Tomorrow I'll be leaving for Utah. I'll be there for a couple of days then I'll be moving back home!
I am feeling kind of sad and scared about leaving though. I might never go back to school here! I most likely will never see the majority of my friends here again! That makes me feel kind of apprehensive. But, I am so excited about going home for a few months, working, and leaving on a mission! Hopefully in December or January!
Tonight Hannah, Savannah, and I are having a slumber party! We're going to watch movies and snack before we all say goodbye tomorrow. I also have to clean half of the kitchen and my room. Most of my room is already packed up and in my car!
Oh, I sold a few of my textbooks this week! The day before yesterday I sold 2 books - a Russian workbook from a few semesters back (it only got $11 back, sad!) and my Microbiology textbook. That one returned $96! Nice! I also had my Chinese Literature and Culture books, but I didn't get them from the bookstore, so they would get lower buy-back prices ($10 and $5 - NO THANKS!) But they told me to check back in a couple days, and if they still hadn't received their book quota for them, the prices would go up (supply/demand cycle in action!) So I went today with my 2 Chinese books, and I also brought a cool Social Problems book that I got online last January. Actually I got all 3 of them from Amazon.com for pretty low prices. I MADE MONEY today!!! I think I might have gotten just as much, if not more for what I paid for the Chinese books ($25 and $23), and the best one is the Social Problems one! It is in extremely good condition, almost brand new (although condition doesn't really matter with the buy-backs), but I found it on amazon.com last winter for $6!!! And about $6 shipping and handling, so I'm pretty sure I didn't spend more than $15 on that pristine textbook, and the university bought it back for $30! Although, if you buy the book from the bookstore, it's not less than $60-70, depending on whether you get it used or not. If I had purchased the book from the bookstore, I probably would have only gotten $40 or so back. But I got mine for less than $15 and got $30! Wow! And now the expenses for my trek home are all covered!
AND Jolene, the manager of our house, is giving our deposits back as we leave!!! That'll be an additional $100 of instant cash! So this week I'll have gotten about $250+ in cash! This would be the perfect weekend to get mugged.
Well, I'm probably going to head back to my house now and get cleaning. And I'm really hungry too. I'm going to fix something to eat, then clean, then go swimming at Rigby Lake with friends! I really wish I could see the new Batman movie tonight, but the tickets sold out by yesterday morning!!! I've been chilling at the Clarke computer lab ever since I walked out of the testing center (also located in the Clarke!) I love iMacs!
