Here is the dilemma: my one and only class for tomorrow just got cancelled. Do I keep doing work? Or do I just call it quits for the night? Do I go to work tomorrow? Or do I just stay home and watch daytime television? They are all very appealing (okay, the work not so much appealing, more like necessary).

On another front, I signed up for a subscription of W magazine. As the “W” might suggest, it’s a women’s magazine, on fashion mainly (or at least I hope it is fashion since that was the reason I subscribed). I get a cute black tote bag for free with the subscription, another incentive. I figure that a medium sized tote bag is a good introduction to the toting world. I used to be against tote bags (along with several-months-expired ski lift tickets still attached to jackets–you know what I’m talking about?), but these days, I feel like I’m trying to edge closer to the sorority girl lifestyle.

So why the sorority girl image all of a sudden? I’m not sure. I just feel like I underwent this attitude change the past 2-3 years: from I wear baggy jeans and I carry a calculator to I’m going to try high heels and skirts everyday. Okay, I’m not quite at the daily heels and skirts stage (nor do I think I would ever want to be), but I’ve got to admit that my entire wardrobe has turned over to become more “girly”. Maybe I want to stand out in my own way at a place like MIT where girls are more like boys, and boys are just … well boys. Maybe it’s my own insecurity in the image I think I am presenting to others.

A true feminist would say “why should you have to be girly?” or perhaps “only airheads shave their legs” or something else equally feminine-tastic. I guess I have just really grown out of my feminist past.
