Did I mention I moved out for three weeks? Well, I did. My friend got married in the beginning of August and her husband was gone for most of September. She didn’t want to live alone, so I stayed with her. I liked it for the first couple of weeks, but then I started missing my family, the space of a house, my room, etc. So now I’m back home.
What is new, you ask? Or you don’t. I’ll answer anyway. School is going well. Better than the trainwreck of last fall. the semester is already half over and I’m getting A’s so far. However, the classes are only English, Chemistry, and History, so we’ll see. I only work three to four days a week, so I generally have plenty of time for homework. (Which I’m actually supposed to be working on right now. I have a five page paper due Monday. Insert slightly smug, “oops you caught me” look here.)
Earlier this summer I asked my dad to make me a bookcase. And it is finally done. I confess, I have been buying books in the past couple of weeks in an attempt to either fill it up or flesh out my personal library. either way, I got them at a steal. Used book sales are amazing. I suggest you check your local thrift stores and libraries. I got 16 books at the thrift store for $3.56. Including: the joy luck club, the door in the wall, matilda, the client, the black stallion, stuart little, etc. I got 13 books at the library for $6. And there is this awesome website~ betterworldbooks.com. They have a bargain bin: five books for fifteen dollars. And free shipping and handling. Hurrah!! Clearly, I love books.
Anyway, the bookcase has five shelves, trim, and my dad carved a little heart out at the top. It’s perfect. I love it. The thing is, I don’t think all of my books are going to fit. Go figure. Oh, well. Maybe that’s a good sign.
