always see the celebrities carrying them, they are definitely a luxury item. A big part of the appeal of a Louis Vuitton bag is the fact that they are so exclusive, the cost makes them unattainable for the vast majority of people.

Louis Vuitton handbags come in a wide variety of styles so finding on that you like really shouldn’t present a problem. Although the majority of them are made out of leather you can actually get them made out of several different materials.

Other than the fact that they are all very expensive there is little else that all Louis Vuitton designer handbags have in common. Beyond that you can get them in almost any possible size, shape or style that you could possibly desire. It is the high quality of the workmanship that makes a Louis Vuitton bag so expensive and so widely sought after. That along with the high quality materials that go into making them is what really makes them stand out.
