More Stuff

Today we went to Bed, Bath, and Beyond to get some more items for college. I picked up an alarm clock, mattress pad, two blankets, a shower bag thingy, and a pillow protector. I found this wonderful looking teal wastbasket also. I also went to Sam's Club (Bulc Mas backwards) to get a huge container of All laundry detergent. Also I attempted to search for Snuggle laundry sheets, since the bear is so soft and cuddly and the sheets make my clothes soft and cuddly, but alas they were not there. So instead I found a printer that was for a great price. For the price of $89 I was able to get a copier, scanner, and printer. It is very good and excellent. I cant wait to use it on campus it is the HP Photosmart C3150. As the days draw near, I continue to look at all this stuff for college and wonder how it will be.

Will it be fun? Will it be enjoyable? Will I find people to talk to? Oh these and more questions go around my head. I need to find more books to read on these subjects of college life.

I am also going to order my textbooks from Barnes and Noble. Because I paid 25 dollars the last time I went to B. Dalton I am now a member of Barnes and Noble bookclub. Thanks in part to a far future sight, I am now able to get my textbooks for about 20 dollars less than they are at VCU. This is great news and I get free shipping. I am going to order all new textbooks and hoard (yes hoard) them over until I graduate and then resell. That way I can get the full price that they are worth or either save them as momentos for college classess or use them for reference books. The three books I am getting are for Precalculus, Biology (the same one I used for AP Biology two years ago Argh!), and Ethics and Applications.

And for some housecleaning news: The issue of the price has still yet to be resolved. We are currently in limbo as to what today. I suggest paying and then getting the money back for I do not want to worry about if the money doesnt get to the school in a fast time. My parents are urging themselves to contact the school to see about if they should pay or not.
