Salve for your textbook buying woes

Go to Bookrenter.com and prepare to be amazed.
My $200 finance textbook cost me a whoopin' $85.96 WITH shipping.
I am so happy that I could very well cry with joy!

I saved myself a total of $50 this semester on books.
Ergo, I was able to purchase the optional book for one of my business classes that
really wasn't optional at all.
So yay for me!

In other Year of the Learner news:
Yesterday at the job fair I was volunteering for, I found out that if you're
persistent enough, you can make the HR director for a major resort here in the Beehive State
fall over and let me help him pack his stuff and send him on his merry way.
For added bonus: you get a stellar reference out of the whole experience and a job offer
that you are grossly lacking in experience.
Didn't take the job offer because the job is in Midway and well,
no car + more than an hour commute = no dice.

Anyhow, I need more to learn about. If I plan my money right, I'll be able to take a road trip
to LA for spring break and buy a digital and manual film SLR camera.
Maybe I'll just buy a digital SLR camera and worry about the manual film camera later.
More loan money in the fall will definitely make that possible.

A Healthy Start

So, you know when the beginning of the new year rolls around and you recommit yourself to begin a healthier lifestyle and then you kind of crash and burn somewhere around the end of the month? Yeah...I've been there. Like every year of my my twenties. For some reason, the closer I get to turning 32 - yikes! when did that happen??? - the more I think about where I want my life to go, what I want to do, who I want to be...you get the point. Almost a week ago, I started exercising every day with just one rest day a week. Today - Saturday - is my rest day. It also is my sugar day. Anyhow, last Sunday I was sitting in my room perusing Pinterest. I was coming off a graveyard shift sleep the daylight hours away stint and I was bored. I said to myself, "You should do something healthy today. You've slept all day and have energy to burn." Somehow I ended up on this wall exercise chart thing on a friend's board and I thought, I can do this. It's quiet. I won't wake...

Book Report

So, remember when I told you guys that I was going to start reading autobiographies and biographies and the like? Well, I FINALLY finished this book. I had to renew it because I made the mistake of getting two Harlan Coben books and well, he's one of my most favorite mystery/suspense author's EVER. The Harlan Coben books were of course read in less than a week. I don't know how I did my homework. Good thing a lot of it is online and not due for a while...but still. I need to stop this habit of reading books when I should be doing my homework. Anyhow, The Road to Woodstock was a pretty good read. Lots of history. I don't know if anyone who reads my blog is really into Jimmy Hendrix or anyone from that era, but it was really cool to get an insiders perspective on what went on. The organizing of Woodstock was a pretty big undertaking but in the end, the organizers just let everyone in regardless of if they had purchased a ticket or not. Did you know that? The organizers of...

Done

I am so happy that I'm done moving! Now comes the almost unwelcome task of unpacking. As it would have it, I've moved into a smaller space and I need to throw out a few things. Maybe, once everything is cleaned up, I'll take pictures. My younger brother, the previous tenant of the space, has left the bathroom a complete mess. Thank goodness for Scrubbing Bubbles and some pretty amazing toilet cleaner. It'll probably take a another day or two to get the shower to the point where I won't be afraid to shower in it. Its pretty nasty I tell you. Anyway, I'm running out of things to write about today. I'm not feelin' it...

A Little ♥ and Soul
