Dear Diary, August10, Oxford England
Debbie's home from school this weekend. And she was only there a week and a half! She says it's not cause she's home sick but because she wants to take me school shopping! Well she did! WE rode the subway into London (It took us 2 half hours!) and we shopped from 9:00am to 4:00pm! Yes, I know that's along time, especially since I'm not much of a shopper! But anyway we both woke up at 5:00am and were at the subway station by 7:00am so we could get there by 9. I got sooooo, much stuff while we were shopping! I can defiantly add this to my list of things good about Oxford, England! Well any way I got 3 sweaters at the first store. Two of them were just plain turtlenecks one blue and one red, (Deb was NOT happy about that choice she says and I quote: "Sometimes you just have absolutely no sense of style!) Well any way, the other sweater I got is really cool! It's stripped like 10 different colors and it's really cool! I also got 2 T- shirts that say a bunch of weird things, like their advertising for the store. But Deb says there "cool". I guess I trust her... Also at the store I got two pair of jeans, only there really tight in the thighs but then they get really loose and they sorta stick out after the knees. Debbie calls them "flares" and "bell-bottoms". She says I look really great in them because I have a nice butt. Weird huh? Well any-way by the time we got out of that store it was already 10:30! At the next store I got two pairs of Corduroy "Flares" and a jean skirt. At the next store I got 4 long sleeve shirts. Two have buttons all the way up them. Debbie said have to wear and undershirts with those so we got two. One is just a plain white and the other is blue. Debbie taught me how to wear them so people can see that

I'm wearing an undershirt. Once again I find my self saying isn't that weird? At the next store I got another pair of flares and another jean skirt. After that it's was almost noon so we decided to get lunch. We went to this cute little café and we both got coffee and pastries. My coffee was good (who thought I would ever say that!) It was thing called a Carmel mochachino. Debbie explained to me that a mochachino is coffee with a lot of milk and it has chocolate in it. Debbie got a plain cup of coffee. Sometimes she can be soooo boring. After lunch we went to this little souvenir shop that had sweatshirts that said London in these really fancy letters! I got a blue one! Next we went to a langere store and Debbie taught me how to buy a bra. She couldn't believe I was 15 and I didn't own a bra. She said she got her first bra when she was 11. I got 5 pairs of bras and matching underwear. Debbie told me I should ALWAYS wear a bra. She said that now since my bra size is B30 that I always Havta wear one. She said it's a rule of womanhood. At the next store I got another sweater, 2 more long sleeved shirts, another jean skirt, a black skirt, and a pair of khaki flares. After that it was already 4:00 so we decided to go home. I never realize me and Deb could have so much fun. But hey I guess there's a first time for everything.

Dear Diary, August 11, I think you know were by now! Well mom sure burst my bubble today! She said that the school I'm going to has uniforms (something I can add to my what I hate about Oxford England list) so when we went shopping to get my supplies we also got "appropriate clothes". I never knew I need soooo supplies just for school! I needed four binders, 4 notebooks, 12 pens, 12 pencils, colored pencils, crayons, markers, and highlighters. I also got 5 skirts and shirts for my uniforms. It wasen't nearly as much fun as shopping with Debbie.. Oh well.
