These past weeks went by fast! When I think about it though, I did do a lot. I ride the subways from line to line without a second thought, listening to music or reading a book instead of nervously staring at my phone map and anxiously checking each stop we make with the stops on the map (to make sure I'm going the right way and won't miss my stop haha). I can order in restaurants without being scared and chat with shopkeepers while I'm browsing their stores. I can cross major streets with ease and know how to navigate crowded stations and sidewalks correctly for here (essentially resist from apologizing to everyone I brush by, be quick on my feet and when I see an opening, move FAST). I've made friends and some seriously nice people in malls, subways, and streets. So really, I've learned so much in this time without realizing it; I feel like I'm growing as a person. That thought makes me so happy :)

I got two thick woven cardigans in black and oatmeal (they're the kind with the slits in the side for your arms, so its long sleeve but rather ends around your elbow) for $10 each, two soft, silky dress shirts in taupe and green for $5 each (they were really good-quality material too, I can't get over this; the tan one is long enough to wear with tights and a belt), a striped shirt and tan belt for $5 and $3, a gray shirt with a leather collar and pocket for $5, and 4 scarves for $10.
