Hello, my name is Grace, and in about ten years or so you'll be buying my premortem biographies where they'll be flying off the shelves like Harry Potter on a Summoning Charm spree. Just kidding.
I swear, my life has been so much better since I created a "Lookbook" folder for my Hotmail inbox. Since then, my inbox has been so happily uncluttered with tons of LOOKBOOK.NU mails, plus I can pack all the unread ones into the folder, and garner quite a huge number if I'm hardworking and don't read them just yet. Seeing a nice 3 or 4 in the folder can be quite nice- it's like a pile of Christmas presents!
Suddenly, leaving the school in December and effectively missing Week Without Walls (WWW) doesn't seem quite so bad. I get a new free period! I went to see Mr. Helgeson and he said I could go to the library- and since for my Maths (my only homework) I need to have graphing paper, I don't have anything to do right now except explore new websites, blog, and listen to Lenka! (She's the new Taylor Swift. Except... she's more an English version of Carla Bruni, I guess. Oh, wait, Carla does sing in English- but C's voice in French translated. Yes, that's it.)
So far, I've had 2 librarians come up to me and ask me what I'm doing here, wondering if I knew there was WWW meetings. I feel like those "mathematicians of death" Mr. Fertal told us about, going around announcing sombrely, "I'm not going to be around for WWW- I'm leaving the school." Or maybe my idea of a heartbreaking announcement is purely egoistic. Hmm, that must be it.
I have discovered GARANCE DORE! And actually I'm quite dumb, I've been putting off exploring it for some time but I can tell it is going to be the new SSS/RCFA/TCH/WWW/TS (I never hung around the Sartorialist for long but I WILL COME BACK!), as it seems having 4 main fashion sites is never enough (for one, there's always times when ALL 4 are not updated and I have nothing to browse through...). If you're not sure what the abbrieviations are:
