One of the things I miss most is getting to places easily.  This is not a commuters place.  The nearest mall, by car, is only 15 minutes away; but by bus, is an hour long.  That is not very convenient.  The nearest outlet mall is about an hour and a half away.

Thank goodness Barnes&Noble is a bit nearer to our place.  At least there's a convenient book place around.  Of course I can also get my fill of fiction and children's books online, so at least the looking should be easy.  If I get really lazy I could also get my clothes online.  Most of these things are pretty accessible in online, if you only know where to look.  Everything from clothes to books to activity sets can be found easily.  There are sites where you can even sort it by brand and price range.  I jjust bought a couple of shirts from Wet Seal, and I think they're uber cute.  Unfortunately I wouldn't be anywhere near the place for the next week, so at least I have an option to get more clothes.  Not that I should do.  It's hard enough trying to stuff all my things in my luggages.  I still am waiting to be shipped off to wherever I'm supposed to work in.

In the meantime, I better get myself ready to take my driver's exam.  Urgh.
