Essential

I start work tomorrow.  This is my bag of essentials.

Hand lotion: I learned quickly in the admissions office that when working with lots and lots of paper, you need hand lotion approximately every five seconds.

Seven thousand Band-aids: Even gallons of hand lotion won't save you from paper cuts.

Neo-to-go: See above.  Also, I found it from when my mom bought it for me for Europe and was like "man, I should bring that."

Chapstick: The weather has dropped to about 5 degrees and I need it all the time.  Also, it tastes like strawberry.  Also, it's shaped like a candle.

Sidenote: This morning I discovered that I had a candle shaped chapstick that was vanilla cupcake flavored and I was like zomg how is this possible?  So I grabbed it and brought it to class with me and now I can't find it.  Every time I find something awesome, I misplace it.  Such is my life.

"Chocolates from around the world" chocolate: You just never know when you're going to have one of those days.  Also, my mom got me a Costco jar, so I basically have an endless supply.

Bright red/orange nails: Because I had to watch the Sister Wives special on TLC before we could watch the season five finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and I can never just do one thing.  Also to mess up all of the applications I touch tomorrow.

Now I must add in the last ingredient...

Sleep.  I can never get enough.  No, seriously.  Eight hours is really not enough for me.

10am alarm... I will miss you.

Love and sleep deprived,
Courtney
