2nd Semester Books

Waking up to snow AND new school books?? Wasn't expecting either, I knew the books were on their way, but UPS is never here this early! I got my psych and pharm books, and study guides for everything else today. The study guide for med surg makes me want to cry, because its huge! I thought they messed up and sent the actual med surg book early! But no, they didn't mess up, its huge. I need to find a way to sew two backpacks together so I can carry all of this stuff.

I am very happy with the amount of money I saved this semester. Last semester, I was so excited for books that I just bought them at whatever price the school bookstore was selling them for, I knew I could have been patient and found them online for cheaper, but I'm not usually patient when it comes to things I'm super excited about. But when I saw the price for our Med Surg book on the site of the company that our school buy their books from, I wanted to puke. $350 for ONE book, and Harper would have probably marked it up a lil bit higher. I actually managed to get all of my books except for one for around $400. So, I am happy to have saved so much!

They don't even have all of our books in yet. School starts on the 18th, and nursing students usually have to start reading before hand, especially this semester. But then again, our instructors haven't even posted our courses on blackboard, so we would have no idea on what to start reading anyway! Nevermind. I forget that I am always way ahead of myself.

I am enjoying my free time, but I also kind of want to be getting back into gear for school. Such a torn soul, lol.
