As the end of the first semester is ending it's time to order those dreadful books again. Die. The lingering question in my head is why do textbooks have to cost so much money?! We already pay big bucks for tution, shouldnt that pay to borrow books? It's not like I will ever use them again.
I was able to cut down this semesters book costs by about $100 dollars. It helps when there are a few great websites where you can rent books for a cheaper price. The two websites that I looked and compared prices from were campusbookrentals.com & valorebooks.com. Then of course ISU has their "SPECIAL" books that can only be boughten from the book store. For example my math book. It costed me about $120 but if I want to sell it back to them at the end of the semester they will only give me around $20 back. That is so lame. Colleges need some sense knocked into them. I am already poor then I have to whip out all this money. Aint nobody got time for that!

Tennis with Taylor
So college is not "the best time of my life" as some people would say, but it's not horrible either. I am attending Idaho State University and let me tell you it's is a big change. Walking to and from the many different buildings is great....well it was great until the cold weather blew in. When I say it "blew" in I mean it. Here in Pocatello the wind never stops! No use styling my hair anymore.
This week has been quite eventful compared to my many weeks of school, work, dinner, homework, repeat. On sunday night I had a slumber with Taylor which was super exciting. First sleepover in quite a while. Monday night was spent grocery shopping because my fridge was literally empty. The only items in it were water, cheese, and tortilla shells. On Tuesday I didnt have school so I was very productive and got a lot of homework done, played tennis with Taylor, did a little bit of shopping (mainly in the mens department, they have great sweaters and it's much cheaper than womens). Half way through the week and it has already been great!
Tennis is a sport that I find very fun. I will admit that I suck at it and probably wont ever become pro, but we had a lot of fun just goofing off and trying to get better. We also did a little power walking around the track. Made me feel like those mommys that power walk with weights and sweat bands. Oh what an adventure! I hope there is more to come.
