Mom's First Day of School

About Me
I had a busy first day at college. Anybody who has had to wait in the forever winding lines in the bookstore (seriously - through the store, around the back, and nearly up to the front again - reminds me of Christmas lines the day after Thanksgiving) can understand my frustration in having to go to 2 different college bookstores to get all of my books. I tried to get my books last week, but of course they were not in. They were SUPPOSED to hold them for me, but somehow lost my request. So I had to pay the highest price at the last minute. Ah, well. I guess I did not need that extra $25. At least the scholarship paid for the books.

I have 2 classes - Web Development level 2 and Javascripting. Both are time consuming and require a lot of studying on my part. I have one class on campus and one online. The online class is poorly developed and I hope I can muck my way through it. It is not looking too good right now as there is nothing there but reading the book. YIKES! Typically my online classes have been well explained with lots of examples. Not this one.

Other Stuff

Life is moving right along for everyone it seems. We took our aboveground pool down and the stench of the dead grass underneath was as if we had unearthed a dead body. It was sickening! The dog was the only one who could handle going into the back yard for several days. I hope our neighbors are not wondering about us. No cops have arrived yet.

We have all new appliances except for a stove. I am hoping one will come our way soon since half of the burners hardly work and the front door is rusting. Who would have thought the dumb thing would last less than 5 years in a new house?

  1. My little sister gets her texbooks at a fraction of the cost at half.com. She's always been able to find her books and they are delivered to her door.

  2. All my books were just released this summer and Half.com did not have them. That is the main problem with having up-to-date computer textbooks. They are almost always brand new. I usually buy mine at Half.com too. I usually sell mine back there too, but I will probably keep them since they are central to what I am learning.

    Thanks for the tip! They have great prices on video games and I have a few of those for sell too.
