Today was probably one of the worst lazy days of my life.
I woke up at noon, put on windpants, the C-2 crush pary shirt I slept in and my chewed on Ariat boots. Without looking in the mirror once, I swept my hair up into a tiny sumo-wrestler pony tail and rushed out to the waiting truck for class.
Maybe the odd looks on the way into Zachry should've given it away, but no, I singlemindly sauntered into class and participated in the day's discussion.
It wasn't until I finally walked by a window on my way to Starbucks that I realized I looked like a hobo, and not in a good way at all. So after grabbing my coffee I decided it was time for a change. I was not doing myself justice by dressing to this standard. I'm sure my long-suffering boyfriend would agree, I'm just too lazy and complacent to actually get ready and look presentable for the day ahead.
Well no longer are the t-shirts and jeans acceptable as everyday attire, perhaps every once and a while of course, but from now on a new Muffin will emerge from my front each morning, one that is dressed appropriately to a senior in college with dreams of law school.
Camilla: in Roman mythology, legendary Volscian maiden who became a warrior and was a favourite of the goddess Diana. According to the Roman poet Virgil (Aeneid, Books VII and XI), her father, Metabus, was fleeing from his enemies with the infant Camilla when he encountered the Amisenus (Amazenus) River. He fastened the child to a javelin, dedicated her to Diana, and hurled her across the river. He then swam to the opposite bank, where he rejoined Camilla.
YES. I've taken to sweatpants. Target has the most delectable Hanes simple sweatpants for $7. I bought 3 pairs.
