Shopping paradise

All my life I've wanted to have money. I don't mean like a millionaire (it wouldn't hurt...), but being able to buy almost whatever I wanted without having to count every single pence.
The more I walk around Oxford St. the more I wish I had money...
I bought a 5-pound scarf a couple of days ago but I could really spend $5000 without major problems... I also bought the latest Foo Fighters CD (In Your Honor), I'm listening to it right now and still getting used to the new songs. I already have a favorite: "DOA".
Anyway, I walked in a store called H&M and started browsing around. Let me tell you something: I feel soooo sorry for the girls back in Porto Alegre, all dressed alike, no style at all, no options. This store would be like Renner or C&A here and you really have a big variety of clothes and they're not so expensive (the problem is ME!). Paula told me that you can also find things at Gap, Next, Zara and a few other shops.

I have to control myself here. At H&M I saw this beatuful suede jacket, all trendy and cool, for $60. Could I buy a jacket like that in Brazil for R$60? I don't think so. Scarfs for $4, handbags for $15... Pants for $30 (the thing is being able to fit!!!)
Regent St. has the most expensive stores (a handbag for $450, for example). I'm planning on doing this: every week I set a limit of $15 to spend with whatever I want. The last week of the month I buy something more expensive (up to $70). So this way I'll have a brand new item in my wardrobe every month (either pants or jackets or shoes or CONVERSE tennis shoes).

Enough about shopping otherwise I'll start to feel depressed over here...
It's been a tough week for me because of the weather. Last Friday and Saturday was pretty cold (for me) and Sunday and Monday and Tuesday was ok. But yesterday it started to rain and the temperature dropped suddenly and I was only wearing a T-shirt and my jeans jacket. I've had a sore throat since last Saturday and I don't seem to get better any time soon. I will work the day after tomorrow for three days in a row, probably 10 hours a day and having to work feeling like shit is the worst thing, especially when you have to move around fast and be constantly doing something. I just keep thinking about the money, that's my ONLY motivation to go back to that place. I have to check out some places that Ryall sent me by email.

I got a phone number today. My classmate David is going back to France in two weeks so we sort of arranged to do something before he travels. I also have to get Lisa, Jenny and the other Swedish girl's phones for us to start doing something here. The girls will study for 4 months.

It started to rain again and the temperature right now is 17ºC (probably lower than POA, am I right?). Paula said that we'll still have one more "heat wave" in September, but then the temperature will abruptly drop over the night and it'll only get worse (or better, depending on your preference!)
I just don't want to feel sick this weekend!
