Hi. I can't sleep! It's exciting! I have to be up in less than 5 hours.
So about a week ago my friend and I were hanging out where all the college kids hang out, you know... at the college. We overheard that there was to be a great bus caravan to a special event at the local Target and that there would be free give-a-ways and a DJ and gift bags and killer discounts!
It was earlier this evening (um... last night?) from 10:30pm-midnight! So myself and 4 other single moms decided that we would crash their exclusive little Target party. We drove over there after having secured babysitters for our kids, with CAL ID's in hand (just in case,) ready to face not only age discrimination and requests for proof of ID, but also crowds of dorm kids with daddy's credit cards. GOOD FUN.
Anyway the free door handouts were full of CAFFEINE and we partook. Bad move for the 5 of us that have to wake up at like 6:30am to get our kids to school before we actually need to be in our classes. I hope my friends are having better luck falling asleep than I am =/
That said... I'm really not sure why they only offer this to the students that live in the dorms. I mean, here in the university village, which is literally on the other side of the train tracks from the Target, we could all really benefit from discounts on back to school supplies and stuff, I mean most of us are buying that stuff anyway for both us, and our kids! They could make so much more money if they invited us! And we're closer! They wouldn't even have to pay for charter busses to get us there!
So it was odd, and I am tired, but can't sleep.
Tomorrow is the last day of my first week of my second to last semester at UC Berkeley. I'm still blocked from registration, broke as hell, and both excited and scared.
Wish me luck kids. I think I'm going to need it.
