Lovely, lovely summer weather

Finally, the weather is beginning to act like it really is summer. Which is wonderful, since I've been dying to pull out some dresses and skirts and other summer clothes again. Because it was so nice, I decided to walk to the library instead of taking the bus yesterday. On the way back I stopped for a few minutes near the town hall building to rest in the shade. While I was there, I snapped this picture to show how nice and sunny it was:


Wonderful, yes?

Explanation

Ok. So. I realize I made the new blog rules so that I wouldn't get behind on posts again. But here's the thing: the class I'm taking these next three weeks requires that I have a new book read almost every day. Averaged out, it's probably around 200 pages of reading a night. So I'm probably going to be behind these next few weeks. Now that that's out of the way, here's monday's picture:


This was the original college building on campus, way back in the day. Now it holds things like academic services, financial aid, study abroad, counseling, and career services.

New book!

This weekend was lovely. The weather finally started to warm up a little, I hung out with my friends, got to sleep in, and my family came to visit me yesterday.

Saturday
Saturday was a pretty lazy day- I slept in, got lunch with my friends, and we played some Magic. The evening was kinda boring, cause most of my friends went out, and I'm quite 21 yet. It was ok, though. I finally caught up on Diggnation, and I rediscovered that I absolutely love this tea:


Sunday

Sunday, of course, meant more sleeping in. Or, would have, but my parents called at 10 and told me that they were going to come up to visit. Which is a fair trade. B came with them, and brought me a sweet surprise:


I loved the Percy Jackson books, so I was really excited to find out that the author was writing a new series based on Egyptian mythology, as it's my personal favorite. It's really very good- I read almost the entire thing last night.

Interim

Finally, finals week is over. Sadly, I still have 3 weeks left of class since I signed up for spring interim. Miss Tiffany, however, did not. While I was sad to see her go, it's kind of nice to have the room to myself.


As you can see, I've already started to take over the empty side. lol

Hulking out

This book. It causes such rage.


Firstly because it's Spanish, and Spanish and I did not get along while I was taking those classes. But it mostly fills me with rage because when I tried to sell it back yesterday, the TROLL working a textbook buybacks wouldn't take it. This book cost $120. Selling it back would have got me an entire $21. Which, really, is enough right there to be upsetting. However, this is not why I'm hulking out. No. I'm hulking out because of the sad, pathetic reason she refused to take my book. She went through the entire book page by page, not even just flipping though, but page by page, and found SEVEN PAGES that I had inked on. Please keep in mind that these are USED textbook buybacks, and I have bought used books from campus in far worse condition. At least my scribbles are useful- not random doodles or something. ugh. It makes me want to pull my hair out.
