Exactly three weeks later and things haven't really changed much. Physics is still physics, whichever angle you look at it from. One thing that has changed, however, is my opinion of my own wardrobe: never particularly good at the best of times, but after three weeks of trying to throw a decent outfit together for school every day, I've started to despair.
Such is the eternal problem for the non-uniform-wearer. No matter how hard we try not to, we all form impressions of people based on their clothes, right? So I should try to make my clothes as representative of myself as I can, right? Easier said than done. Not only do I have no idea how my personality translates into topsand trousers, but I genuinely don't know enough about fashion to confidently represent myself by way of clothing.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think I'm alone in this. Aside from the slavish followers of fashion, how many people have the time and/or money to spend styling themselves a la Gok? How I wish I could customise my old clothes and wear headbands with the confidence of the models, but I have a feeling those clothes would look strange in a Maths lesson.
So I seem to have fallen into a general pattern of jeans and boots, little tops and big cardigans. Which I actually find quite to my liking, especially as I walk through a forest and across fields on my way to school, so I need sturdy shoes. Morning dew on the grass is beautiful and perfect, but when I'm ploughing across my second wet field of the day and the icy water is sinking into my socks, I'm not quite so keen.
I'll keep up my routine of jeans and boots. It seems like the easiest option right now, but wait a minute - what happens when I run out of these? Must go, internet shopping sites are calling my name...
